Peyton B. Cavaroc has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11697496
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for a remote oceanic environment includes a float system, at least one electric motor, and a seawater battery. The float system allows the UAV to maintain buoyancy on a body of water. The electric motor or motors produce the required lift for the UAV to achieve and maintain flight. The flight includes the UAV landing on the body of water and takeoff from the body of water. The seawater battery directly or indirectly powers the electric motor or motors using seawater from the body of water while the UAV is floating on the body of water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 14, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2023
    Assignee: United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy

  • Publication number: 20200066119
    Abstract: A device for signaling including a top member adjacent to a bottom member, a button adjacent to the top member, a sensor adjacent to the top member, a radio adjacent to the top member, a microprocessor board adjacent to the radio, a battery adjacent to the microprocessor board, and a switch adjacent to the bottom member. A button slot and sensor hole formed through the top member. The button is received in the button slot and the sensor in the sensor slot. The microprocessor board further comprises a light emitting diode. The bottom member has a bottom recess and a switch slot. The switch is received in the switch slot. The top member has a sensor recess and a screw hole. The sensor is retained in the sensor recess. The bottom member has a screw recess. The radio, microprocessor board, and battery are slidably received in the bottom slot.
