  • Ground station and tether for unmanned aerial vehicles
    Patent number: 10710746
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle system includes a ground station including a case, a power supply housed in the case, and a tether having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The first end of the tether is coupled to the case. The unmanned aerial vehicle system also includes a module including smart battery authentication circuitry configured to be coupled to the second end of the tether. The module is configured to be connected to an unmanned aerial vehicle. The smart battery authentication circuitry enables the unmanned aerial vehicle to receive power from the power supply housed in the case when the module is connected to the unmanned aerial vehicle.

  • DYNAMICALLY CONTROLLABLE FORCE-GENERATING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160327073
    Abstract: A dynamically controllable force-generating device configured to be incorporated into a vehicle, such as an aircraft or a ship, or an energy-harvesting device, such as a wind turbine, is disclosed. The dynamically controllable force-generating device includes a force-generating motive surface, a motor operatively coupled to the force-generating motive surface to move at least a portion of the force-generating motive surface to generate a force, at least one controlling motive surface spaced apart from the force-generating motive surface, and a motor operatively coupled to the at least one controlling motive surface to move at least a portion of the controlling motive surface to change at least one of a direction and a magnitude of the force generated by the force-generating motive surface.
