Abstract: The general intra prediction process is unnecessarily complicated with inclusion of the reference sample filtering. This application provides solutions for this problem. A method for intra prediction is provided. The method includes: during an intra predicted sample generation stage, obtaining a filtering indication, which indicates whether a filtered value or an unfiltered value of reference samples of the current coding block will be used. When the value of the filtering indication is true, a prediction sample is generated by using the filtered value of the reference samples based on the planar mode. When the value of the filtering indication is false, a prediction sample is generated by using the unfiltered value of the reference samples based on the planar mode. As a result, the reference sample filtering stage can be fully removed or can be combined with other stage.

Abstract: Techniques to detect faults in a battery with at least two parallel battery cells. In some examples, a cell may fail or become disconnected. The circuitry of this disclosure may determine whether a battery pack has a fault by measuring battery parameters at the positive and negative terminals. When the circuitry detects a fault, the circuitry may adjust the charge rate so that the charge does not exceed the maximum charge rate of any single cell of the battery pack.

To avoid false positive fault detection, the circuitry of this disclosure may verify the detected fault and the parameters of the charging cycle before reducing the charging current.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for synthesizing a diglyceride. The diglyceride is obtained by mixing a fatty acid donor with glycerol, partial glyceride lipase, and monoglyceride lipase by adding water, then subjecting the same to an esterification reaction, with a reaction time of 8 to 24 hours, and further separating and purifying the same. In the present invention, monoglyceride lipase is used to promote the reaction efficiency of partial glyceride lipase in the esterification reaction, so as to increase the synthesis rate of diglyceride. Compared with a single enzyme, the synthesis time is shortened by half or more, and 45.50% or more of diglyceride is obtained after the esterification reaction. Since substantially no triglyceride is generated in products, the content of DAG reaches 98% or more after the same has been purified by means of molecular distillation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for power line control of devices. The system operates in two modes. In mode one, the system operates on an open loop architecture with a controller generating a sinusoidal wave using a crystal oscillator. Control information is added to the sinusoidal wave by alternating the output of two phase shifted waves which have the same frequency and amplitude to form a control signal. The resulting control signal is sent on a power line. The control signal is received using a crystal filter, decoded and converted to executable instructions for the devices and data parameters for sensors. In mode two, the system operates on a hybrid open loop/closed loop architecture where devices are jointly controlled by the controller and the sensors.
