Abstract: Disclosed herein are carbon quantum dots (CQDs), and methods for producing the CQDs. The method includes the steps of, (a) reacting CQD precursors and a liquid medium at a temperature no more than 100° C. for a first period of time; and (b) adding a monosaccharide to the reaction mixture of the step (a) and allowing the reaction to proceed for a second period of time to produce the CQDs. The CQDs thus produced are about 1-5 nm in size, and pH sensitive, thus may emit blue light at acidic condition and yellow light at alkaline condition.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a Light-weight Video Coding system and a decoder for a Light-weight Video Coding system. The decoder includes: a mode decision module and a motion estimation module. The mode decision module, which adopts four flexible types of mode decision, is used for selecting a mode. And, it is used for selecting at least one predetermined block of a current frame according to the mode including plurality pixels. The motion estimation module, which adopts the Partial Boundary Matching Algorithm, is used for selecting partial neighbor pixels of left and top of the block according to the predetermined block in the current frame. And it is used for comparing with corresponding neighbor plurality pixels of left and top with a corresponding predetermined block in reference frame. It is determining whether the corresponding predetermined block in the reference frame copies and pastes to the predetermined block in the current frame.
