  • Patent number: 11648972
    Abstract: A motorized scooter cart system is a system that enables a user to comfortably move around while transporting objects or people. The system may include a scooter deck, at least one scooter wheel, a linkage arm, at least one seat assembly, a handlebar assembly, and a pushcart. The scooter deck is designed to support the weight of the user so that the user can freely maneuver the pushcart. The at least one scooter wheel provides the translational force necessary to move the present invention. The linkage arm enables the coupling of the scooter deck to the pushcart. The linkage arm also facilitates the maneuvering of the pushcart. The at least one seat assembly enables the user to comfortably seat while maneuvering the pushcart. The pushcart enables the transportation of objects or people mounted onto the pushcart. Finally, the handlebar assembly enables the control of the pushcart by the user.

  • Patent number: 10416535
    Abstract: A retrofittable float with an underwater camera attachment for unmanned aerial vehicles allows an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to traverse over a body of water while recording images and/or video of the underwater environment. The retrofittable float with an underwater camera attachment includes a flotation device, a plurality of mounting brackets, an underwater scope, and at least one underwater illumination light. The flotation device attaches to the UAV via the plurality of mounting brackets. The plurality of mounting brackets is configured to align the center of gravity of the UAV with the center of buoyancy of the flotation device, thereby reducing the risk of capsizing. Once securely mounted, the camera of the UAV is positioned pointing into the underwater scope. The underwater scope allows the camera to record images and/or videos of the underwater environment. Finally, the at least one underwater illumination light is used to increase visibility.
