  • Low-cost, long-term aerial imagery
    Patent number: 11153535
    Abstract: An imaging system that includes a camera mounted on an aerial platform, for example a balloon, allows a user to increase the longevity of the camera's battery by remote control. A user may capture imagery at a time scale of interest and desired power consumption by adjusting parameters for image capture by the camera. A user may adjust a time to capture an image, a time to capture a video, or a number of cycles per time period to capture one or more images as the aerial platform moves in a region of interest to change power consumption for imaging. The system also provides imaging alignment to account for unwanted movement of the aerial platform when moved in the region of interest. Additionally, a mounting device is provided that is simple and inexpensive, and that allows a camera to remain positioned in a desired position relative to the ground.

  • Highly hydrolytically stable loose-fill insulation
    Patent number: 11148970
    Abstract: The general inventive concepts relate to unbonded loose-fill fiberglass compositions useful for insulation. The compositions demonstrate high hydrolytic stability. In certain instances, this is accomplished by application of a surface modifier. In certain embodiments, the modifying agent is prepared by dilution and hydrolysis of a silane at a high solid content (i.e., hydrolysis at 25% to 60% solid).

  • Presence detection based on signal data
    Patent number: 11151850
    Abstract: Techniques for providing status information of a defined location are described. Data indicative of signal strength associated with radio frequency (RF) signals received by one or more devices communicating via a wireless communications protocol is accessed. A baseline signal strength profile based on the data is determined. The data indicative of signal strength associated with RF signals received by the one or more devices is monitored. Based on a comparison of the monitored data to the baseline signal strength profile, a presence of at least one person in a vicinity of the one or more devices is determined. At least one action based on the determined presence is initiated.
