  • Patent number: 11884388
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) having wings stowed against a fuselage of the UAV in a first arrangement is disclosed. Methods and systems for deploying the wings into a second arrangement are disclosed. For example, after a launch of the UAV, the UAV monitors for at least one pre-set condition. The at least one pre-condition being a pre-condition associated with deploying wings of the UAV into the second arrangement. Upon detecting the at least one pre-set condition, the wings of the UAV are deployed into a second arrangement. Deploying the wings comprises activating, in response to detecting the at least one pre-set condition associated with the UAV, a gearbox configured to transition the wings from the first arrangement to the second arrangement. Roll control may be maintained throughout launch and deployment.

  • Patent number: 11541986
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle with deployable components (UAVDC) is disclosed. The UAVDC may comprise a fuselage, at least one wing, and at least one control surface. In some embodiments, the UAVDC may further comprise a propulsion means and/or a modular payload. The UAVDC may be configured in a plurality of arrangements. For example, in a compact arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing stowed against the fuselage and the at least one control surface stowed against the fuselage. In a deployed arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing deployed from the fuselage and the least one control surface deployed from the fuselage. In an expanded arrangement, the UAVDC may comprise the at least one wing telescoped to increase a wingspan of the deployed arrangement.

  • Patent number: 11302361
    Abstract: An apparatus for video searching, includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to split a video into scenes, obtain, from the scenes into which the video is split, one or more textual descriptors describing each of the scenes, encode the obtained one or more textual descriptors describing each of the scenes into a video scene vector of each of the scenes, encode a user query into a query vector having a same semantic representation as that of the video scene vector of each of the scenes into which the one or more textual descriptors describing each of the scenes are encoded, and identify whether the video scene vector of at least one among the scenes corresponds to the query vector into which the user query is encoded.

  • Patent number: 11194448
    Abstract: An apparatus for vision and language-assisted smartphone task automation, includes a processor configured to execute instructions to identify whether an utterance of a user refers to one among at least one existing automation script, and based on the utterance being identified to not refer to the one among the at least one existing automation script, capture one or more screenshots and one or more coordinates of a display, the one or more screenshots and the one or more coordinates corresponding to one or more interactions of the user with the display while the user is demonstrating a new automation script, perform object detection and optical character recognition on the captured one or more screenshots and the captured one or more coordinates to obtain user interface (UI) elements corresponding to the one or more interactions, and obtain the new automation script, based on the obtained UI elements.
