  • Patent number: 10674140
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method, a processing device, and a computer system for video preview. An exemplary method is applicable to a processing device and includes the following steps. A video file is received and decoded to obtain video frames. Each of the video frames is converted into texture data. Shading computations are performed on the texture data to respectively generate render video outputs for video preview, where each of the shading computations corresponds to a different designated video viewing mode.

  • Patent number: 10532691
    Abstract: A vehicle light strip is provided herein. The vehicle light strip includes a light-producing assembly including a plurality of light sources arranged as a strip attached to a panel. The light-producing assembly is angled in a downward direction to illuminate a ground surface. A photoluminescent structure is disposed on the light-producing assembly and is configured to luminesce in response to excitation by the plurality of light sources. One or more retroreflective beads is configured to reflect an incident light directed towards the light-producing assembly. An optic is operably coupled with the light-producing assembly and is disposed externally of the one or more retroreflective beads for distributing an excitation light in a predefined direction.
