  • Publication number: 20240151029
    Abstract: The present invention provides a sidewall system and a collapsible building using the system thereof. The sidewall system has a fixed wall, a sidewall, and a single-side eave system that has an eave panel that can be unfolded and folded along with the movement of the sidewall automatically. A collapsible building with two sidewall systems and a sliding, retractable roof is also provided. The collapsible building can create an enclosed space easily and quickly. To solve the above problems, the present invention is proposed. A retractable roof with a foldable ceiling is provided. The roof can be used on some expandable structures such as recreational vehicles or mobile houses. Compared to the traditional sliding roof, this invention combines a foldable ceiling inside the roof. The ceiling can split the roof and room which offer a better thermal insulation function.

  • Publication number: 20240151028
    Abstract: A pneumatic active sealing wall can create a seal between a movable wall and another part of a structure, such as a recreational vehicle, mobile home or the like. The pneumatic active sealing wall design allows the wall to expand from two sides, and, by expanding the wall parts into the side walls, gaps will be eliminated. The sealing wall can be used, for example, to create a seamless wall for folding mechanisms. Since such folding mechanisms do not allow lamination connection, the stretchable design of the pneumatic active sealing wall can solve the problems associated with sealing such movable walls.

  • Publication number: 20240138559
    Abstract: A storage mechanism for houses and expandable houses allows items to be stored in a space close to the ceiling so the storage space will not reduce the available floor space in the house. The storage will only reduce the height of the ceiling by a small amount, which does not affect most people. When activated, the system can automatically move the stored item to the room on the side and make them accessible to the user. The design aims to allow the users to store many items on top of their head to save spaces. It essentially eliminates the need of an additional storage room in smaller houses. It also allows multifunctional room when the storage system have some furniture like a TV and a mattress installed in it. It can help smoothly transform a living room to a bedroom and vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20240129508
    Abstract: A reference block is determined from a plurality of candidate reference blocks for a current block in a current picture based on template matching (TM) costs of the plurality of candidate reference blocks. The TM costs indicate differences between a template of the current block and respective reference templates of the plurality of candidate reference blocks. Samples of the determined reference block are classified into a plurality of classes of samples. A partitioning pattern of the current block is derived based on the determined reference block from a predetermined plurality of partitioning patterns. The derived partitioning pattern indicates a plurality of partitions of the current block. Each of the plurality of classes of the samples of the determined reference block corresponds to a respective partition of the plurality of partitions of the current block. The current block is reconstructed based on the derived partitioning pattern of the current block.
