  • Adaptive selection of region size for identification of samples in a transition zone for overlapped block motion compensation
    Patent number: 9807424
    Abstract: During a video encoding or decoding process, a predicted prediction block is generated for a CU. The CU may have two or more prediction units (PUs). A computing device selects a neighbor region size. After the computing device selects the neighbor region size, samples in a transition zone of the prediction block are identified. Samples associated with a first PU are in the transition zone if neighbor regions that contain the samples also contain samples associated with a second PU. Samples associated with the second PU may be in the transition zone if neighbor regions that contain the samples also contain samples associated with the first PU. The neighbor regions have the selected neighbor region size. A smoothing operation is then performed on the samples in the transition zone.

    Abstract: A vertical-type semiconductor device includes a first source/drain (S/D) region on an upper surface of a semiconductor substrate. A channel region is on an upper surface of the first S/D region, and extends along the vertical axis to define a channel length. A second S/D region is on an upper surface of the channel region, and separates the second S/D region from directly contacting the semiconductor substrate. An electrically conductive gate wraps around all outer surfaces of the channel region. The gate extends along the vertical axis to define a gate length that is less than the channel length. Dielectric gate elements are interposed between an upper surface of the gate and a lower surface of the second S/D region, and are configured to electrically insulate the gate from the second S/D region.

    Abstract: Generating a behavior profile is provided. A newness score is calculated for a data point corresponding to a context of an access request to a resource made by a user of a client device. Newness scores for a plurality of data points corresponding to contexts of a plurality of access requests are aggregated to form an aggregated newness score. In response to determining that the aggregated newness score is greater than or equal to a pre-defined newness score threshold, data points stored in a data point cache and a long-term storage are used to generate a new behavior profile for the user or update an existing behavior profile for the user.
