Abstract: An aerial vehicle is provided. The aerial vehicle can include a plurality of sensors mounted thereon, an avionics system configured to operate at least a portion of the aerial vehicle, and a machine vision controller in operative communication with the avionics system and the plurality of sensors. The machine vision controller is configured to perform a method. The method includes obtaining sensor data from at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors, determining performance data from the avionic system or an additional sensor of the plurality of sensors, processing the sensor data based on the performance data to compensate for movement of the unmanned aerial vehicle, identifying at least one geographic indicator based on processing the sensor data, and determining a geographic location of the aerial vehicle based on the at least one geographic indicator.

Abstract: A buck-boost converter includes a voltage input terminal, a voltage output terminal, a first switch, a second switch, an inductor, a third switch, and an auxiliary capacitor. The first switch includes a first terminal coupled to the voltage input terminal, and a second terminal. The second switch includes a first terminal coupled to the voltage output terminal, and a second terminal. The inductor is coupled between the second terminal of the first switch and the second terminal of the second switch. The third switch includes a first terminal coupled to the second terminal of the second switch, and a second terminal. The auxiliary capacitor is coupled to the second terminal of the third switch.

Abstract: A voltage-programmed display system allows measurement of effects on pixels in a panel that includes both active pixels and reference pixels coupled to a supply line and a programming line. The reference pixels are controlled so that they are not subject to substantial changes due to aging and operating conditions over time. A readout circuit is coupled to the active pixels and the reference pixels for reading at least one of current, voltage or charge from the pixels when they are supplied with known input signals. The readout circuit is subject to changes due to aging and operating conditions over time, but the readout values from the reference pixels are used to adjust the readout values from the active pixels to compensate for the unwanted effects.

Abstract: A system and method for compiling and monitoring a list of operational aircraft components to determine if a threshold is met. Utilizing the list and the threshold can provide for monitoring the network of aircraft components to monitor both health and security of the aircraft network and components thereof. The system can then indicate or alert when a threshold is met or exceeded. Such an alert can be on a display to a pilot, for example, or to a remote monitoring station.
