Abstract: A pin array release and capture chamber system includes a chamber assembly having two parallel plates of pin arrays from which a plurality of pins extends and retract vertically opposite each other so as to release and capture a space vehicle. The pin arrays are separated from each other by a space having two vertical and two horizontal sides, and the space is sized so as to receive the space vehicle. Each pin arrays may be housed in a pin array chamber enclosure. The chamber assembly may be attached to a moving object, such as a host space vessel.

Abstract: An unmanned maritime vehicle (UMV) pin array release and capture chamber system includes a chamber assembly having two parallel plates of pin arrays from which a plurality of pins extends and retract vertically opposite each other so as to release and capture a UMV. The pin arrays are separated from each other by a space having two vertical and two horizontal sides, and the space is sized so as to receive the UMV. Each pin arrays may be housed in a pin array chamber enclosure. The chamber assembly may be attached to a moving object, such as a naval vessel, above or below the surface of water, or may be stationary with respect to the water movement, or may be stationary with respect to the ground such as a pier.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pin array release and capture chamber system includes a chamber assembly having two parallel plates of pin arrays from which a plurality of pins extend and retract vertically opposite each other so as to release and capture a UAV. The pin arrays are separated from each other by a space having two vertical and two horizontal sides, and the space is sized so as to receive the UAV. Each pin arrays may be housed in a pin array chamber enclosure. The chamber assembly may be attached to a moving object, such as an aircraft, or may be stationary with respect to a ground surface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for launching and recovering moving objects with a pin array chamber are disclosed herein. In one embodiment of the disclosure, a pin array chamber system releases and captures an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) while airborne. The host aircraft has an in slip-stream chamber where two opposing plates of pin arrays exert a clamping force as pins extend onto the UAV to capture or release. As the pins are retracted from a captive UAV, thereby releasing a clamping force, the UAV continues with free-flight under its own power. In reverse, the UAV using precision relative navigation moves into the pin array chamber system under its own power in free-flight, and is then captured by the extensions of the pins with a clamping force. The pin array chamber system can also be used for ground systems, naval systems, space systems and microscopic systems.

Abstract: There is provided a method that includes (a) obtaining a result of a test of a person, wherein the result indicates a color for which the person has an affinity, and (b) preparing a document that includes an element having a feature having the color.
