  • Publication number: 20240146176
    Abstract: A method of controlling phase shift pulse width modulation of a power converter, the method includes a step of obtaining sampling signals of an output voltage and current of the power converter. Then, a digital signal processor is used to calculate an output power of the power converter. Next, a comparator is used to compare the output power of the power converter with a reference power. When the output power is less than the reference power, the modulation control of the switch of the power converter enters into hard-switching mode, and when the output power is greater than the reference power, the modulation control of the switch of the power converter enters into soft-switching mode.

  • Patent number: 11973958
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of video coding using sub-block based affine mode are disclosed. According to this method, control-point motion vectors (MVs) associated with the affine mode are determined for a block. A sub-block MV is derived for a target sub-block of the block from the control-point MVs for the block. A prediction offset is determined for a target pixel of the target sub-block using information comprising a pixel MV offset from the sub-block MV for the target pixel according to Prediction Refinement with Optical Flow (PROF). The target pixel of the target sub-block is encoded or decoded using a modified predictor. The modified prediction is generated by clipping the prediction offset to a target range and combining the clipped prediction offset with an original predictor.
