Abstract: Systems and methods for successively executing an operation over multiple communication networks. In some aspects, the system obtains first access information received from a physical token and generates an operation related to an aggregated virtual container. The system determines a first communication network from the first access information and transmits, via the first communication network, the operation associated with the aggregated virtual container. If the operation was not transmitted successfully via the first communication network, the system obtains second access information received from the physical token, determines a second communication network from the second access information, and transmits, via the second communication network, the operation associated with the aggregated virtual container. If the operation was transmitted successfully via the second communication network, the system generates for display a notification that the operation has been executed.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure includes methods and apparatuses for video decoding and encoding and a method of processing visual media data. The method for video decoding includes receiving coded information in a bitstream indicating that a first intra mode coding method using one of (i) a template-based intra prediction mode derivation (TIMD) and (ii) a decoder-side intra mode derivation (DIMD) is not enabled for a current block. The method for video decoding includes determining at least one template-based intra mode with the first intra mode coding method using the one of the TIMD and the DIMD; and when the at least one template-based intra mode is to be excluded from a second intra mode coding method, determining an intra prediction mode of the current block using the second intra mode coding method excluding the at least one template-based intra mode, and reconstructing the current block using the intra prediction mode.

Abstract: A selectively frictionally engaged hole cover for a bore hole cored from a paved surface that includes a cover plate configured to cover the bore hole and support vehicular traffic. An engagement mechanism is attached to the cover plate and extends down into the bore hole. The engagement mechanism is configured to be actuated by a user torque input that causes an engagement plate selectively shiftable relative to the cover plate to thereby shift an engagement member along a engagement member stop and thus radially outwardly or inwardly, causing the engagement mechanism to selectively engage or disengage the wall of the bore hole. When the engagement member is in frictional contact with the hole, unintentional extraction of the engagement mechanism is prevented. The selectively frictionally engaged hole cover effectively provides a temporary cover for a bore hole in a road, parking lot, or other paved surface.
