  • Publication number: 20250039099
    Abstract: A server transmits an encoded game frame over a network to a respective client system as a set of packets. In response to transmitting the set of packets, the server determines a bandwidth estimate based on the size of the encoded game frame and the timing data associated with the transmitted set of packets. The server then compares the bandwidth estimate to a current video bitrate of the game stream being transmitted from the server to the respective client device. In response to the comparison indicating an underutilization of the network, the server increases the encoding bitrate. Further, in response to the comparison indication an overutilization of the network, the server decreases the encoding bitrate.

  • Publication number: 20250023197
    Abstract: A separator includes a porous substrate and a porous coating disposed on at least one surface of the porous substrate, the porous coating includes a polymer, and the polymer includes polymer particles. In a 130 ?m×100 ?m region on a surface of the porous coating, the number of the polymer particles with a maximum diameter in a range of 5 ?m to 14 ?m is 100 to 180. The separator has large-particle size polymer that can increase the interface gap at the corners of the electrochemical device. Thus, for the electrochemical device, the electrolyte at the corner interfaces can achieve good infiltration during the charge-discharge cycling process, effectively alleviating the corner purple/black spot problem of the electrochemical device.
