Patent number: 11673650Abstract: A method for unmanned delivery of an item to a desired delivery location includes receiving, at an unmanned vehicle, first data representative of an approximate geographic location of the desired delivery location, receiving, at the unmanned vehicle, second data representative of a fiducial expected to be detectable at the desired delivery location, using the first data to operate the unmanned vehicle to travel to the approximate geographic location of the desired delivery location, upon arriving at the approximate geographic location of the desired delivery location, using the second data to operate the unmanned vehicle to detect the fiducial; and upon detecting the fiducial, using the fiducial to operate the unmanned vehicle to deliver the item.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2020Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Teledyne FLIR Detection, Inc.Inventors: Helen Greiner, Felipe Bohorquez, Alexey Zaparovanny, Kenneth D. Sebesta

Patent number: 11174021Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for powering and controlling flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicles can be used in a networked system under common control and operation and can be used for a variety of applications. Selected embodiments can operate while tethered to a portable control system. A high speed tether management system can be used to facilitate both mobile and static tethered operation. Modular components provide for both tethered and fully autonomous flight operations.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: FLIR DETECTION, INC.Inventors: Bretton E. Anderson, Felipe Bohorquez, Misha Filippov, Helen Greiner, Jason Jeffords, Sam Johnson, Kevin Michael Mcclure, Kim Salazar, Kenneth D. Sebesta, Andrew M. Shein, Perry Stoll, Chikyung Won, Alexey Zaparovanny

Publication number: 20050030215Abstract: A multiplexer selects an input signal from one of plural sensors. An A/D converter converts the selected input signal to a digital input value. A processor then determines, based on the digital input value, an output resistance to which the resistance of the selected sensor is to be translated. Finally, the processor controls a digital potentiometer corresponding to the selected sensor to the determined output resistance. In one embodiment, a conditioning circuit adjusts the gain of the input signal according to calibration data, effectively performing at least a part of the translation in the analog domain.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2003Publication date: February 10, 2005Inventors: Robert Venditti, Peter Grigorov, Alexey Zaparovanny
