Abstract:
A method and apparatus for adaptive de-blocking filter are disclosed. One or more parameters associated with a de-blocking filter are determined. De-blocking filter using the derived parameters are then applied to reconstructed blocks. Each set of parameters is used for each picture, slice, coding tree unit (CTU) or CU (coding unit). The parameters can be signalled in VPS (video parameter set), SPS (sequence parameter set), PPS (picture parameter set), slice header, CTU (coding tree unit) or CU (coding unit) of the video bitstream. The parameters correspond to one or more values used as thresholds, clipping boundaries, or both the thresholds and clipping boundaries for the de-blocking filter. In one embodiment, the parameters for the current picture are determined using a training process using a current coded picture a previous coded picture as training data.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for deriving a sub-block motion vector for the current sub-block based on a motion-model function depending on the current sub-block location are disclosed. The derived sub-block motion vector is then used for encoding or decoding the sub-block. The motion-model function may correspond to an affine motion-model function or a bilinear motion-model function. In one embodiment, a new Merge mode can be used to apply prediction of a current block by applying prediction on the sub-block basis using the sub-block motion vector derived from the motion-model function. In another embodiment, an additional inter prediction mode can be used to apply prediction of a current block by applying prediction on the sub-block basis using the sub-block motion vector derived from the motion-model function.

Abstract:
A compression clip structure includes a first clip, a second clip, a shaft, an elastic member and a fastener. The first clip has a first clamping portion, a mounting portion and a first pivot portion. The second clip has a second clamping portion, a push portion and a second pivot portion. The shaft extends through the first pivot portion and the second pivot portion. The elastic member is mounted on the shaft and provided with two resting portions resting on the first clip and the second clip. The fastener extends through a fitting hole of the push portion and has a pressing portion and a control portion. Thus, the compression clip structure clamps a compression bandage, and the fastener secures the compression clip structure and the compression bandage, so as to stop the bleeding stably.

Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for making a non-woven fabric article are provided. The method includes providing a screen mold, disposing a formable material thereover, and evacuating air from the screen mold. The screen mold is made of a non-pliable material, and has an annular surrounding wall that defines an internal space, and multiple screen holes that extend through the annular surrounding wall and communicate with the internal space. The formable material is disposed over the annular surrounding wall and the screen holes of the screen mold, and then air is evacuated from the internal space via a suction device to form the fabric article.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus of deriving a temporal derived motion vector in a second direction based on a given motion vector in a first direction for motion vector prediction are disclosed. According to the present invention, a given motion vector for a current block is determined, where the given motion vector points from the current block in a first direction. A reference motion vector associated with a first reference block in a first reference frame is identified. Then, based on the reference motion vector and the given motion vector, a temporal derived motion vector is derived. The temporal derived motion vector points from the current block to a second reference block in a second reference frame in a second direction different from the first direction. The temporal derived motion vector is then used as one predictor for encoding or decoding of the motion vector of the current block.
Abstract:
A box cutter includes a housing with a blade slide slidably received therein. A pivotal member is pivotably connected to of the blade slide. An inclined face is defined in one of surfaces of the pivotal member and is gradually raised. The inclined face is connected to a pressing area which has two respective rounded guide portions. A spring is connected between the pivotal member and the housing to maintain the blade slide at the initial position. A button is slidably connected to outside of the cover and a spring is connected between the button and the cover. The button is moved to move the blade slide from the initial position thereof to an extended position. When the blade is cutting a workpiece, the blade is tilt and the pivotal member is pivoted by the cover so that blade slide is retracted into the housing.
Abstract:
A system of multimodality-appended rich media comments is provided. The system includes a server and an electronic device. The electronic device includes a network access module, at least one sensor and a processing unit. The network access module communicates with the server. The at least one sensor senses a user's behavior in a recording mode to obtain a sensing data. The processing unit performs an application to provide a source medium, wherein a rich media comment function of the application can be activated to provide multiple interactive objects for selection and then trigger the recording mode. The application uploads the sensing data to the server after the recording mode finishes. The server analyzes the sensing data and accordingly modifies the selected interactive object, combines the source medium with the modified interactive object into a rendered medium, and then delivers the rendered medium to the application.
