Patent number: 10246845Abstract: A pile repair apparatus includes a metal clamp having left and right brackets connected by a hinge member. A friction surface is positioned along an inner surface of the metal clamp to improve the connection of the apparatus to a pile to be repaired. A platform is connected to a top surface of the metal clamp, and a means for providing buoyancy to the pile repair apparatus can be secured to the platform. The buoyancy of the apparatus allows a diver to move and to submerse the apparatus easily and to position the apparatus around a pile to be repaired by opening and closing the apparatus about the hinge member. The apparatus is secured to the pile by inserting a bolt through corresponding apertures in the left and right brackets of the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: 4D Tech Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Bradley G. Deroos, Kirill Speransky, Patrick Donovan, Lester J. Thompson, Alain D. Kennedy

Publication number: 20180307231Abstract: An intelligent electronic speed control (IESC) was developed that combines telemetry data from sensors on a small UAV with an intelligent rule set extracted from a trained artificial neural network (ANN) to detect and isolate faults and to predict future failures. IESCs integrated into the UAV's electronic architecture can serve to enhance UAV safety and reduce injury to personnel and damage to property by predicting failures and preventing accidents before they occur.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2018Publication date: October 25, 2018Applicant: 4D TECH SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Eric F. Sorton, Marjorie A. Darrah, Bradley G. DeRoos, Alex B. Rubenstein

Patent number: 9903085Abstract: A pile repair apparatus includes a metal clamp having left and right brackets connected by a hinge member. A friction surface is positioned along an inner surface of the metal clamp to improve the connection of the apparatus to a pile to be repaired. A platform is connected to a top surface of the metal clamp, and a means for providing neutral buoyancy to the pile repair apparatus can be secured to the platform. The neutral buoyancy of the apparatus allows a diver to move and to submerse the apparatus easily and to position the apparatus around a pile to be repaired by opening and closing the apparatus about the hinge member. The apparatus is secured to the pile by inserting a bolt through corresponding apertures in the left and right brackets of the apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: 4D TECH SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Bradley G.

Patent number: 9618934Abstract: An automatic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight control system for 3D aerial mapping includes a UAV with an onboard camera, and a controller capable of communication with a flight control module of the UAV. The controller is configured to determine an area mapping flight path based on terrain characteristics of an area to be mapped. The controller also can determine a structure mapping flight path based on the existence and location of vertical structures within the area to be mapped. The area mapping flight path can be appended with the structure mapping flight path, thus providing an integrated and optimized UAV flight path for 3D mapping and modeling.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2015Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: 4D TECH SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Bradley G. Deroos, Kirill Speransky, Marcela Alexandra Mera Trujillo
