  • Patent number: 11949915
    Abstract: An apparatus for decoding a sequence of pictures from a data stream is configured for decoding a picture of the sequence by: deriving a residual transform signal of the picture from the data stream; combining the residual transform signal with a buffered transform signal of a previous picture of the sequence so as to obtain a transform signal of the picture, the transform signal representing the picture in spectral components; and subjecting the transform signal to a spectral-to-spatial transformation, wherein the buffered transform signal comprises a selection out of spectral components representing the previous picture.

  • Patent number: 10600999
    Abstract: According to the disclosure, a method for producing an organic component is provided. The method includes providing a carrier substrate; forming an electrically conductive layer on or above the carrier substrate; applying an electrical potential to the electrically conductive layer; and forming at least one organic, functional layer for forming the organic component on or above the electrically conductive layer at least partly during the process of applying the electrical potential to the electrically conductive layer.

  • Patent number: 10225933
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the organic light emitting diode (1) comprises a carrier substrate (2) having an organic layer stack for producing light. The organic light emitting diode (1) is electrically connectable via at least one connector (3) as intended. The connector (3) has two main sides (32) situated opposite one another that each have at least two electrical contact pads (31) of the connector (3) located on them. As seen in a cross section perpendicular to the main sides (32) and perpendicular to an insertion direction (x) of the connector (3), the contact pads (31) are arranged both geometrically and with electrical point symmetry, so that incorrect-polarity protection against incorrect electrical connection of the organic light emitting diode (1) is attained.
