Abstract: A brake controller is provided as an inline plug between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle or trailer. The electronics including an accelerometer and wireless communication radio are potted within a brake controller housing package. There is no conventional display or input controls on the exterior of the brake controller package. Input settings, and possibly output messages, are communicated through a smartphone or similar software or hardware application. The brake controller can identify a hazard lighting condition and avoid braking the towed vehicle during the hazard lighting condition, and can also distinguish when braking during signaling a turn, using the turn signals of the towing vehicle.

Abstract: Concepts are described, including encoding, processing and decoding of a data stream having a video encoded thereinto, wherein the video comprises a plurality of pictures, wherein the data stream comprises a plurality of pictures in at least two layers, wherein the pictures of at least one layer are split into a predetermined layer-specific number of subpictures, one or more of the pictures or subpictures of one layer corresponds to one picture or subpictures in one or more other layer, and at least one of the subpictures comprises boundaries for boundary extension for motion compensation, and an indication that at least one of the boundaries of corresponding subpictures or corresponding pictures in different layers are aligned with each other.

Abstract: Video codec concepts which allows more effective video composition/merging and/or a more effective implementation of gradual decoding refresh are described along with concepts of allowing video composition/merging being more effective, for instance, in terms of complexity of the composition/merging task.

Abstract: Interpolation between explicitly signaled CPB (or HRD) parameters at selected bit rates is used to achieve a good compromise between CPB parameter transmission capacity and CPB parametrization effectiveness and may be, particularly, made in an effective manner.

Abstract: An interleaved multi-layered video data stream with interleaved decoding units of different layers is provided with further timing control information in addition to the timing control information reflecting the interleaved decoding unit arrangement. The additional timing control information pertains to either a fallback position according to which all decoding units of an access unit are treated at the decoded buffer access unit-wise, or a fallback position according to which an intermediate procedure is used: the interleaving of the DUs of different layers is reversed according to the additionally sent timing control information, thereby enabling a DU-wise treatment at the decoder's buffer, however, with no interleaving of decoding units relating to different layers. Both fallback positions may be present concurrently. Various advantageous embodiments and alternatives are the subject of the various claims attached herewith.

Abstract: An apparatus for video decoding according to an embodiment is provided. The apparatus is configured to receive a video data stream having pictures of a video encoded thereinto. The video data stream comprises a plurality of access units, a plurality of SEI (supplemental enhancement information) messages and processing order information which defines a processing order of the plurality of SEI messages. The apparatus is configured to determine the processing order information to obtain information on the processing order of the plurality of SEI messages. The processing order information comprises information on an identifier for each SEI message of two or more SEI messages of the plurality of SEI messages, wherein the identifier of each SEI message of the two or more SEI messages is unique among the two or more SEI messages.

Abstract: The signalization of the inter-layer dependencies between layers of a multi-layered data stream is described. A good compromise between a too intensive restriction of the potential diversity of inter-layer dependencies on the one hand and a too complex signaling of the inter-layer dependencies on the other hand has been found by describing the inter-layer dependencies by way of a first inter-dependency syntax structure indicating inter-dependencies between pairs of different values representable by a base layer-ID and a second inter-dependency syntax structure indicating inter-dependencies between pairs of different values representable by an extension layer-ID, the base layer ID and extension layer ID indexing the layers the portions of the multi-layer data stream are associated with.

Abstract: A system suitable for collecting and transporting urine away from the body of a person or animal may include an assembly having a fluid impermeable casing having a fluid reservoir at a first end, a fluid outlet at a second end, and a longitudinally extending fluid impermeable layer coupled to the fluid reservoir and the fluid outlet and defining a longitudinally elongated opening between the reservoir and the outlet. The assembly can further include a fluid permeable support disposed within the casing with a portion extending across the elongated opening, and a fluid permeable membrane disposed on the support and covering at least the portion of the support that extends across the elongated opening, so that the membrane is supported on the support and disposed across the elongated opening. The assembly can further include a tube having a first end disposed in the reservoir and a second, fluid discharge end.

Abstract: A video data stream having a video encoded thereinto and is described. It includes first timing information on first coded picture buffer, CPB, removal times to be applied at decoder side in case of buffering a complete version of the video data stream, and second timing information on second CPB removal times to be applied at decoder side for buffering a reduced version of the video data stream, differing from the video data stream by removal of a portion of the video data stream from the complete version of the video data stream.
