  • Patent number: 11979588
    Abstract: Methods and systems for frame rate scalability are described. Support is provided for input and output video sequences with variable frame rate and variable shutter angle across scenes, or for input video sequences with fixed input frame rate and input shutter angle, but allowing a decoder to generate a video output at a different output frame rate and shutter angle than the corresponding input values. Techniques allowing a decoder to decode more computationally-efficiently a specific backward compatible target frame rate and shutter angle among those allowed are also presented.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 13, 2023
    Date of Patent: May 7, 2024

  • Patent number: 11124243
    Abstract: A cross-car beam structure for a vehicle comprises a cross-car beam and a first pencil brace. The cross-car beam comprises a first attachment point, and the first pencil brace comprises a first end and a second end. The first end of the first pencil brace is configured to removably attach to the cross-car beam at the first attachment point. The second end of the first pencil brace is configured to attach to either a second pencil brace or to another automotive component within the vehicle.
