  • Publication number: 20220131489
    Abstract: A brushless DC motor system control method provided is based on a hybrid energy storage unit. The HESU topology is designed, and the output of the designed HESU is connected to the input of three-phase inverter, and the output of three-phase inverter is connected with the three-phase windings of the BLDCM. In braking operation, two kinds of braking vectors are constructed according to the HESU and three-phase inverter. Moreover, through the combined action of the two vectors, the braking torque control is achieved and meanwhile the braking energy is fed back to the supercapacitor. In electric operation, four kinds of electric vectors are constructed according to the HESU and three-phase inverter. Moreover, the power sharing control between battery and supercapacitor is realized by different vectors action during motor acceleration mode, and the torque ripple in commutation period is suppressed by different vectors action during motor constant speed mode.

  • Publication number: 20220132124
    Abstract: In a method of video decoding at a video decoder, a first high level syntax (HLS) element and a second HLS element can be received. The first HLS element can indicate whether an explicit multiple transform selection (MTS) is enabled or disabled for an intra coded block. The second HLS element can indicate whether the explicit MTS is enabled or disabled for an inter coded block. The first and second HLS elements can control a same set of coding blocks that include the intra coded block and the inter coded block. An implicit MTS can be enabled for the intra coded block when the first HLS element indicates the explicit MTS is disabled for the intra coded block, and the second HLS element indicates the explicit MTS is enabled for the inter coded block.

  • Publication number: 20220129076
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more tactile output generators displays, on the display, a respective user interface element within a user interface region. The device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface for moving the respective user interface element by a respective amount. In response, in accordance with a determination that moving the respective user interface element by the respective amount would cause the respective user interface element to move beyond a predefined limit, the device generates a respective tactile output via the tactile output generators and moves the respective user interface element by the respective amount and beyond the predefined limit. In response to detecting liftoff of a contact used to perform the gesture, the device at least partially reverses the movement of the respective user interface element, such that the respective user interface element is moved to the predefined limit.

  • Publication number: 20220132163
    Abstract: Innovations in the use of base color index map (“BCIM”) mode dining encoding and/or decoding simplify implementation by reducing the number of modifications made to support BCIM mode and/or improve coding efficiency of BCIM mode. For example, some of the innovations involve reuse of a syntax structure that is adapted for transform coefficients to instead signal data for elements of an index map in BCIM mode. Other innovations relate to mapping of index values in BCIM mode or prediction of elements of an index map in BCIM Triode. Still other innovations relate to handling of exception values in BCIM mode.
