Abstract: An atomic layer deposition apparatus for coating on fine powders is disclosed, which includes a vacuum chamber, a shaft sealing device, and a driving unit. The shaft sealing device includes an outer tube and an inner tube arranged in an accommodating space of the outer tube. The driving unit drives the vacuum chamber to rotate through the outer tube to agitate the fine powders in a reaction space of the vacuum chamber. An air extraction line and an air intake line are arranged in a connection space of the inner tube. The air extraction line is used to extract gas from the reaction space. The air intake line is used to transport non-reactive gas to the reaction space to blow the fine powders around in the reaction space and precursor gas to the reaction space to form thin films with uniform thickness on the surface of the fine powders.

Abstract: Exemplary video processing methods and apparatuses for encoding or decoding a current block by inter prediction are disclosed. Input data of a current block is received and partitioned into sub-partitions and motion refinement is independently performed on each sub-partition. A reference block for each sub-partition is obtained from one or more reference pictures according to an initial motion vector (MV). A refined MV for each sub-partition is derived by searching around the initial MV with N-pixel refinement. One or more boundary pixels of the reference block for a sub-partition is padded for motion compensation of the sub-partition. A final predictor for the current block is generated by performing motion compensation for each sub-partition according to its refined MV. The current block is then encoded or decoded according to the final predictor.
