Abstract: A modular LIDAR system may be formed of multiple LIDAR components. Each LIDAR component may include a laser emitter and a laser detector configured in a frame. Multiple LIDAR components may be arranged on a rotatable swivel housing. The rotatable housing may rotate about a first axis that is perpendicular to a plane defined by a mounting base. The multiple LIDAR components may be aimed outward from the swivel housing at different directions, which may range up to 90 degrees or up to 180 degrees in separation in some embodiments. When the rotatable housing is rotated completely around the first axis, the multiple LIDAR components may scan a first field of view of 360 degrees around the first axis and may scan a second field of view of substantially 180 degrees about a second axis. The modular LIDAR system may be implemented with an aircraft for navigational purposes.

Abstract: This disclosure describes an unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) and system that may perform one or more techniques for protecting objects from damage resulting from an unintended or uncontrolled impact by a UAV. As described herein, various implementations utilize a damage avoidance system that detects a risk of damage to an object caused by an impact from a UAV that has lost control and takes steps to reduce or eliminate that risk. For example, the damage avoidance system may detect that the UAV has lost power and/or is falling at a rapid rate of descent such that, upon impact, there is a risk of damage to an object with which the UAV may collide. Upon detecting the risk of damage and prior to impact, the damage avoidance system activates a damage avoidance system having one or more protection elements that work in concert to reduce or prevent damage to the object upon impact by the UAV.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to routers and quality of service (QoS) systems and methods that base decisions on the identification of one or more users of computing devices within the environment. Profiles and/or attributes associated with the users may be created and dynamically updated to optimize user experience. For example, the routers may dynamically adapt QoS settings to regulate bandwidth, latency and other parameters to prioritize users and/or optimize a specific user's experience based on the user's priority, personal profile, and/or other attributes.

Abstract translation: 模块化激光雷达系统可以由多个激光雷达(LIDAR)部件组成。 每个激光雷达(LIDAR)组件可以包括配置在一个帧中的激光发射器和激光检测器。 可以将多个激光雷达(LIDAR)部件布置在可旋转的旋转外壳上。 可旋转的壳体可以围绕垂直于由安装基座限定的平面的第一轴线旋转。 在一些实施例中,多个LIDAR部件可以从不同的方向从旋转壳体向外瞄准,其可以在多达90度或高达180度的范围内。 当可旋转壳体围绕第一轴线完全旋转时,多个激光雷达部件可围绕第一轴扫描360度的第一视场,并且可以围绕第二轴扫描基本上为180度的第二视场。 模块化激光雷达系统可以用用于导航目的的飞机来实现。
