The following are the linkedin experience summaries of the three San Diego IDCC employess listed in the patent application. Based on this, and Vid Scale's patent purchases, maybe our technical people can comment (in non technical language, LOL) what they are involved in.

Jie Dong's Experience
Staff Engineer
CTO Office, InterDigital Communications
February 2011 – Present (1 year 7 months)
-- Developed adaptive video pre- and post-processing algorithms, which provide 3dB PSNR gain at low bit-rates and 1 dB gain at high bit-rates compared with H.264/AVC High Profile.
-- Worked with the development team to optimize the pre-/post-processing algorithms and integrated them to mobile devices.
-- InterDigital’s delegate to follow the HEVC activities in JCT-VC.
-- Proposed techniques on transform, weighted prediction, and high level syntax for HEVC.
-- InterDigital 2012 Innovation Award.
