Abstract: Fast chargers have recently become widespread due to their ability to reduce charging times. Because of the high power needed from the grid, these chargers need a very complicated infrastructure with high rated components like connectors, cables, and breakers which are not commonly found. Installing a used battery with the charger helps reduce power drawn from the grid as the battery supports the charger to supply the needed power to the load. Therefore, the user can enjoy fast charging without the need to invest in changing their infrastructure. The batteries can also supply power during peak periods when electricity prices are high, which will reduce the user peak demand, thereby reducing the electricity bill. The charger can also be upgraded with a converter to integrate solar panels into the system, where the solar panel supplies the power to the batteries as well as the grid.

Abstract: Syntax elements are written to a bitstream to designate bit depth precision for palette mode coding of video blocks. During encoding, a bit depth to use for palette mode coding a current block may be based on an input video signal including the current block or based on some change in bit depth precision. A prediction residual for the current block is encoded to a bitstream along with syntax elements indicative of the bit depth used for the palette mode coding of the current block. In particular, the syntax elements include a first element indicating the palette mode coding bit depth used and a second element indicating whether to apply a bit offset to the palette mode coding bit depth. During decoding, values of the syntax elements are read from the bitstream and used to determine a bit depth for palette mode coding the encoded block.

Abstract: A detection system for a host vehicle includes a camera, global positioning system (“GPS”) receiver, compass, and electronic control unit (“ECU”). The camera collects polarimetric image data forming an imaged drive scene inclusive of a road surface illuminated by the Sun. The GPS receiver outputs a present location of the vehicle as a date-and-time-stamped coordinate set. The compass provides a directional heading of the vehicle. The ECU determines the Sun's location relative to the vehicle and camera using an input data set, including the present location and directional heading. The ECU also detects a specular reflecting area or areas on the road surface using the polarimetric image data and Sun's location, with the specular reflecting area(s) forming an output data set. The ECU then executes a control action aboard the host vehicle in response to the output data set.

The L-shaped partition of the picture is partitioned into a plurality of rectangular sub-blocks when the coding block is the L-shaped partition, each corner of the L-shaped partition being a right angle. Residuals of each of the plurality of rectangular sub-blocks in the coding block are determined, by the processor, based on the transform coefficients of the respective rectangular sub-block. Samples of the coding block are reconstructed, by the processor, based on the residuals of the coding block.
