  • Publication number: 20120293902
    Abstract: An over-current protection circuit for preventing a function module from over-current, the function module obtains power from a power source via an input port. The over-current protection circuit includes a path switch, a current detection circuit, a conductor switch, a first control module, and a second control module. The current detection circuit and the path switch form a loop with the input port and the function module. The current detection circuit detects a value of a current of the loop, and produces a first control signal when detecting the current of the loop is equal to or greater than a predetermined current value. The first control module turns off the conductor switch when receiving the first control signal. The second control module turns off the path switch when the conductor switch is turned off, thereby cutting off the loop.

  • Publication number: 20120236941
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for deriving a motion vector predictor are disclosed. In video coding systems, the spatial and temporal redundancy is exploited using spatial and temporal prediction to reduce the information to be transmitted or stored. Motion vector prediction has been used to further conserve the bitrate associated with motion vector coding. In a conventional coding system, a motion vector predictor (MVP) is selected from the spatial MVPs and temporal MVP. The spatial MVP according to a conventional approach is based on motion vectors (MVs) of neighboring blocking pointing to a target reference picture in a given reference list. Embodiments according to the present invention perform the MVP search among an extended search set including MVs pointing to other reference pictures in the given reference list or the other reference list and MVs pointing to the target reference picture in the given reference list or the other reference list.

The MVP is derived for a current block of a current picture in Inter, or Merge, or Skip mode based on co-located reference blocks of a co-located block and a flag is used to indicate the co-located picture. More than one co-located reference blocks can be used to derive the temporal MVP and the co-located reference blocks can be selected from the co-located block as well as neighboring blocks of the co-located block. A search set comprises search motion vectors associated with the co-located reference block(s) is formed. The search motion vector (MV) corresponding to the co-located reference block in the same reference list is searched before the search MV in a different reference list.
