  • Patent number: 10445298
    Abstract: Systems and methods of enabling a service level agreement to specify interactions between an application and a remotely located object store that manages data as objects. A computing device receives data associated with a request to write application data to an object store according to a schedule, wherein the data is file system data. The computing device creates a snapshot associated with the requested application at a snapshot pool, and transmits instructions to a cloud formatting engine to create a virtual disk at a storage pool associated with an object store. The computing device copies the snapshot from the snapshot pool to the virtual disk, the snapshot comprising file system data and transmits instructions to the cloud formatting engine to convert the data associated with the first snapshot into an object, and move the object from the virtual disk to the object store.

  • Patent number: 10439524
    Abstract: A motor driving circuit includes a Hall sensor, an offset detecting circuit, a driving circuit and a back EMF zero point detector. The Hall sensor generates a Hall signal group, the offset detecting circuit detects the first phase changing point of the Hall signal group, and the driving circuit generates the initial phase changing signal in the pre-operation mode according to the Hall signal group. In the correction mode, the driving circuit stops outputting the initial phase changing signal, the back EMF zero detector detects the back EMF zero point, and outputs the back EMF zero point signal. The offset detecting circuit detects a phase difference between the first phase changing point and back EMF zero point, and determines a difference value between the phase difference and a predetermined phase difference. Then, the phase of the Hall signal group is adjusted according to the difference value.

  • Publication number: 20190281977
    Abstract: A support device adapted to support an electronic device is provided. The electronic device has a display surface. The support device includes a base, a support frame, and at least one torque fixing assembly. The base includes a first arc surface portion. The support frame includes a second arc surface portion opposite to the first arc surface portion and an axis. The support frame rotates along the axis such that the second arc surface portion slides relative to the first arc surface portion and the electronic device switches between a first use state and a second use state. The torque fixing assembly is disposed at the first arc surface portion and the second arc surface portion. When the second arc surface portion slides relative to the first arc surface portion, the second arc surface portion rubs against the torque fixing assembly and torque is generated.

    Abstract: A palette decoding apparatus includes a palette color storage device which stores palette colors, a color index storage device which stores color indices of pixels, and a palette value processing circuit which generates a palette value for each pixel by reading data from the color index storage device and the palette color storage device. A frame is divided into first coding units, and each first coding unit is sub-divided into one or more second coding units. Before a palette value of a last pixel in a first coding unit is generated by the palette value processing circuit, a palette value of a non-last pixel in the first coding unit is generated by the palette value processing circuit and used by a reconstruction circuit of the video decoder.

  • Patent number: 10411840
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to enhance HARQ mechanism. In one novel aspect, the UE decodes resource blocks in a HARQ indicator channel and detects a single-state HARQ indicator encoded with a UE ID of the UE. The UE determines a HARQ acknowledgment status for the data transmission based on the HARQ indicator. In one embodiment, the HARQ indicator channel is either a UE-specific channel, a group-specific channel or a cell-specific channel. In another novel aspect, the UE increases a HARQ count upon decoding the HARQ indicator channel. The UE retransmits the data transmission if the HARQ count is smaller than a predefined maximum HARQ count and the HARQ acknowledgement status is determined to be negative. Otherwise, the UE stops the data transmission. In another embodiment, the UE terminates the data transmission is the total repetition number is greater than a predefined maximum data transmission number.
