  • Patent number: 9629220
    Abstract: A lighting system is provided having a movement system, a light source repositionable via the movement system, a sensor, a controller, and a communication system. The controller may control characteristics of the light emitted by the light source, rotation of the panel by the movement system, and receiving signal information from the sensor. The communication system exchange data between the controller and an external device, the light source and the movement system being remotely controllable by logic received using the controller via the communication system. The light source, the movement system, the controller, the sensor, and the communication system are installable in a drone. Wearable apparatus may be used with the system. Objects may be tracked and illuminated.

  • Patent number: 5067837
    Abstract: There is disclosed a variable tip writing instrument for imprinting characters, lines or segments of lines of variable diametric dimensions, to be used manually or incorporated into the designs of computer related printers, plotters, or typewriter devices with computerized controls, the writing instrument being of the type having a storage end and a writing end opposed from the storage end, and a barrel adapted to contain a supply of ink which is in communication with the writing tip, formed by a writing tip positioned at the writing end of the instrument, the writing tip having an expandable diameter thereby to vary between the smallest diametric dimension and the largest diametric dimension thereof, and control means associated with the writing tip having a control end in operative relationship with the writing tip and an opposed manipulative end positioned along the length of the instrument and adapted to permit the manipulative control of the writing tip to control the diametric dimension of the writing t
