    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for deriving constructed affine merge candidates. The method includes acquiring one or more control point sets from a decoder. The decoder determines whether a reference index of each control point for the control point set index within the control point set associated with a reference index pointing into a reference picture in a first reference picture list is greater than or equal to zero and each is equal to each other. The decoder also determines whether a reference index of each control point for the control point set index within the control point set associated with a reference index pointing into a reference picture in a second reference picture list is greater than or equal to zero and each is equal to each other. The decoder determines that an affine motion model is available based on the determination result.

  • Publication number: 20230349487
    Abstract: A buffer valve is installed on a pneumatic diaphragm valve. An inner flow channel of the buffer valve includes an inner micro gas hole, an inner chamber, an outer gas hole, and a floating ball. The buffer valve has functions with a high-filling action, a shielding action, a releasing action, a shielding time ?t, and an adjusting mechanism. When inflatable, the floating ball will not block the inner micro hole to be quickly filled with high-pressure gas. when gas discharge, the floating ball will move to the outer gas hole with the gas flow and produce the shielding action to reduce the discharge rate to reduce the vibration and slow down the approach speed of the diaphragm to reduce the impact against the valve seat. When the pressure of the gas decreases, the floating ball is separated from the outer gas hole by the releasing action to accelerate the discharge.
