Publication number: 20180096611Abstract: A collision avoidance system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) receives physical space data for a flight area and creates a virtual world model to represent the flight area by mapping the physical space data with a physics engine. The automatic collision avoidance system creates a virtual UAV model to represent the UAV in the virtual world model. The automatic collision avoidance system receives flight data for the UAV and determines a current position of the virtual UAV model within the virtual world model. The automatic collision avoidance system determines a predicted trajectory of the virtual UAV model within the virtual world model, and determines whether the predicted trajectory will result in a collision of the virtual UAV model with the virtual world model. The automatic collision avoidance system performs evasive actions by the UAV, in response to determining that the predicted trajectory will result in a collision.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2016Publication date: April 5, 2018Inventors: Megumi Kikuchi, Michael Taylor, Dennis Dale Castleman, Andrew Stephen Young

Publication number: 20180095433Abstract: A system can determine that a simulated (e.g., virtual) weapon has hit a UAV. This can include determining a simulated position of the simulated weapon and the relative position of the UAV. The system can then determine an area of effect for the weapon and determine if the UAV was hit. The system can determine what components of the UAV were hit and to what degree. The system can then determine a simulated condition such as a damaged engine or wing. The system can then receive input for controlling the UAV and combine the input with the simulated condition to generate a control signal for the UAV. The control signal can include decreasing the power to a motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2016Publication date: April 5, 2018Inventors: Javier Fernandez Rico, Glenn Black, Michael Taylor, Andrew Stephen Young

Patent number: 9912239Abstract: A power supply includes a DC-DC converter, a boost converter, an energy storage element; and a voltage clamping circuit. The DC-DC converter is connected to a power source with an output voltage in a first voltage range. The voltage clamper circuit is configured to discharge at least a portion of energy of the energy storage element and to produce current at a clamped output voltage range that is substantially equal to the first voltage range. The discharged energy provides hold-up time for the power supply.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2016Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Nishanth Beedu, Prashant Purushotham Prabhu K, Joseph Marotta, Peter Gramata, Stephen Young

Patent number: 9878179Abstract: In various embodiments, a system for controlling radiotherapy equipment in a treatment environment includes a controller for receiving, from one or more image capture devices, data indicating the position of one or more objects in the treatment environment. Based on the position data, the controller defines one or more exclusionary zones from which the radiotherapy equipment is excluded. Each zone has a buffer area surrounding one or more of the objects. The controller further directs the radiotherapy equipment such that a radiotherapy treatment plan is delivered without the equipment entering into the exclusionary zones.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2016Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: ELEKTA AB (PUBL)Inventors: Per H.
