  • Patent number: 11933613
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for ground control point assignment and determination. One of the methods includes receiving information describing a flight plan for the UAV to implement, the flight plan identifying one or more waypoints associated with geographic locations assigned as ground control points. A first waypoint identified in the flight plan is traveled to, and an action to designate a surface at the associated geographic location is designated as a ground control point. Location information associated with the designated surface is stored. The stored location information is provided to an outside system for storage.

  • Publication number: 20240002059
    Abstract: An architecture for supplying air to a high-pressure compressor (140) of an auxiliary gas generator (14) from a pressurized cabin (12) of an aircraft, comprising: a load compressor (16, 52) rotationally driven by a common rotation shaft (146) providing a mechanical coupling between the high-pressure compressor and a high-pressure turbine (144) of the auxiliary gas generator and supplied by an outside air intake (18, 58); a first regulation valve (22) assembled at the outlet of the load compressor to control all or part of the air flow delivered by the load compressor; a second regulation valve (22) assembled at the outlet of the pressurized cabin to control the air flow drawn from inside the pressurized cabin; a mixer (24) receiving the outputs of the first and second regulation valves to add the air drawn from inside the pressurized cabin to all or part of the air delivered by the load compressor; and a third regulation valve (26) assembled at the outlet of the mixer to control the air flow injected into the

  • Patent number: 3987666
    Abstract: A self-propelled carriage for inspecting the primary vessel of a fast reactor is capable of displacement within the interspace between the primary vessel and the containment vessel in order to inspect and test any predetermined zone of the primary vessel, the carriage being associated with a drive mechanism and applied against the oppositely-facing wall of the containment vessel. The carriage is suspended from a composite cable actuated by a handling apparatus for introducing the carriage into the interspace and withdrawing it therefrom. The composite cable supplies electric power as well as the different fluids required for positioning and operation of the inspection devices which are mounted on the carriage.
