  • Publication number: 20250260845
    Abstract: A method of encoding video data by a device is provided. Transform coefficient values associated with a chroma coding block are received. The chroma coding block is one of chroma coding blocks resulting from partitioning a chroma coding tree block and misaligned with a luma coding tree block corresponding to the chroma coding tree block and partitioned into luma coding blocks which are organized into quantization groups such that luma quantization parameters are determined for the luma coding tree block. One of the luma quantization parameters that is mapped to the chroma coding block is identified. A predictive quantization parameter is derived by using a value derived from the identified luma quantization parameter. A chroma quantization parameter is determined by adding a delta quantization parameter associated with each of the chroma coding blocks to the predictive quantization parameter. Level values are generated based on the determined chroma quantization parameter.

  • Patent number: 12357086
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an exercise bicycle with a desk plate, which comprises a frame, a supporting foot, a seat and a desk plate, the frame including a first upright column to support the desk plate and a second upright column to support the seat, wherein a first lifting assembly is provided on the first upright column to connect the desk plate and the first upright column, and enables the adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the desk plate relative to the first upright column. The height of the desk plate can be adjusted by the first lifting assembly to accommodate users with different figures. It's more ergonomic since the height of the upright column supporting the desk plate can be adjusted. When packing, lower the upright column to the minimum can largely reduce the size of the package.
