Publication number: 20170150896Abstract: Epidermal electronics are sensors with mechanical properties matching human epidermis. Their manufacturing process includes photolithography and dry and wet etching within cleanroom facilities. The high cost of manpower, materials, photo masks, and facilities greatly hinders the commercialization potential of disposable epidermal electronics. In contrast, an embodiment of the invention includes a low cost, high throughput, bench top “cut-and-paste” method to complete the freeform manufacture of epidermal sensor system (ESS) in minutes. This versatile method works for many types of thin metal and polymeric sheets and is compatible with many tattoo adhesives or medical tapes. The resultant ESS is highly multimaterial and multifunctional and may measure ECG, EMG, skin temperature, skin hydration, as well as respiratory rate. Also, a stretchable planar coil made of serpentine ribbons can be used as a wireless strain gauge and/or a near field communication (NFC) antenna. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2015Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventors: Nanshu Lu, Shixuan Yang, Pulin Wang

Publication number: 20160044329Abstract: An image predictive coding method and an encoder. During a process of encoding a largest coding unit (LCU) in a tile of a current frame, a tile of the current frame is determined first, in which the to-be-predictive-coded LCU or a predicting unit (PU) is located, then, a tile of a reference frame is determined, where a position of the tile of the reference frame is the same as a position of the tile of the current frame, when a PU of the LCU is predicted, a reference pixel is selected from the determined tile of the reference frame, and when a predicted moving vector (PMV) of the PU included in the LCU is determined, the PMV of the PU is selected from the determined tile of the reference frame, which can prevent an error occurring in a tile from spreading to an entire frame of image.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2015Publication date: February 11, 2016Inventors: Pulin Wang, Junhua Li
