Publication number: 20230336012Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of managing the power requirements of an off-grid assembly, and in particular a solar powered off-grid floodlight assembly, that has one or more functional components with electrical power demands that are met by energy storage means. In a first stage the method determines the current state of charge of the energy storage means and records such. This current state of charge determined is then compared with a calculated power requirement for operating said functional components for at least one required operating period. The level of power supplied by the energy storage means to the functional components is then managed in accordance with a power rationing model that comprises instructions to vary the power supplied over time to ensure at least partial functionality of the functional components throughout the required operating period or periods.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Michael Guy Faram, Owen William Pearson, Timothy Charles Brookes, Christopher Alan Williams

Patent number: 11753164Abstract: The present disclosure provides a release launching system that is operative to receive and retain a drone or other payload in a protected launcher. The launcher helps to reduce the drag of the payload and to protect the payload from environmental factors. The payload is launched when a force initially separates the payload from the launcher and exposes a force generating mechanism. The force generating mechanism may be within the body portion of the device and generate an additional force to assist in separating the payload from the launcher. The payload may be launched using a biasing and fastening mechanism, which may include detachably coupling bracket, to allow for the separation of the payload from the launcher.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2022Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Anduril Industries, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas Robert Alley, Jesse Owen Williams, Matthew Gordon Brasher

Publication number: 20230278707Abstract: The present disclosure provides rolling release launching system that is operative to receive and retain a drone or other payload in a protected launcher. The launcher helps to reduce the drag of the payload and to protect the payload from environmental factors. The payload is launched when a rotating door opens to expose the payload in a bay area. The rotating door may be parallel or concentric to a longitudinal axis of the body portion of the device. The payload may be launched using a biasing and fastening mechanism, which may include detachably coupling bracket, to induce an angular moment and releasing force on the payload during launch.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Nicholas Robert Alley, Jesse Owen Williams, Matthew Gordon Brasher

Publication number: 20230257117Abstract: The present disclosure provides a payload deployment system that is operative to receive and retain a configurable payload. The payload deployment mechanism helps to reduce the drag of the payload and to protect the payload from environmental factors. The payload may be released using a hinge mechanism to ensure the payload does not contact the payload deployment mechanism when the payload is deployed. A vent may be utilized to equalize pressure between the external environment and a body portion of the payload deployment mechanism. The vent may generate an additional force to assist in separating the payload from the launcher.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Nicholas Robert Alley, Jesse Owen Williams, Matthew Gordon Brasher, Julian Hammerstein
