  • Publication number: 20240130523
    Abstract: A utility closet can combine part of the bedroom furniture, such as a table or desk and nightstand, with a wardrobe. The lower part of the closet can be equipped with wheels to facilitate the change of position, while the bottom also has a support frame to hold the closet better on the floor. Both the desk and the nightstand are foldable and can be placed in the closet drawers after folding. At the same time, the hanging rod inside the closet can have a grooved design to prevent the clothes hanging inside the closet from falling when it is transferred, such as when installed in a recreational vehicle or mobile home.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20240110377
    Abstract: A retractable roof construction can be manufactured in a factory and quickly deployed when assembling the house. The retractable roof can be made in parts and assembled into its compact formation whilst in the factory. This compact formation reduces space occupied in shipment, reducing the overall cost. When the compact formation roof is on a construction site, the roof can expand on both sides and be raised in the middle to provide an angle to protect against the rain. The expending process can be automated for reducing labor used in the construction. When compared to traditional roof construction, the retractable roof construction allows fast installation as well as reduced cost, both in shipping and labor.

  • Publication number: 20240102339
    Abstract: A removable window includes a frame on the wall that allows the window to be mounted firmly without any gaps between the frame and the window. The frame on the wall can include a rotating locking mechanism that helps secure the removable modules on the wall and prevents the window to be inadvertently knocked down under any unwanted situations. The window can be fitted on the wall by pushing the removable window module into the frame, and the window module can be locked on the wall. When the window module is removed, several different wall modules can be mounted onto the frame. Such wall modules can not only serve as enclosed walls, but can also provide additional functionalities. This effectively allows users to freely move their windows around the house and switch their windows with other walls to change the overall window layout.

  • Publication number: 20240093548
    Abstract: An apparatus provides for the flexible adjustment of the position of the windows, as well as for the ability to change the light transmission area of a single window, without wasting too much space. The apparatus can transform windows into completely opaque walls, for example, to achieve partial or complete light blockage by moving several wall panels hidden inside the sill up and down to specified positions. A set of push plates inside the sill can be used to displace the wall panels horizontally and a set of lifting plates on the window frame can be used to move the wall panels up and down along a track. At the same time, after selecting the specified position, the corresponding position can have a stick to push the wall panel into the specified position and tighten and fix the wall panel in the desired position.
