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: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems, methods, and computer readable media for dynamic data transfer rate control. One method includes alternating a network device between a plurality of supported data transfer rates that are supported by the network device to achieve an unsupported data transfer rate that is not supported by the network device. Another method includes adding one or more dummy work descriptors to a data stream, and transmitting the data stream including the one or more dummy work descriptors at a supported data transfer rate that is supported by a network device to achieve an effective unsupported data transfer rate that is not supported by the network device.
