A method performs inverse tone mapping of an image in a decoder. For each block of each color channel of the image a scaling factor is determined by adding a predicted scaling factor for the current block to a difference between the predicted scaling factor and the scaling factor of an adjacent block. An offset value for the current block is determined by adding a predicted offset for the current block to a difference between the predicted offset value and the offset value of the adjacent block. The scaling factor and the offset value are applied to pixel intensity values of the current block to produce a mapped block. The inverse tone mapping can also be applied to blocks of different sizes.

A switching device for RS-232 serial port and USB serial port is adapted to simultaneously provide a RS-232 serial port and a USB serial port for a micro-processor with a single USART. The switching device can automatically switch to select either of the RS-232 serial port or the USB serial port as a main interface for communicating with other external computer facilities and related peripheries. When one of the serial ports is selected as the main communication interface to communicate with one of external computers, the other one serial port thereof still can transmit signals from the micro-processor to another computer through its transmitting data pin (TXD).

A weight release mechanism for an underwater object. Through a detachable latching mechanism between the underwater object and a heavy block and a set of control circuits, the underwater object may be released from the heavy block without any damages to the latching mechanism and may be reused many times. The releasing process is triggered by an electrically driven rotation.

A pressure release mechanism has a securing end, a detaching end and an activation piston. An inner cylinder and an outer cylinder in communication with the inner cylinder are defined in the securing end. A concave annular recess is defined in the inner periphery of the outer cylinder. A spring is compressed in the inner cylinder. The activation piston has a first extension and a second extension respectively extending from opposite ends and an annular groove defined to receive therein an O-ring. Multiple holes ate radially defined in the detaching end to receive balls. A cylinder in communication with the outer cylinder of the securing end is defined in the detaching end, and an axial hole is defined in the detaching end to communicate with the cylinder and the external environment. When the activation piston is movably received in the detaching end cylinder and the securing end outer and inner cylinders, the balls in the holes are held in the concave annular recess. When the balls are released from the annular recess due to the movement of the first extension, the securing end is detached from the detaching end.

An apparatus and method for video coding having intra-slice deblocking, intra-slice adaptive loop filter, and intra-slice adaptive offset are disclosed. In a video coding system, a picture is often divided into slices and each slice is independently processed so that errors or missing data from one slice cannot propagate to any other slice within the picture. In the recent high efficiency video coding (HEVC) development, deblock filtering (DF), adaptive loop filter (ALF) and adaptive offset (AO) may be applied to reconstructed slices. When the processing is applied across slice boundaries, it may rely on pixels outside the current slice and cause dependency of the current slice on other slice(s). Consequently, the DF/ALF/AO processing on a reconstructed slice may have to wait until the reconstructed slices that it is dependent from complete the DF/ALF/AO processing. To overcome the slice boundary issue, intra-slice DF/ALF/AO is developed that does not rely on any pixel outside the currently slice. An optional slice boundary filter may be applied to slice boundaries after all slices are processed by the intra-slice DF/ALF/AO.
