Abstract: Encoding or decoding a video signal includes determining a first partitioning of at least a portion of a frame before a current frame in a video sequence. The first partitioning is modified to a second partitioning using a motion vector that predicts at least one prediction sub-region of a first region from the first partitioning. The second partitioning is used to encode or decode a current region of the current frame. The current region may be collocated with the first region. The technique eliminates the need to re-partition an entire frame each time, and can be used with both rectangular-shaped block partitioning and partitioning using masks and other partitioning techniques.

Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels. The pixels may have color filter elements such as red, green, and blue color filter elements. A layer of opaque material may be used to form a black matrix. The black matrix may have openings that receive the color filter elements. A backlight unit may produce backlight illumination for the display. A reflector layer may be interposed between the black matrix and the backlight unit. The reflector layer may have openings aligned with the openings in the black matrix and the color filter elements and may overlap the black matrix. Some of the backlight from the backlight unit may pass through the color filter elements. Other backlight may by be recycled by being reflected off of the reflector layer, thereby enhancing backlight efficiency.

Abstract: The subject technology discloses a system for filtering out touches on a touch sensitive input device (e.g., touchpad) during a typing-intensive task. A typing task detection module receives key-press events and computes the typing speed in terms of keys per second in combination with a determined amount of typing based on a number of received key-press events. When input speed and amount of continued typing are higher than a threshold, the typing task detection module then determines that the user is performing a typing task. The typing mode and other characteristics of user's typing activity are used to adjust the responsiveness of touchpad. The subject technology further includes a touchpad responsiveness adjustment module. This module receives the determined typing speed and amount of typing from the typing task detection module, and adjusts the input sensitivity (which controls the responsiveness) of the touchpad to filter out accidental finger touches.
