  • Publication number: 20240054786
    Abstract: A method for manipulating an initial video stream captured by a camera in a video conferencing endpoint into multiple views corresponding to regions of interest. The method comprises detecting objects of one or more predefined types in a frame of the initial video stream; selecting a plurality of crop regions (2200a, 2200b, 2200c) from the frame of the initial video stream, and transmitting the plurality of crop regions. Each crop region includes at least one bounding box and each bounding box includes a detected object of a predefined type.

  • Patent number: 11267569
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein present a spring system for use in a torque dependent rotor assembly designed to operate in resonance, where changes in applied torque controls the blade pitch angle and ultimately the movements of a rotary wing aircraft. More specifically, the present invention relates to a spring system used in such a rotor assembly where the stiffness of an associated spring member is allowed to vary in response to the torque applied from a motor to the assembly.

  • Patent number: 11161596
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor assembly where associated electric motors are configured to rotate the rotor, control the collective pitch of the rotor/assembly, and/or control the cyclic pitch of the rotor/assembly, by varying the relative rotational angle between two or more of the associated electric motors.

  • Patent number: 10960974
    Abstract: The present embodiments disclose a torque dependent and resonant operating thrust-generating rotor assembly including a cyclic pitch control system for controlling tilting moments about a longitudinal rotor blade axis of one or more rotor blades, in order to control the pitch angle of the rotor blades and thereby also the horizontal movements of a helicopter vehicle or a rotary wing aircraft. A rotor torque assembly of the rotor assembly is further configured to operate in resonance, thereby providing a resonant gain effecting a rotational offset in relation to changes in torque generated by the motor.

  • Patent number: 10377478
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a rotor control system where rapid changes in rotor torque are transferred into moment forces acting about the blade pitch axis of a rotor blade in a thrust-generating rotor, to ultimately control the movements of a rotary wing aircraft. The moment forces acting on the rotor blade are transferred through a carefully adjusted damping member in order to allow rapid changes in rotor torque to create cyclic changes in blade pitch angle, while slow or permanent changes are cancelled out and affects the rotational speed and the thrust generated by the rotor, without permanently affecting the blade pitch angle of individual rotor blades.
