Abstract:
A fiber optic node (100) includes an electronics equipment enclosure (120). The electronics equipment enclosure (120) includes a lid (135) and a base (140) defining an overall interior space (145) of the electronics equipment enclosure. The lid (135) includes a lid top (137) and a lid mating surface (138) to contact and overlap a base mating surface (143) of the base (140) to close the electronics equipment enclosure (120). The lid (135) further includes at least one lid side wall (176) extending away from the lid top (137). The at least one lid side wall (176) includes at least one protruding lid side wall (175) extending outwards to project beyond the lid mating surface (138). The base (140) includes a base bottom (142) and at least one base side wall (141D) extending away from the base bottom (142). The base (140) further includes a base mating surface (143) to contact and overlap the lid mating surface (138) of the lid (135) to close the electronics equipment enclosure (120).

Abstract:
A method of partitioning a video coding block for JVET, wherein a set of MPMs includes a set of other than 6 intra prediction coding modes and can be encoded using truncated unary binarization, 16 selected intra prediction coding modes can be encoded used 4 bits of fixed length code and remaining non-selected coding modes can be encoded using truncated binary coding and wherein a JVET coding tree unit can be coded as a root node in a quadtree plus binary tree (QTBT) structure that can have a quadtree branching from the root node and binary trees branching from each of the quadtree's leaf nodes using asymmetric binary partitioning to split a coding unit represented by a quadtree leaf node into child nodes, representing the child nodes as leaf nodes in a binary tree branching from the quadtree leaf node.

Abstract:
A method of decoding JVET video includes receiving a bitstream and calculating a final planar prediction in planar mode to predict pixel values for a current coding block. The final planar prediction may rely on using unequal weights applied to each of a horizontal and vertical predictor, where such predictors may be generated by interpolating neighboring pixels for each predicted pixel within a coding block. The computation may be made more accurate by deriving a value for a bottom right neighboring pixel.
Abstract:
The disclosed system and method provide for a CATV power amplifier (560) in which power dissipation may be reduced by dynamically adjusting the amplifier bias such that the bias is high only when high peak output signals need to be produced. By combining a bias control signal and an RF data signal into a single signal produced by a single DA converter (540), the disclosed examples require fewer DA converters and a need to synchronize DA converters to produce each of the signals individually is eliminated. A low frequency signal may be added to the RF band to find an optimum compromise between positive and negative peak excursions produced by the amplifier such that an overall reduction in bias may be achieved.
Abstract:
An optical combiner for a communications network transmitting both upstream signals and a downstream optical signal. The communications network includes an array of amplifiers, each receiving a respective instance of the downstream optical signal. The output of each amplifier is split among a plurality of ports in a first splitter/combiner unit. The first splitter/combiner unit transmits the amplified downstream optical signal to respective second splitter/combiner units.
Abstract:
A video data encoder generates a first metadata structure to describe one or more transfer functions to be applied by a decoder to reshape decoded video data into video data. The encoder segments a transfer function relative to P pivot points. It then allocates P cells in the metadata structure for storing the P pivot points. Each transfer function segment is fitted to a respective equation having N coefficients based on the order of the equation. The encoder allocates N+1 cells for each pivot point except for the P th pivot point and stores the number N in the first cell and the N coefficients in the remaining cells. The encoder generates a second metadata structure, associated with a video data set, that includes data identifying the transfer function to be applied to the video data set. The encoder encodes the video data including the first and second metadata structures.
