  • Patent number: 11425716
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a resource scheduling method, which can support reduction of transmission resource overheads in resource scheduling. The method is applied to a wireless local area network, where a next generation protocol followed by the wireless local area network predefines locations of resource units possibly allocated from a to-be-assigned frequency domain resource. The method includes: generating, by a sending end, resource scheduling information, where the resource scheduling information includes a bit sequence to indicate an actual allocation of a resource unit(s) from the to-be-assigned frequency domain resource, and at least some bits in the bit sequence are to indicate whether one or more of said resource unit locations possibly allocated for the to-be-assigned frequency domain resource is\are the actually allocated resource unit(s).

  • Patent number: 11425379
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of video coding are disclosed. A piece-wise linear mapping is derived to map a target luma sample from a first signal domain to a second signal domain, or vice versa. The piece-wise linear mapping process comprises determining first pivot points for performing video encoding or decoding of the luma samples using a piece-wise linear mapping. The first pivot points are determined so that: if a target mapped pivot point corresponding to one first pivot point in the second signal domain has a multiple of the target interval value, the target mapped pivot point and a next mapped pivot point can be located in a same second segment; and otherwise, the target mapped pivot point and the next mapped pivot point cannot be located in the same second segment.

  • Patent number: 11419627
    Abstract: The invention discloses a novel vascular punch employing compressive normal force for tissue separation from a targeted vessel. This invention is particularly designed for making a large round hole without massive bleeding in vascular surgery.
