Abstract: A tandem-tiltrotor apparatus, comprising a right-wing, a pin extending substantially in an inboard-outboard direction of the aircraft, a leadingedge-leaf connected to the hollow-pin providing the leadingedge-leaf 1-degree of rotational freedom around the pin. A tandem-tiltrotor power apparatus, comprising a right-wing, a front-wingleaf, hollow-pin extending substantially in an inboard-outboard direction of the aircraft, a leadingedge-leaf connected to a pin providing the leadingedge-leaf having 1-degree of rotational freedom around the hollow-pin, and a power cable threaded through the hollow-pin. A tandem-tiltrotor link apparatus, comprising a right-wing, a hollow-pin extending substantially in a inboard-outboard direction of the aircraft, a leadingedge-leaf having 1-degree of rotational freedom around the hollow-pin, a frontlink, fixed to the leadingedge-leaf lower surface and a frontlink-hinge fixed to the frontlink.

Abstract: A touchless trigger apparatus is touchless button, comprising a photon-gate side, a photon-gate distal side more than 1 cm (11.0 in) and less than 30 cm (11.0 in) across the photon-gate opening, to the photon-gate side. An electro-optical sensor is connected to the photon-gate side. An ASIC controller is connected to the output of the electro-optical sensor. Lastly a button face is within the opening of the photon gate. Alternatively, a touchless trigger apparatus is a touchless pushbutton, or a touchless switch. Any person or primate trained to use a button, pushbutton or switch could intuitively learn to use a touchless trigger apparatus due to its recognizable combination of elements and low-latency feedback before touching the button, the pushbutton or the switch.

Abstract: A Laminar Inducing Apparatus (LIA) inducing laminar airflow to a turbine engine or a propulsion fan. The LIA produces turbulent-free airflow with a light aerospace structure that can replace single purpose structure in the wing or empennage. Laminar airflow to the propulsion fan or the turbine engine is ensured in a greater number of flight conditions and angles of attack. Active control of flight can be enhanced by the manipulating the turbulent boundary surface as a flight control surface. LIA simply reduces the risk of FOD or bird strike damage. In addition to the engineered, laminar benefits, LIA provides greater safety from ground ingested FOD and more silent vertical take-off and landing. In summary, LIA ensures laminar airflow and acoustic attenuation to a propulsion fan or a turbine engine for a greater number of flight conditions, angles of attack, and from ground ingested FOD during vertical takeoff and landing.

Abstract: Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) achieving a 99.999% vehicle safety remains a distant vision. Safety could be regressed to the principle requirement of no double-space spending. Bitcoin (BTC) is an example of no double spending of digital coin. The SRV system is a computerized method of no double-space spending of a path for driverless vehicles, and more particular, a highly divisible, 4D SRV title exchange without trusted third parties. Decentralized space reservation is more liquid, further optimizing transportation assets. The politics of resilience, congestion and maintenance is supplanted with algorithms known as rules. Blockchain Rules, transactions and emergent consensus enables resilience expected from decentralized systems. Most importantly, no double-space spending illuminates a path toward 99.999% AV safety.
