  • Patent number: 10370119
    Abstract: A self-stabilizing spherical unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) camera assembly, including: a stabilizer assembly; a plurality of motors coupled to the stabilizer assembly; a spherical camera mounting cage assembly disposed about and coupled to the stabilizer assembly; and a plurality of cameras coupled to the spherical camera mounting cage assembly. Preferably, the plurality of cameras include a plurality of stereoscopic cameras coupled to an exterior of the spherical camera mounting cage assembly. The self-stabilizing spherical UAV camera assembly is capable of taking/recording 360 degree×180 degree stereoscopic photo/video content. The self-stabilizing spherical UAV camera assembly can also be used with various real-time visualization and control technologies.

  • Publication number: 20050288973
    Abstract: A system and method for changing a travel itinerary include receiving a request to make a change to a first travel itinerary that includes at least one segment, displaying an identification of one or more alternative segments, receiving a user selection of one of the alternative segments, modifying the first itinerary to include a reservation for the selected alternative segment, and releasing the segment of the first itinerary to be replaced by the selected alternative segments. The system and method may also include calculating a fare difference between the one or more alternative segments and the original segment to be replaced.
