Abstract: An apparatus including a memory structure comprising non-volatile memory cells and a microcontroller. The microcontroller is configured to output Core Timing Control (CTC) signals that are used to control voltages applied in the memory structure. In one aspect, information from which the CTC signals may be generated is pre-computed and stored. This pre-computation may be performed in a power on phase of the memory system. When a request to perform a memory operation is received, the stored information may be accessed and used to generate the CTC signals to control the memory operation. Thus, considerable time and/or power is saved. Note that this time savings occurs each time the memory operation is performed. Also, power is saved due to not having to repeatedly perform the computation.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods and apparatuses for video encoding/decoding. In some examples, an apparatus for video decoding includes receiving circuitry and processing circuitry. For example, the processing circuitry decodes prediction information of a current block in a current picture from a coded video bitstream. The prediction information is indicative of an inter prediction mode with a potential usage of a refinement technique based on a first reference picture and a second reference picture. Then, the processing circuitry determines whether a first equal weighting condition of chroma components from the first reference picture and the second reference picture is satisfied. In response to a failure to satisfy the first equal weighting condition of the chroma components from the first reference picture and the second reference picture, the processing circuitry disables the refinement technique in a reconstruction of a sample in the current block.

The control circuit may receive a signal from the controllably conductive device that represents a voltage developed across the controllable conductive device during the first duration of time. The control circuit may generate a sine-wave-shaped signal that complements the voltage developed across the controllably conductive device during the second duration of time. The control circuit may also filter the signal from the controllably conductive device during the first duration of time and the sine-wave-shaped signal during the second duration of time.
