Abstract: The present invention relates to a video signal decoding method for adding an intra prediction mode as a sub-macroblock type to prediction of a macroblock in coding a video signal. Some implementations may include obtaining a macroblock type, when a macroblock includes the intra prediction coded sub-macroblock and the inter prediction coded sub-macroblock based on the macroblock type, obtaining prediction mode flag information indicating whether the sub-macroblock is the intra prediction coded or the inter prediction coded, and obtaining a prediction value of the sub-macroblock. Accordingly, implementations disclosed herein may raise coding efficiency of video signal by adding an intra prediction mode as a sub-macroblock type in predicting a macroblock.

Abstract: The present invention provides a thin film coated on a cutting tool surface made of cemented carbides, cermets or ceramics. According to the present invention, an ?-Al2O3thin film is deposited on a TiAlvBwCxNyOz (v+w+x+y+z=1, v, w, x, y, z?0) thin film in a thickness of 2-15 ?m, so that the ratio of TC (104) (denoting the texture coefficient of the (104) crystal plane of the polycrystalline ?-Al2O3 thin film) to TC (012) (denoting the texture coefficient of the (012) crystal) is more than 1.3. Cutting tools coated with such a thin film have improved wear resistance and adhesion.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a housing, and a camera lens. The housing has a hole, and a camera lens is accommodated within the housing and exposed through the hole. The device includes a slidable panel and a retractable panel. The slidable panel is slidable relative to the housing between a covering position and a uncovering position. The camera lens is covered by the slidable panel when the slidable panel is at the covering position. The camera lens is uncovered when the slidable panel is at uncovering position. The retractable panel is movable relative to the housing between a retracted position and an unretracted position. The device further includes a mechanism configured to move the retractable panel from the unretracted position to the retracted position as the slidable panel slides from the covering position to the uncovering position.
