Abstract: Techniques are described for using an inter-intra-prediction block. A video coder may generate a first prediction block according to an intra-prediction mode and generate a second prediction block according to an inter-prediction mode. The video coder may weighted combine, such as based on the intra-prediction mode, the two prediction blocks to generate an inter-intra-prediction block (e.g., final prediction block). In some examples, an inter-intra candidate is identified in a list of candidate motion vector predictors, and an inter-intra-prediction block is used based on identification of the inter-intra candidate in the list of candidate motion vector predictors.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for video encoding/decoding. In a method, prediction information for a current block is decoded. The prediction information indicates a first intra prediction mode and a secondary transform index, based on which a secondary transform core is determined. A first transform coefficient block is de-quantized from the prediction information. A size of the first transform coefficient block is less than a size of the secondary transform core. A part of a second transform coefficient block is generated based on the first transform coefficient block and the secondary transform core. A size of the second transform coefficient block equals the size of the secondary transform core. A size of the part of the second transform coefficient equals the size of the first transform coefficient block. The current block is reconstructed based on the part of the second transform coefficient block.

Abstract: A retainer to inhibit movement of dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) that are removably inserted into connectors attached to a printed circuit board (PCB) of a system. Inhibiting movement of the DIMMs, especially taller DIMMs, such as the higher height 2 U and 4 U DIMMs, mitigates the effects of operational vibration causing intermittent electrical discontinuity between DIMM and the PCB. The retainer inhibits movement of DIMMs at the connector component level by constraining all or a portion of top edges of DIMMs inserted into connectors. The retainer is implemented independently of the design of the system-level chassis. The retainer is shaped into any of a bracket or frame from multiple rigid horizontal, vertical and oblique members that permit airflow to the DIMMs and connectors retained therein.

Abstract: A fluorescence image registration method includes obtaining at least one fluorescence image of a biochip. An interior local area is selected. Sums of pixel values in the interior local area along a first direction and a second direction are obtained. A plurality of first template lines is selected to find a minimum total value of the sums of pixel values corresponding to the first template lines. Pixel-level correction is performed on a local area of the track line to obtain pixel-level track cross. Other track crosses on the biochip is obtained, and the pixel-level correction is performed on the other track crosses. The position of the pixel-level track line is corrected by a center-of-gravity method to obtain the subpixel-level position of the track line. The subpixel-level positions of all sites uniformly distributed on the biochip is obtained.

Abstract: Coded information of a current block is received. The current block is partitioned into at least a first partition and a second partition based on a geometric partition mode (GPM). A first prediction mode for the first partition of the current block is determined based on a first number of neighboring reconstructed samples adjacent to the first partition being larger than a threshold value. The threshold value corresponds to availability of at least one intra prediction mode for the GPM. In response to the first number of neighboring reconstructed samples adjacent to the first partition being smaller than the threshold value, a flag indicating whether the current block is intra coded or inter coded is determined not to be included in the coded information. The first prediction mode is inferred as inter prediction mode. The first partition of the current block is reconstructed based on the first prediction mode.
