  • Publication number: 20240357131
    Abstract: Techniques are described for using an inter-intra-prediction block. A video coder may generate a first prediction block according to an intra-prediction mode and generate a second prediction block according to an inter-prediction mode. The video coder may weighted combine, such as based on the intra-prediction mode, the two prediction blocks to generate an inter-intra-prediction block (e.g., final prediction block). In some examples, an inter-intra candidate is identified in a list of candidate motion vector predictors, and an inter-intra-prediction block is used based on identification of the inter-intra candidate in the list of candidate motion vector predictors.

  • Patent number: 12116470
    Abstract: A composite polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) preservative film, a preparation method and an application thereof are provided. The film includes PVA of 9-12 parts, modified silicon dioxide nanoparticles of 2-5 parts, antimicrobial of 0.3-2 parts and deionized water of 100 parts. Fruits and vegetables sensitive to sunlight have lower requirements for illumination while preserving. With PVA as matrix and silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles as modified materials, composite PVA is obtained by controlling a particle size of SiO2 and modifying its surface. The composite PVA preservative film takes advantages of different refractive indexes between PVA and SiO2 and controlling the particle size of SiO2, thereby having a low luminous transmittance. The preservative film has an effect of light-proof on fruits and vegetables suitable for light-proof storage, and improves its gas transmission and water resistance because of adding SiO2, thereby facilitating packaging preservation of the fruits and vegetables.
