Abstract: Disclosed are a method of encoding a division block in video encoding and a method of decoding a division block in video decoding. An input picture is divided into encoding unit blocks. The encoding unit blocks are divided into sub-blocks. The sub-blocks are encoded by selectively using at least one of intra prediction encoding and inter prediction encoding. A decoding process is performed through a reverse process of the encoding method. When pixel values of an encoding unit block are encoded in video encoding, the flexibility in selecting an encoding mode is increased and the efficiency of encoding is increased.

Abstract: A multi-disk spinning disk assembly for atomization and encapsulation applications. A number of disks 17a and spacers (33, 40) are stacked to form a disk stack 17 having a feed well 31 in the center core of the stack. The fluid to be atomized or encapsulated is delivered to the feed well 31. The fluid then flows into spacer channels (37, 41) within or on the surface of the spacers. The channels (37, 41) communicate the fluid toward the outer edges of the disks 17a. The disk surface past the spacers (33, 40) can have various configurations, such as teeth, weirs, or a bigger or smaller diameter, as desired for particular atomization or encapsulation characteristics.

Abstract: Technologies are generally described for methods and systems effective to determine a weight benefit associated with application of weights to training data in a machine learning environment. In an example, a device may determine a first function based on the training data, where the training data includes training inputs and training labels. The device may determine a second function based on weighted training data, which is based on application of weights to the training data. The device may determine a third function based on target data, where the target data is generated based on a target function. The target data may include target labels different from the training labels. The device may determine a fourth function based on weighted target data, which is a result of application of weights to the target data. The device may determine the weight benefit based on the first, second, third, and fourth functions.

Abstract: Electrodes for use in neural stimulation applications, shaped to have fractal or pseudo-fractal geometries, with a generally planar core portion of the electrode using a base fractal geometry. A series of successively smaller holes is provided in the core portion, where each hole in the generally planar core portion can have a perimeter shape that is self-similar to a perimeter shape of the generally planar core portion. The selected electrode geometry affects the spatial distribution of the electric field in neuron-bearing tissue. This spatial distribution is related to the irregularity—or non-uniformity—of current density on the electrode surface. Optimized electrode geometries increase the efficiency of neural stimulation by maximizing the spatial variation of current density on the electrode surface.
