  • Publication number: 20200363824
    Abstract: The system comprises a plurality of sensor systems, a counter drone, and a processor. A sensor system of the plurality of sensor systems comprises one or more sensors that are connected to a network. The counter drone is connected to the network. The processor is configured to receive an indication of a potential target from the plurality of sensor systems; generate a fused data set for the potential target, determine whether the potential target comprises the threat drone based at least in part on the fused data set; and in response to determining that the potential target comprises the threat drone, provide counter drone instructions to the counter drone.

  • Patent number: 10812978
    Abstract: A system for a lattice mesh comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a request to join a publish group from a client. The processor is configured to determine a group key; determine whether the client is allowed access to a topic of the publish group; in response to the client being allowed access to the topic of the publish group, provide the group key to the client; publish a group message including metadata; determine whether it is time to rotate the group key; and in response to it being time to rotate the group key, determine a new group key.

  • Publication number: 20200126431
    Abstract: An unmanned helicopter platform includes a fuselage, a tail coupled with the fuselage, a payload rail coupled with and extending along the fuselage and a main rotor assembly coupled with the fuselage. The tail includes a tail rotor and a tail rotor motor. The main rotor assembly includes a main rotor having an axis of rotation and a main rotor motor. The payload rail allows mechanical connection of payloads to the fuselage and positioning of the payloads such that a center of gravity of the payloads is alignable with the axis of rotation. A system for controlling the unmanned helicopter includes a processor and a memory for providing instructions to the processor. The processor can receive a task, dynamically determine a route for the task and autonomously perform the task including flying along at least part of the route. The route is based on the task, geography and terrain.

  • Publication number: 20190380032
    Abstract: A system for a lattice mesh comprises an interface and a processor. The interface is configured to receive a request to register from a host, wherein the request to register includes a key and a set of asset IDs that the host wishes to claim. The processor is configured to sign the key to generate a resource authority (RA) certificate signed key with an RA certificate; update an asset database with the RA certificate signed key; distribute the RA certificate signed host public key through the network; and provide the host with the RA certificate signed key. In some embodiments, the system further comprises a memory that is coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

  • Patent number: 10466740
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a metal frame in a head-mounted display (HMD) that is structured to absorb impact and protect components of the HMD. The metal frame has a wall that is spaced away from a protection shell securing a display panel in the HMD. When the HMD is dropped or subject to external force, the wall may deform but keep the protection shell intact. Moreover, the metal frame has protruding ridges and brackets that surround outward facing cameras on the HMD. If the HMD is dropped, the protruding ridges and brackets can provide protection to the cameras.

  • Patent number: 10065111
    Abstract: A system maps a user's interaction with a game controller to predefined hand positions that can be used in gaming and multimedia applications. A game controller with sensors receives user input with capacitive sensors and generates sensor outputs. A controller modeling module receives the sensor outputs and trains a model based on the outputs. The trained kinematic model maps the sensor outputs to one or more of a plurality of predefined hand positions. When an application requests the status of a user's hand position, e.g., through an API, the mapped hand position is sent to the application.
