Abstract: Various schemes pertaining to pre-encoding processing of a video stream with motion compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) are described. An apparatus determines a filtering interval for a received raw video stream having pictures in a temporal sequence. The apparatus selects from the pictures a plurality of target pictures based on the filtering interval, as well as a group of reference pictures for each target picture to perform pixel-based MCTF, which generates a corresponding filtered picture for each target picture. The apparatus subsequently transmits the filtered pictures as well as non-target pictures to an encoder for encoding the video stream. Subpictures of natural images and screen content images are separately processed by the apparatus.

Abstract: Systems and methods of performing location tracking with ultra wideband (UWB) are provided. The system includes a network formed by base stations and tags. In operation, the system configures multiple Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) slots within a predetermined time frame. The TDMA slots include a clock calibration packet (CCP) slot, personal area network (PAN) identifier request and response slots, and TDMA tag slots. In the CCP slot, clock synchronization is performed among the base stations and the tags. In the PAN identifier request and response slots, the base stations receive reservation requests from the tags, and send correspond reservation responses. In each TDMA tag slot, the base stations listen to ranging requests from each tag, and send corresponding ranging responses with corresponding timestamps indicating the corresponding TDMA tag slot for each tag. Each tag only wakes up during the corresponding TDMA tag slot, thus achieving low power consumption.

Abstract: Provided is a progressive addition lens without a progressive corridor and capable of eliminating the peripheral unwanted astigmatism on both sides of the central progressive zone of the lens. The rear surface of the lens blank is processed to form a three-dimensional freeform surface, making it the lens of the present invention, which can provide a clear distance view on the top thereof, a clear near view on the bottom thereof, and a clear intermediate view thereof at the middle progressive zone. The present disclosure has a wide field of view and a high visual clarity that greatly reduces the interference of vision in the peripheral unwanted astigmatism area.

Abstract: A system and method, for the assurance of authenticity, confidentiality and integrity of the executed programs, the analytic models and the processed data used by heterogeneous processing units such as graphic processing units (GPU), neural processing units (NPU) and video processing units (VPU), etc. that are connected to the central processing unit (CPU) through standard open interconnects such as Ethernet, USB and SPI, etc.

Abstract: A touchpad press device includes a support unit having two first sides interconnecting between two second sides, and first engaging members proximate to the second sides. A touch unit with a touch switch is disposed above the support unit, and a transmission unit is disposed between the support unit and the touch unit. The transmission unit includes peripheral plates, each of which is disposed above one of the second sides and has second engaging members, and a pressing plate to trigger the touch switch. When one of the peripheral plates is pressed downward through the touch unit, the other peripheral plate turns upward so that the second engaging members thereof engage the respective first engaging members to limit the other peripheral plate from moving further upward.

Abstract: Provided is progressive addition lens without a progressive corridor and capable of eliminating the peripheral unwanted astigmatism on both sides of the central progressive zone of the lens. The three-dimensional freeform surface design of the lens and injection molding method are used to manufacture the progressive addition lens, which can provide a clear distant vision on the upper part thereof, a clear near vision on the lower part thereof, and a clear intermediate vision thereof at the middle progressive zone. The present disclosure has a wide field of view and a high definition that greatly reduces the interference of vision in the astigmatism zone.

The arched sheet is mounted to the second electroconductive sheet and is pressible from a preset state to a bent state, with the arched sheet being deformed and proximate to the first electroconductive sheet, and further from the bent state to a contact state, with the second electroconductive sheet being compressed and with a central portion of the arched sheet being brought into contact with the first electroconductive sheet to thus electrically connect the first and second nodes.

Abstract: Distributed resource allocation for devices can be facilitated via a priority sequencing scheme. The priority sequencing scheme can mitigate source device collisions by assigning priority values to source devices and channels associated with the source devices. Various priority sequencing can be used based upon whether source devices can only communicate with a limited number of sink devices or whether source devices can communicate with all sink devices.
