  • Publication number: 20220286697
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include receiving video data to be encoded, determining pixels for a first transform unit (TU) of a first prediction unit (PU) of a square shape of the video data, storing the pixels in a buffer, performing intra-prediction for a second PU by reusing the stored pixels for a second TU of the second PU, and encoding the video data based on the intra-prediction. A system may include a video encoder and/or a tape holder apparatus. The tape holder apparatus may include a cubical tape holder to hold multiple tape cartridges in a stack, wherein a tape cartridge may be inserted into a top of the cubical tape holder. The tape holder apparatus may include a handle and a horizontal slot enabling a single tape cartridge to be pushed out from a bottom of the stack. Various other methods, systems, and apparatuses are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220101757
    Abstract: A label laminate comprising a filmic or a paper substrate, said substrate having a first surface and a second surface; a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) layer, said PSA layer being tacky and having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the PSA being in contact with the second surface of the substrate; and a detack layer on top of the second surface of the PSA layer, said detack layer having a melting point above about 50 C, wherein the detack layer has a surface coverage of less than 100% of the second surface of the PSA layer.

  • Patent number: 11267600
    Abstract: A tape closure system is shown and described herein. The tape closure system includes a first tape component having a pressure sensitive adhesive and a second tape component having a pressure sensitive adhesive, where at least one of the pressure sensitive adhesives has a modified surface to reduce the tack of the surface such that when the first and second pressure adhesives are brought into contact with one another they may sufficiently adhere to one another to form a seal but are still separable from one another and able to be repeatedly opened and sealed. Such a tape may be manufactured through high speed manufacturing processes and wound into large master rolls. In the roll configuration, the modified surface contacts the backside of the liner and experiences compressive forces in the roll. Due to the compressive forces, a part of the modified surface may get pushed into the PSA, thereby affecting the properties of the modified adhesive.
