Patent number: 11827356Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed that includes a retractable payload delivery system. The payload delivery system can lower a payload to the ground using a delivery device that secures the payload during descent and releases the payload upon reaching the ground. The location of the delivery device can be determined as it is lowered to the ground using image tracking. The UAV can include an imaging system that captures image data of the suspended delivery device and identifies image coordinates of the delivery device, and the image coordinates can then be mapped to a location. The UAV may also be configured to account for any deviations from a planned path of descent in real time to effect accurate delivery locations of released payloads.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Wing Aviation LLCInventors: James Ryan Burgess, Joanna Cohen

Publication number: 20220374994Abstract: A system for electronically automating risk selection, rating, disaggregation, and assignment is provided. The system includes Quoting System interface software that generates graphical user interfaces that are output to a display screen of an end user computing device and that accept data relating to a risk subject to be analyzed and assigned. The risk subject data is used by a Triton software engine that interfaces with supplemental risk subject data application programming interfaces (API) to secure supplemental risk subject data relevant to analyzing and assigning the risk subject. The Triton software engine performs a risk selection analysis, a risk rating analysis, a disaggregation analysis, and a capacity analysis to quantify the risk presented by the risk subject and to determine a set of qualified facilities capable of accepting assignment of the risk subject. The Triton software engine evenly assigns the risk subjects to facilities using a market assignment process.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2020Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Trevor Ryan Burgess, James Dennis Albert, Brad Henry Schulz, James Edward Steiner

Patent number: 11066156Abstract: An aerial vehicle includes one or more propeller units operable to provide thrust for takeoff or hover flight and one or more propulsion units operable to provide thrust for forward flight. At least one propeller unit includes a shaft coupled to a motor, and a first propeller blade and a second propeller blade that are both connected to the shaft. The second propeller blade is located substantially opposite the first propeller blade, and the second propeller blade has a surface area substantially perpendicular to an axis of rotation that is greater than a corresponding surface area of the first propeller blade. While the aerial vehicle is in forward flight in a first direction and the motor is turned off, the first propeller blade and the second propeller blade are each configured to orient in a second direction that is substantially parallel to the first direction, such that the first propeller blade is oriented substantially upwind of the second propeller blade.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Wing Aviation LLCInventors: Parsa Dormiani, James Ryan Burgess
