  • Publication number: 20250071321
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed for performing motion compensation with long-term history-based motion vector predictor candidate(s). A device configured for performing such motion compensation may include a processor. The processor may be configured to obtain a long-term motion vector predictor candidate. The processor may also be configured to add the long-term motion vector predictor candidate to a history-based motion vector prediction (HMVP) list for a current block. The processor may also be configured to decode the current block using the HMVP list having the long-term motion vector prediction candidate.

  • Publication number: 20250055994
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed herein for processing a video block based on depth and/or motion information associated with the video block. The depth and motion information may be obtained by a video processing device such as an encoder and/or a decoder in addition to the video block. By utilizing the depth and/or motion information, the video processing device may determine one or more split lines or one or more split curves for partitioning the video block and may improve the video coding speed and/or efficiency based on the partitioning.

  • Publication number: 20250039357
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing video information comprises determining a chroma component prediction for a current block based on samples of a selected block, the block being selected in an area of decoded picture information based on a template matching process comprising a comparison of a template associated with the current block to at least one other template associated with at least one other block in an area of decoded picture information.

  • Publication number: 20250024067
    Abstract: In a video coding system, it is proposed to adapt video coding tools to the use of Reference Picture Re-scaling where a reference picture has a different size than the current picture to be coded or decoded. Different embodiments are proposed hereafter, introducing some tools modifications to increase coding efficiency and improve the codec consistency when RPR is enabled. A video encoding method, a decoding method, a video encoder and a video decoder are described.

  • Patent number: 11786352
    Abstract: A device for artificial insemination, gynaecological examination of the vagina and the cervix, intra-uterine treatments and uterine sample collection in livestock. The device includes: a guiding sleeve having a proximal end for being positioned in the reproductive system of the animal and a distal end for being handled by the user; a gynaecological instrument, such as an insemination gun, an insemination or treatment catheter, or a sample-collection swab, slidingly housed in the guiding sleeve, the instrument being capable of being operated by the user at the rear end thereof, located on the side of the distal end of the guiding sleeve, in order for the front end thereof to lead through an opening located at the proximal end of the guiding sleeve so as to allow the insemination, treatment or sample collection. The guiding sleeve has a blocking element for blocking the sliding of the instrument inside the guiding sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20130329428
    Abstract: The present relates to an Light Emitting Diode (LED) assembly. The LED assembly comprises at least one LED mounted on an LED board, a heat sink, a driver assembly, and a height adjustment sleeve. The heat sink dissipates heat generated by the at least one LED. The driver assembly electrically and mechanically connects the LED assembly in a light source. The height adjustment sleeve adjusts a luminous centre of the LED assembly, the height adjustment sleeve being positioned between the driver assembly and the heat sink. The LED assembly also comprises at least one reflector, for directing a light generated by the at least one LED mounted on the LED board.
