  • Patent number: 10891770
    Abstract: A remote station and method for rendering a ground plane over video feed are provided. The remote station comprises a processor, a communication interface for communicating with an unmanned vehicle (UV), and a non-transitory memory device storing a communications module. The communications module comprises machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to render a ground plane over video feed. The method comprises receiving a video feed from a camera on a UV, receiving from the UV telemetry information of the camera, receiving from the camera a zoom factor of the camera, calculating a horizon of the camera at a UV controller of the UV, and rendering the horizon as an overlay image on the video feed at a display of the UV controller.

  • Patent number: 6289762
    Abstract: A pedal mechanism requires a friction mechanism for producing the force hysteresis in the pedal to ensure the correct, desirable pedal ‘feel’. The friction is produced with a pivoted friction arm 28 which is urged into frictional contact with the pedal arm 18 by resetting springs 32,34.
