Abstract: Innovations in adaptive encoding of screen content based on motion type are described. For example, a video encoder system receives a current picture of a video sequence. The video encoder system determines a current motion type for the video sequence and, based at least in part on the current motion type, sets one or more encoding parameters. Then, the video encoder system encodes the current picture according to the encoding parameter(s). The innovations can be used in real-time encoding scenarios when encoding screen content for a screen sharing application, desktop conferencing application, or other application. In some cases, the innovations allow a video encoder system to adapt compression to different characteristics of screen content at different times within the same video sequence.

Abstract: A complex sheet structure includes a base plate, a microstructure layer, and a shielding layer. The microstructure layer is formed on the base plate and has a first side and an opposite second side. The microstructure layer has a plurality of prismatic structures, and the base plate touches the first side of the microstructure layer. The shielding layer covers the second side of the microstructure layer and contains a low light-transmittance material.

Abstract: A rotary valve for metering the flow of particulate material from a supply source into the air stream of a pneumatic conveying system includes a central rotor manufactured through a precision casting process. The rotor is formed with a plurality of radially extending vanes terminating in tips that are flared circumferentially into the leading side of the vane to provide a flared vane tip that is preferably at least twice the thickness of the vane itself. The valve housing is formed with an elongated release port that has an overall length approximately equal to the length of the pockets formed between adjacent vanes to provide a more complete release of pressurized air from the pocket after the particulate material has been dropped into the pneumatic conveying system. The angled leading edge of the flared tips provides a less aggressive engagement with the particulate material to reduce damage thereto.

Abstract: A back light module including a frame, a light-guide plate and a light source is provided. The frame has a opening and a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The opening is extended from the first surface to the second surface of the frame, so that an inner surface of the opening is connected to the first surface and the second surface. At least a portion of the inner surface is slanted toward the inner of the opening. The light-guide plate is integrated with the frame and at least a portion of the opening is filled with the light-guide plate. The light-guide plate is tightly attached to the inner surface of the frame. The light source is adjacent to the light-guide plate.

Abstract: A backlight module and a supporting device thereof are provided. The supporting device includes a first housing having an engaging part, a second housing having an opening for receiving the lamp, and an elastic mechanism disposed in the seconding housing. The first housing and the second housing are foldably connected. When the first housing and the second housing are folded, the engaging part compresses the elastic mechanism to electrically clamp the lamp.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a foolproof interlock apparatus, adapted to enable a first device to interlock with a second device, which comprises: at least a hook, composed of an extending part and a engaging part; and at least a lip having a recess; wherein, the engaging part is disposed at a free end of the extending part while an end of the extending part is fitted to the first device; and the recess of the lip fitted to the second device is used to receive the engaging part for enabling the recess and the engaging part to abut against each other and thus maintain a specific engagement. Therefore, by adjusting the engagement between the hook and the lip, the tightness of the engagement between the first and the second device can be controlled.
