  • Publication number: 20250088664
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for video encoding/decoding. In a method, prediction information for a current block is encoded. The prediction information indicates a secondary transform index, based on which a secondary transform core is determined. A first primary transform coefficient block is generated based on a primary transform core of the current block. A size of the first primary transform coefficient block is less than a size of the secondary transform core. A second primary transform coefficient block is generated based on the first primary transform coefficient block. A size of the second primary transform coefficient block equals the size of the secondary transform core. A secondary transform coefficient block is determined based on the second primary transform coefficient block and the secondary transform core. The current block is encoded based on the secondary transform coefficient block.

  • Publication number: 20250088213
    Abstract: A wireless communication is proposed that utilizes a large available bandwidth (e.g., 10-100,000 MHZ) and employs a combination of frequency shifting (from an input RF signal to an IF signal) and frequency hopping from one IF frequency value to another within the available bandwidth. The combination of frequency shifting and frequency hopping adds a level of noise mitigation moving the transmission frequency as a function of time (and avoiding frequencies known to be subject to noise). By its nature, the addition of frequency hopping frustrates the ability of outsiders to access transmissions. A map of frequencies to be used may be delivered to both the transmitter and receiver via a separate command/control signal path. Alternatively, a transmitter may develop the map and forward it to the receiver. The frequency hopping sequence is preferably a randomly-generated sequence that uses the entire available bandwidth.

    Abstract: A method for a touch-sensitive display device includes detecting a first real-world movement of a stylus from a first surface position to a second surface position separated from the first surface position by a first real-world movement distance. The first real-world movement is translated into a first virtual movement from a first virtual input position to a second virtual input position using an absolute movement translation. Based on one or more movement translation context parameters, movement translation is switched from the absolute movement translation to a relative movement translation. A second real-world movement of the stylus is detected from the second surface position to a third surface position separated from the second surface position by a second real-world movement distance. The second real-world movement is translated into a corresponding second virtual movement from the second virtual input position to a third virtual input position using the relative movement translation.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit is described. This integrated circuit may include an optical transmit circuit that outputs optical signals (such as optical pulses or FMCW optical signals) having a carrier-frequency (or chirp) pattern as a function of time, where a modulation signal, associated with an optical source and corresponding to the carrier-frequency pattern, includes a predistortion to reduce a nonlinearity associated with the optical transmit circuit. Moreover, the integrated circuit may include a feedback circuit that measures the nonlinearity (e.g., using an interferometer) and that dynamically adjusts the predistortion based at least in part on the measured nonlinearity. Note that the integrated circuit may provide closed-loop adjustment of the predistortion. In some embodiments, the correction of the nonlinearity may be performed in the frequency domain.
