Abstract: A LIDAR system has a laser emission unit configured to generate a plurality of laser beams. The LIDAR system also has an optical system configured to transmit the plurality of laser beams from the laser emission unit to a common scanning unit. The common scanning unit is configured to project the plurality of laser beams toward a field of view of the LIDAR system to simultaneously scan the field of view along a plurality of scan lines traversing the field of view.

Abstract: A customizable cladding system is provided. The customizable cladding system includes one or more base plates designed to be attached to a support structure (e.g., a fence post, wall, etc.). The base plates include attachment mechanisms extending outward from their front surfaces. Cladding plates, including corresponding attachment mechanisms on their back sides, are then removable coupled to the base plates to form a customizable cladding. The structure of the customizable cladding may be modified at any time by removing the cladding plates and reconfiguring them with the base plates as desired.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprising obtaining a stream comprising first network abstraction layer (NAL) units generated in a first encoding, the first NAL units including first slices, obtaining second NAL units generated in a second encoding, the second NAL including second slice(s), and stitching the second NAL units into the stream, the stitching including positioning the second slice(s) in respective position(s) in the stream formerly occupied by temporary slice(s) generated in the first encoding, and for the second slice(s) conforming at least one slice header syntax element and at least one network abstraction layer unit syntax element of a second slice to values of a temporary slice formerly occupying the position of the second slice, and retaining at least one other slice header syntax element of the second slice as encoded in the second encoding.
