  • Patent number: 9883200
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of acquiring neighboring disparity vectors for multi-texture and multi-depth video. The method belongs to the area of 3D-HEVC video coding technology. The method includes changing the standard associated with a disparity vector that is first searched as a final disparity vector. By deleting location which is minimum searched in candidate space and time location of the coding unit next to current coding unit to divide candidate space and time location of the coding unit into groups, the method takes searched disparity vector that is combined based on the proportion of adoption rate as final disparity vector. The method improves coding quality and at the same time maintaining origin fast algorithm efficiency. The embodiments of the present disclosure improve coding quality at least 0.05% and at the same time maintain origin fast algorithm efficiency while the decoding time is decreased to 97.1%.

  • Publication number: 20120192918
    Abstract: A solar cell module is provided that has a plurality of electrically interconnected solar cells, wherein each solar cell comprises a photoelectric conversion body, one or more conductive ribbons, and one or more reflective strips. The electrically conductive ribbons are disposed over a portion of the front surface of the photoelectric conversion body. The reflective strips are disposed over the electrically conductive ribbons. The reflective strips have an average total reflectance of at least about 20% and a ratio of average diffuse reflectance to average total reflectance of at least about 0.2.
