Patent number: 10377488Abstract: A tandem-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) includes forward and aft wings mounted to the fuselage by frangible spar elements, the forward wings in a shoulder-wing configuration and the aft wings in a low-wing configuration. The forward and aft wings may incorporate fill-span multifunctional control surfaces on their trailing edges. The wing design prevents interference with airflow over the fuselage into a tail-mounted ducted propeller assembly, which pivots to provide vectored thrust. A nose compartment at the nose end of the fuselage may include a forward-mounted camera with a hemispherical field of view, the nose camera protected by transparent exterior panels. A ventral cargo compartment mounted amidships may include a ventral camera gimbal-mounted to provide an overhead perspective; the ventral camera may be gimbal-mounted for articulation along multiple rotational axes to provide additional views of the UAS exterior.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Draganfly Innovations Inc.Inventors: Garry Reusch, Mark Ter Keurs, Nathan Armstrong, Zenon Dragan

Patent number: 10325384Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a relation network visualization and interaction engine that is configured to generate an extended adjacency matrix representation of a relation network. The mechanisms create a relation network data structure, and generate an adjacency matrix graphical representation of the relation network based on analysis of the relation network data structure. The mechanisms extend the adjacency matrix graphical representation by adding an interactive indirect relation glyph, for an indirect relation in the relation network, to the adjacency matrix graphical representation in association with representations of a source entity and a target entity that correspond to the indirect relation, to thereby generate an extended adjacency matrix graphical representation. The mechanisms output the extended adjacency matrix graphical representation in a visual manner on a computing device.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2015Date of Patent: June 18, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas A. Keahey, Vanessa V. Michelini
