Abstract: A mobile banking system and method allows an unbanked individual to engage in banking practices that would otherwise not be available to the individual due to the individual not having a bank account and not being able to cash checks, make deposits, etc. The mobile banking system allows the unbanked individual to create a registered system account and become a customer of the system. This system account allows the customer to make deposits at credit unions and merchants who are part of the mobile banking system. The customer can also withdraw funds from a merchant or make purchases from a merchant. The customer can also make donations to a desired donation receiver and create a wallet that allows the customer to allocate funds to cards in the wallet and allow individuals access to the cards and money associated with a card.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of methods and apparatuses for a wearable augmented reality system for fitness. The embodiments may include producing an avatar in the field of vision of the wearer, wherein a perceived position of the avatar may be controlled to aid the wearer in fitness training by establishing a controllable pace for the wearer. The embodiments may further include an optical system that produces the avatar such that it may be perceived by the wearer of the wearable augmented reality apparatus as a virtual running partner.

Abstract: Described herein are embodiments of methods and apparatuses for an augmented reality positioning system wherein an augmented reality device may directly (or indirectly through a separate smart device) connect with a constellation of beacons with ultra-wideband (UWB) modules to estimate a position and overall attitude for the augmented reality device and modify the perceived position of a virtual elements in space accordingly. The embodiments may include configurations for how various devices may connect and send data between one another. The embodiments may further include various constellation arrangements for beacons as well as embodiments of methods of trilateration that may be used to interpret data from various beacons.

Abstract: An uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) configured and operable for controllable flight, including autonomous flight. A generally planar body defining opposing front and back planar surfaces includes a plurality of circular duct openings provided in the planar body extending between the opposing front and back surfaces. A plurality of rotor guard assemblies are provided wherein each respective rotor guard assembly is configured for detachable engagement with a respective duct opening. A rotor is respectively rotatably mounted in each respective duct opening of the plurality of duct openings whereby each rotor is configured for providing propulsion of the UAV planar body. An electronic controller is operatively coupled to each rotor for controlling rotation of each rotor wherein the electronic controller is configured to enable flight of the UAV via a single hand-throw from a user operator of the UAV.

Abstract: A modular drone containment system including a plurality of modular stacked drone containers. Each modular drone container is configured to house a drone device and be removably disposed in a stacked orientation relative to one another. Each modular container includes a sidewall having a continuous upstanding wall defining a containment space configured to house a respective drone device. A topmost modular container in the stacked orientation further includes a top cover pivotally attached to a top portion of its sidewall. A bottommost modular container in the stacked orientation includes a bottom wall attached to a bottom portion of its sidewall. Further included is a charging system configured to simultaneously charge a battery provided in each drone housed in a stacked modular container.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method for operating one or more uncrewed vehicles (UxSs) in autonomous navigation modes. A software module is provided and executed for operation in a portable user computer device for enabling control and operation of the one or more UxS devices. The software module is configured for enabling the portable user computer device to communicate with one or more external communication devices regarding operation and control of the one or more UxSs. The software module communicatively couples the portable user computer device to the one or more UxSs via a transceiver component provided in the portable user computer device, wherein the software module enables voice commands received from a user at the portable user computer device to control one or more navigation functionalities for the one or more UxSs via the transceiver component.

Abstract: A liquid dispenser. The dispenser includes reversible modular components to define selective removability and rearrangement between them and a base structure such that one or more sheets of a passing liquid-receiving substrate may receive such liquid through interchangeable liquid-dispensing orientations. The removability features include tool-free operation to facilitate quick insertion and removal of the modular components that include at least a liquid-dispensing valve assembly and a seal that is selectively engageable with the valve assembly to protect liquid-dispensing nozzles of the valve assembly from becoming clogged with residual dried liquid during periods of inactivity of the liquid dispenser. Selective movable cooperation or attachment between the modules—as well as between the modules and the base structure—facilitates flexible configurations of the dispenser, including top-down and bottom-up liquid-dispensing orientations.
