  • Publication number: 20230379042
    Abstract: Wireless communication is provided over an extended distance using a line or a series of drones traveling along a transmission path between a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends a data signal to a first drone that is within range of the transmitter. The first drone sends the data signal to an adjacent drone in the line of drones which retransmits the data signal to the next drone in line. The data signal is transmitted between drones until it reaches a final drone within range of the receiver. The final drone transmits the data signal to the receiver. As the drones travel along the transmission path, new drones are launched from a location within range of the transmitter to replace drones that land after transmitting a data signal to the receiver.

  • Publication number: 20230373268
    Abstract: A method for controlling a rear glass defroster for a vehicle upon start-up is presented. First, one or more factors are determined, which are selected from a temperature of an environment immediately outside the vehicle, a humidity of the environment, a dew point of the environment, a barometric pressure of the environment, a temperature of a rear glass of the vehicle, a temperature of an internal cabin of the vehicle and a sun load on the vehicle. Next, the one or more factors are compared to one or more corresponding predetermined thresholds or ranges that are indicative of conditions suitable for frost formation on a rear glass of the vehicle. Then, if the comparison indicates that the one or more factors meet the frost formation conditions, the rear glass defroster is activated. A vehicle rear-glass defrost system which uses the foregoing method is also presented.
