Abstract:
A method of decoding a image according to an embodiment of the present invention, which supports a plurality of layers, may comprise the steps of: receiving information on a reference layer used to decode a current picture for inter-layer prediction; inducing the number of valid reference layer pictures used to decode the current picture on the basis of the information on the reference layer; and performing inter-layer prediction on the basis of the number of valid reference layer pictures.
Abstract:
A photonic frame switching system may include a main controller and at least one photonic frame wrapper line card. The main controller may determine a point in time at which a photonic frame wrapper line card transmits a photonic frame by allocating a time slot to the photonic frame wrapper line card. When the photonic frame switching system includes a plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards, points in times at which the plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards transmits the photonic frames may be synchronized. In particular, when a portion of the plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards transmit a plurality of photonic frames having different destinations, points in times at to which all of the plurality of photonic frame wrapper line cards transmits the photonic frames may be adjusted based on a latency by a destination change.

The encoding device is capable of generating a prediction block of a current block according to one of methods for generating a plurality of predetermined prediction blocks, and outputting at least one of encoding information and differential blocks as bitstream by entropy encoding according to whether differential blocks are encoded or not.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for optimally allocating resources of a provider according to a contribution margin ratio of a resource consumer in a distributed energy resource environment are described. An embodiment is a method for distributing energy resources in a distributed energy resource system. The method may include receiving information about the amount of available energy resources from each of one or more providers, receiving information about the amount of required energy resources from each of one or more consumers, assessing a contribution margin ratio for each of the one or more consumers, calculating an energy resource allocation amount for each of the one or more consumers based on the assessed contribution margin ratio, and distributing energy resources to each of the one or more consumers based on the calculated energy resource allocation amount.
Abstract:
Provided is a cell capturing cartridge. According to an embodiment of the inventive concept, the cell capturing cartridge may include a substrate and structures provided on an upper surface of the substrate and constituting a plurality of rows that are parallel to a row direction. The structures in one row may be offset from the structures in the neighboring rows in the row direction. Each of the substrates may have a first side surface facing one side of the substrate and a second side surface disposed opposite to the first side surface and having a width greater than that of the first side surface.
Abstract:
A route guidance method and system using smart signages is disclosed. The route guidance method may include obtaining user information of a user or an object from a first smart signage detecting an access of the user, searching a database for route information about a route to a stored destination corresponding to the user information, identifying a second smart signage being separate from the first smart signage by a distance in a direction of the destination among a plurality of smart signages being on the route of the route information, and extracting, from the route information, a partial route from the first smart signage to the second smart signage and providing the extracted partial route to the first smart signage.
Abstract:
Provided is a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag having a plurality of antennas. The RFID tag includes: a plurality of antennas each configured to backscatter received Radio Frequency (RF) signals; a digital and memory circuitry, which once the RF signals are received through the plurality of antennas, is configured to generate a series of programmed encoding signals based on identification information to be transmitted, and to output the generated signals; and a modulator configured to vary power of an uplink signal backscattered through the plurality of antennas based on the encoding signals input from the digital and memory circuitry, in which the modulator operates such that the power of the uplink signal backscattered through each of the plurality of antennas is equal regardless of types of the encoding signals.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a network management apparatus for priority channel assignment to acquire available channels in a frequency sharing band, including: a signal intensity measurer measuring a received signal intensity for an input signal; and a controller verifying usable candidate channels in the same channel and an adjacent channel of a TV band device (TVBD) for each predetermined frequency based on the measured received signal intensity, verifying available channels of the TVBD based on the verified usable candidate channels in the same channel and the adjacent channel, calculating the decreased number of available channels of the TVBD predicted for each channel after channel reassignment, and assigning channels to be reassigned based on the calculated decreased number of available channels of the TVBD.
Abstract:
Provided herein are a reflective lens capable of changing a focal length and an optical system using the same. An active reflective lens according to an embodiment includes: a lens unit including material that is deformable in response to an electric signal; a support unit configured to support the lens unit; a base unit formed below the support unit; a first electrode formed on the lens unit; and a second electrode formed on the base unit. The distance between the first electrode and the second electrode is determined depending on a shape of an upper surface of the base unit, and the distance between the first electrode and the second electrode varies depending on regions of the lens unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for video decoding that support a plurality of layers. The method for video decoding includes acquiring information indicating whether tile information exists and acquiring the tile information based on the information indicating whether tile information exists.
