Abstract: A packaging device for an individual pouch-packaged pad-type cosmetic product is proposed. First and second guide rollers gripping a longitudinally cut cosmetic cotton fabric from opposite sides and supply it at a constant speed are connected to each other through a second rotational interlock device to be rotated equally, so that the cosmetic cotton fabric can be supplied constant by a preset length. Among the first and second guide rollers, the second guide roller is fixed but the first guide roller is moved with pressure of a second elastic pressure member, so that the cosmetic cotton fabric can be stably supplied by a predetermined length while variably responding to the thickness thereof. A rotation suction part sucks cut pouches and then is rotated to place and align the pouches in correct positions on a transport conveyor, so that the final produced pouches are aligned to reduce a packaging time.

The moving picture encoding apparatus includes: a mode selector for selecting and outputting a prediction mode; a predictor for predicting pixel values of pixels to be encoded of an input video based on the prediction mode to thereby output a residue signal block; a transform/quantization unit for performing DCT onto the residue signal block and quantizing the transformed residue signal block; and an encoder for adaptively scanning and encoding the quantized residue signal block based on the prediction mode.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for predicting chroma components based on reconstructed luma information. In the disclosed embodiments, to intra-predict the current chroma block, the video decoding device decodes the prediction mode indicator of the current chroma block and checks whether the prediction mode indicator utilizes the Direct Mode_Intra Block Copy mode (DM_IBC mode) for the current chroma block. If the current chroma block utilizes DM_IBC mode, the video decoding device uses the block vector of the previously reconstructed corresponding luma block to generate the prediction block of the current chroma block.
