  • Drone with training mode
    Patent number: 11016483
    Abstract: A system and method for operating an indoor/outdoor drone in a training mode that limits the maximum altitude during flight, restricts the ability to perform rapid maneuvers, and also may disable the ability to conduct aerial stunts. The system includes a flight controller that may select between the training mode, a normal mode, and a stunt mode. In the training mode, the flight controller restricts an increase in altitude of the drone beyond an altitude threshold, and also restricts an increase in one or more movement parameters of the drone beyond respective movement parameter thresholds. The selection of the training mode may disable the ability for the user to select the stunt mode.

  • Flameless electronic candle
    Patent number: 10488005
    Abstract: An imitation candle is provided that simulates an open flame by providing a flickering light effect reflected on a flame element. The flickering light effect may be produced using a light transmitting device, such as a fiber optic cable, that allows light to travel from a light source located near the base of the candle to the top of the candle to reflect off the flame element. The imitation candle may further include an additional light source located in the base of the candle to illuminate the body of the candle. Such additional light source may be one or more light sources of different color, which may allow the body of the candle to change color. Optionally, the color changing body may be implemented in combination with a light source located at the top of the candle that produces a flickering effect.
