  • Patent number: 11947348
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controller may have control elements configured to receive inputs from a user. A cover may be coupled to the controller. The cover may be movable between a closed position in which the control elements are covered and an open position in which the control elements are exposed. An antenna may be integrated in the cover. The antenna may be electrically connected to circuitry in the controller for communicating with a UAV. In some implementations, a conductive plane and/or an insulating plane may be integrated in the cover. In some implementations, a heatsink, a fan, and/or a support mechanism may be arranged on an under portion of the controller. In some implementations, a circuit board including a cutout may be arranged inside the controller.

  • Patent number: 9972120
    Abstract: A method of mapping a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional surface includes capturing data for a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional structure. A process determines coincident points between the 2D image and the 3D structure and maps points on the 2D image to the 3D structure by assigning relative two-coordinate points from the two dimensional image to relative three-coordinate points of the three-dimensional structure. The mapping creates a 3D surface and texturing and removes superfluous data from the created three-dimensional surface to clean the mapped resultant.

  • Publication number: 20150160245
    Abstract: A highly sensitive method that utilizes a Paper Analytical Device (PAD) which measures part per million (ppm) levels of iodate iodometric titration is provided. The PAD quantifies concentrations of 0.6-15 parts per million (ppm) of iodine. The PAD has at least 12 reaction zones that contain dried reagents thereon and at least one electronically readable information zone. Salt and water are mixed and drops are placed onto 12 reaction zones that contain the loaded dry reagents. The PAD is shaken and the reaction zones turn blue if a preset iodate concentration has been exceeded. Test results are analyzed by comparing the PAD or an image of the PAD with standards, either by eye or with image analysis software to measure the color intensities which are compared to a calibration curve to quantify the iodate levels. The image analysis quantifies iodine with an average absolute accuracy and precision of 0.9 ppm over a range of 0.6-15 ppm.
