The application provides a gas density relay with online self-check function and its check method, including a gas density relay body, a first pressure sensor, a second pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a gas chamber, a pressure regulating mechanism, an online check contact signal sampling unit and an intelligent control unit. The air path of the pressure regulating mechanism is connected to the gas pressure chamber and the second pressure sensor; Pressure rise and fall can be regulated through the pressure regulating mechanism to make the gas density relay body contact action. The contact action is transmitted to the intelligent control unit through the online check contact signal sampling unit. The intelligent control unit detects the action value and/or return value of the contact signal of the gas density relay body according to the density value when the contact acts, and completes the check work without requiring maintainer to go to the site for check. At the same time, because the pressure regulating mechanism is not connected to the SF6 gas path of the gas density relay body or electrical equipment, its sealing requirements are reduced, the reliability of the power grid is improved, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

Systems and methods of increasing power converter efficiency are provided. A power converter includes a boost circuit configured to receive a DC input voltage ranging from a minimum input voltage value to a maximum voltage value, boost the DC input voltage to a predefined nominal voltage value when the DC input voltage has a value between the minimum input voltage value and the predefined nominal voltage value, and maintain the DC input voltage when the DC input voltage has a value that is greater than or equal to the predefined nominal voltage value and less than the maximum input voltage value. The unit also includes a DC-DC converter coupled to an output of the boost circuit, the DC-DC converter configured to convert the boosted DC voltage or the maintained DC voltage to a DC output voltage.

An image decoding apparatus is provided, including a parser and an AC decoder. The parser is provided for parsing a bit stream to acquire a first unit. The first unit includes a DC code and a plurality of AC codes respectively corresponding to a DC coefficient and AC coefficients for a first block of the image. The AC decoder generates a plurality of first AC coefficients for the first block by decoding the plurality of AC codes of the first unit, and determines whether the number of the plurality of first AC coefficients exceeds a predetermined parameter. If so, the AC decoder obtains a second unit of the bit stream corresponding to a second block following the first block by performing an AC bypassing process on the first unit. Each AC code comprises a Huffman code and a VLI code.
