Abstract: The present invention discloses a fully bio-based, highly filled lignin-rubber masterbatch, a method for preparing same, and use thereof. The lignin-rubber masterbatch is prepared by a method comprising: (1) reacting a lignin, acetic acid, and oleic acid in the presence of a catalyst to give a modified lignin; and (2) blending the modified lignin and a rubber, and granulating to give the lignin-rubber masterbatch. The highly filled lignin-rubber masterbatch prepared by the present invention can replace the conventional reinforcing agent carbon black and provide a better reinforcing effect and higher mechanical properties for rubber materials. The present invention can also reduce the rubber content of the rubber composite materials while retaining the mechanical properties, thus featuring cost-efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for sealing a bore of a fitting using a plug. The method can involve inserting the plug into the bore of the fitting, where the fitting comprises a fitting recess and the plug comprises a plug recess. A locking mechanism can be employed by translating a locking bar to engage with both the fitting recess and/or the plug recess, thereby securing the plug within the bore. The method can provide an efficient and reliable way to seal the bore of a fitting, and may ensure a tight and secure fit between the plug and the fitting for various applications.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system comprising a fitting with a bore and a fitting recess. A plug comprising a body can be positioned within the bore, defining a plug recess. A locking mechanism can comprise a locking bar. The locking bar can engage both the fitting recess and/or the plug recess in a locked configuration, and only one of the recesses in an unlocked configuration. The locking bar can translate relative to the body to switch between the locked and unlocked configurations. The system provides a secure and efficient locking mechanism for connecting the fitting and plug components and can permit reconfiguration between the locked and unlocked configurations.

Abstract: A method of video coding, executable by a processor, includes receiving video data having a coding tree unit size, determining whether the coding tree unit size is greater than a predetermined threshold, and in response to the coding tree unit size being greater than the predetermined threshold, signaling, in a sequence parameter set (SPS), a first flag indicating whether a maximum transform size in luma samples is equal to 64. The first flag being equal to 1 specifies that the maximum transform size in luma samples is equal to 64, the first flag equal to 0 specifies that the maximum transform size in luma samples is equal to 32, and when not present, the first flag is inferred to be equal to 0.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a method and an apparatus including processing circuitry for video decoding. The processing circuitry can decode coded information of a coding block in a picture of a coded video sequence. The coded information indicates a clipping index m. The clipping index m indicates a clipping value for a filter that is applied to the coding block. The processing circuitry can determine the clipping value associated with the clipping index m. The clipping value can be dependent on a bit depth B and the clipping index m. The clipping value for each value of the clipping index m can be independent from N. N is a total number of allowed clipping values that include the clipping value. The processing circuitry generates a filtered coding block by applying the filter corresponding to the clipping value to the coding block.

Abstract: An “outboard pontoon” semisubmersible floating platform for the use of offshore applications has a hull configuration including vertical deck support columns and a horizontally disposed pontoon structure. The vertical columns support the deck structure at upper ends and adjoin pontoon at their lower ends. Under the premise of ensuring platform stability, structural feasibility, and structural cost efficiency, the pontoon is horizontally extrapolated as far as possible radially outward from platform center in the horizontal plan while the elevation of the bottom of columns ranges anywhere from the pontoon bottom to the top surface of the pontoon. The vertical columns are adjoined to the pontoon from its inner periphery and the central vertical axis of each column resides a distance inward from the closest point of the center line of the pontoon. This arrangement makes part of pontoon become the “outboard pontoon” which is the important concept introduced by this invention.
