Publication number: 20250292691Abstract: System and graphical user interface for managing communications between a remote terminal device operated by a remote pilot or other operator and an uncrewed aircraft. The communication system may include a satellite communication system or other relay communication system that is used to relay voice communication packets between the terminal device and the uncrewed aircraft. A computing system on board the uncrewed aircraft is configured to monitor an RF-communication channel between the uncrewed aircraft and an air traffic control (ATC) facility. In accordance with a state of the RF-communication channel and input provided at the remote terminal device, the computing system may transmit, buffer, delay, store, suppress transmission of, or delete voice communication messages generated by the remote pilot or operator at the terminal device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2025Publication date: September 18, 2025Inventors: Chadwick Healy, Michael Westenhaver, John Folliard, James Conrad, Lewis Catton, Casey Klebba

Patent number: 8990110Abstract: A system and method for assigning controlled access to a securable device may include a kiosk configured to receive a PIN and to collect payment from a user for rental of a securable device from among multiple securable devices. A lock unit associated with the securable device and in communication with the kiosk may be configured to receive the PIN from said kiosk. After receiving the PIN, the kiosk may be configured to operate autonomously with respect to the kiosk to enable the user to access the securable device in response to the user entering the PIN into the lock unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Best Lockers, LLCInventors: James Mullin, John Zaniker, James Conrad, Daryle Bobb

Patent number: 8410901Abstract: Controlled access to a securable device is assigned whereby a kiosk is operable to assign an authorized user an ability to access a securable device selected from among a plurality of securable devices located remotely from the kiosk. The kiosk associates a unique personal identification number (PIN) with the authorized user and with the selected securable device, and is operable to transmit the unique PIN to the selected securable device, inform the user of the unique PIN; provide the user with location information of the selected securable device. The selected securable device is adapted to accept entry, at the securable device, of a PIN, and permits access upon entry of the unique PIN.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2008Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Best Lockers, LLCInventors: James Mullin, John Zaniker, James Conrad, Daryle Bobb
