  • Publication number: 20220309932
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for managing a vehicle. For instance, the method may include transmitting a notification to a first device. The method may further include receiving, from the first device, an image depicting an area, identifying a landing zone in the area, and performing an analysis by processing the image and determining whether an object is detected within a predetermined radius of a center point of the landing zone. The method may further include, in response to determining a presence of a non-removable object within the predetermined radius of the center point of the landing zone, transmitting instructions to the first device to obtain a new landing zone.

  • Patent number: 11155934
    Abstract: A spinning electrode for production of polymeric nanofibres by electric or electrostatic spinning of a polymer solution or melt includes a conduit for the polymer solution or melt. A spinning surface on the conduit is defined by a face of the conduit or an extension on the conduit. A screw shaft is disposed within an inner space of the conduit, wherein the screw shaft and an inner wall of the conduit form a screw conveyor. The screw shaft has a lower end that projects out from the conduit and is connected to a hub of a magnetic coupling.

  • Patent number: 10927480
    Abstract: A method, system, and resulting linear fibrous formation are provided wherein a supporting linear formation defines a core that is transported through a spinning chamber. A coating of polymeric nanofibers enveloping the supporting linear formation in the spinning chamber. The coating of polymeric nanofibers comprises a flat stripe wound around the core into a helical form, the flat stripe created from a hollow electrically neutral nanofibrous plume generated in a spinning space above a spinning electrode during spinning by AC electric voltage in the spinning chamber.

  • Patent number: 10478944
    Abstract: The recycling unit is the technology for the continuously controlled process of recycling and drying screened abrasive during which the intensity of batching of the abrasive is regulated according to the temperature in the drying oven. The control system continuously measures the current temperature and on the basis of this data it decides on switching the heating elements on or off or turning the batching process on or off; this control is based on the temperature hysteresis and on changing the intensity of batching of abrasive, which is subject to switching the heating elements or turning the batching process on or off.

  • Patent number: 10345042
    Abstract: Drying of recycled abrasive that can be recycled separated or as a part of the full recycling system. Sorted and meshed wet recycled abrasive is kept in a hopper for wet recycled abrasive, it is continuously delivered using a screw feeder into a drying chamber on a vibration mesh. Air is blown in the chamber, using an air flow generator, under a vibration mesh. The recycled abrasive is moved and lifted on the mesh using air flow and mesh vibration, this provides for clots of recycled abrasive to break down to particles of recycled abrasive and abrasive mixes and dries.

  • Patent number: 10041189
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for production of polymeric nanofibers, in which polymeric nanofibers are created due to the action of force of an electric field on solution or melt of a polymer, which is located on the surface of a spinning electrode, whereby the electric field for electrostatic spinning is created alternately between the spinning electrode (1), to which is supplied alternating voltage, and ions (30, 31) of air and/or gas generated and/or supplied to proximity of the spinning electrode (1), whereby according to the phase of the alternating voltage on the spinning electrode (1) polymeric nanofibers with an electric charge of opposite polarity and/or with segments with an electric charge of opposite polarity are created, which after their creation cluster together under the influence of the electrostatic forces into linear formation in the form of a tow or a band, which moves freely in space in direction of gradient of the electric fields away from the spinning electrode (1).
