Abstract: An automatic leveling type maintenance platform for a high-temperature gas cooled reactor is provided. A floating plate is automatically leveled by using a leveling liquid. During leveling, only a water driving assembly needs to be controlled to drive a housing to be close to an inner bottom surface of a liquid storage container. A sliding block assembly and a lifting guide mechanism are controlled to be locked and fixed after the floating plate is leveled. The floating plate can allow for automatic and rapid leveling and locking operation. Thus, complex and time-consuming fine adjustment control does not need to be performed. Also, when the platform is used in a spherical top cap of a pressure vessel of the reactor for a maintenance operation, then support legs of a support assembly do not need to have telescopic motion.

Abstract: An encoder implements a residual-free palette encoding mode in which a block of pixels is used to derive a palette table having a number of palette colors less than a number of pixel colors in the block of pixels, and to derive a color map representing each pixel of the block with a corresponding index number associated with a palette color that most closely matches the pixel's color. The calculations of residuals representing errors between the predicted palette colors and the actual pixel colors are omitted during the encoding process, thereby facilitating implementation of less complex palette mode encoder hardware at the expense of slight loss of color accuracy. Moreover, when multiple encoding modes are available, the encoder can employ the residual-free palette encoding mode when the rate-distortion cost or other cost of using this mode is determined to be the lowest cost of the plurality of encoding modes.

Abstract: An encoder encodes an image portion by recursively partitioning the portion into a partitioning hierarchy of levels. The top level has a single block representing the entire portion and each lower level has four smaller blocks representing a corresponding larger block at a higher level. A palette table is generated for each bottom-level block based on the pixels of the associated block. For each successively higher level, the encoder generates a palette table for each current-level block by selecting palette colors based on the palette colors from the four palette tables for the associated four blocks at the next-lowest level. A color index map is then generated based on a final palette table selected from the palette tables generated for the partitioning hierarchy. A representation of the portion is then encoded using the final palette table and the color index map to generate a corresponding segment of an encoded bitstream.

Abstract: An automatic leveling type maintenance platform for a high-temperature gas cooled reactor is provided. A floating plate is automatically leveled by using a leveling liquid, and during leveling, only a water driving assembly needs to be controlled to drive a housing to be close to an inner bottom surface of a liquid storage groove, and a sliding block assembly and a lifting guide mechanism are controlled to be locked and fixed after the floating plate is leveled. In this way, complex and time-consuming fine adjustment control does not need to be performed, and the floating plate can implement automatic and rapid leveling and locking operation, so that a leveling effect is better. When the maintenance platform is used in a spherical top cap of a pressure vessel of the high-temperature gas cooled reactor for maintenance operation, support legs of a support assembly do not need to perform telescopic motion.

The encoder selects a second number of the highest pixel count bins from the second histogram. A third histogram is calculated from the concatenation of bits assigned to the first and second number of bins, and the highest pixel count bins are selected from the third histogram. A palette table is derived based on these highest pixel count bins selected from the third histogram, and the block of pixels is encoded using the palette table.
