Publication number: 20210103301Abstract: The user assistance drone device is an unmanned aerial vehicle used as a communication device. The user assistance drone device tracks the client while the user assistance drone device is in the air. The user assistance drone device follows the client and forms an audio communication link between the client and an appropriate authority. The audio communication link allows the client to speak with an appropriate authority. The user assistance drone device comprises the unmanned aerial vehicle and a master circuit. The unmanned aerial vehicle is a device capable of travel through the atmosphere. The master circuit: a) tracks the location and the movement of the client; b) transmits flight instructions to the unmanned aerial vehicle that allows the unmanned aerial vehicle to follow the client; and, c) establishes the audio communication link between the client and the appropriate authority.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2019Publication date: April 8, 2021Inventor: ROBERT MCCOY

Patent number: 9268125Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for illuminating a surface to be observed microscopically using a retractable beamsplitter. The retractable beamsplitter allows the use of coaxial illumination when the beamsplitter is positioned in the operator's line of sight. The retractable beamsplitter allows the use of non-coaxial illumination without reducing the amount of illumination that reaches the operator when the beamsplitter is retracted from the operator's line of sight. As a result a single system can be used effectively to provide various types of illumination.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2013Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Alcon Research, Ltd.Inventors: Jonathan Michael Butler, Robert Troy Hewlett, Robert Jeffrey Hewlett, Robert McCoy Hewlett
