Abstract: The invention proposes the two-axis direct drive mechanical mechanism of a multi-sensor observation device for unmanned aerial vehicles. This is a mechanical mechanism to perform rotate pan-tilt axis by direct drive motor. This mechanism include main components: assembly pedestal, assembly pan-axis and assembly tilt-axis. Electronic circuits, encoders, mechanism, motor are optimized arranged and scientifically designed to the layout space and the weight of the structure. This mechanism can integrate optical sensors such as infrared cooling cameras, high resolution camera, laser rangefinder.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to carboxylated spherical crystalline chitin nanoparticles (SChNPs) having an average diameter of about 18-20 nm or less; and a process for producing same from the chitinous material, comprising contacting a chitinous material with an Oxone monopersulfate reagent (Formula (II)).

Abstract: There is provided herein antibacterial products and processes for preparing antibacterial products from maple syrup and passivating agents in the presence of a catalyst under irradiation or hydrothermal reaction conditions. The disclosure further provides a method for inhibiting the growth of a gram-positive bacteria, a gram-negative bacteria or a yeast.

Abstract: The invention proposed the design of an optical system using the principle of Cassegrain telescopes for a long wave radiation range, which consists of two main components: the first component comprising the two reflective mirrors, in which surface distortion of mirror 1 is parabolic, surface distortion of mangin mirror 2 is aspheric; the second component is a relay consisting of three lenses: lens 1, lens 2, and lens 3 arranged after the medial image plane correspondingly; it plays an important role in fixing the pupil's position to match the position of the cold shield of the sensor and eliminating absolutely the aberration to ensure receiving good quality image at the sensor plane.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring, recognizing, and utilizing collateral security and account payments is provided to preserve/improve a borrower's credit history with credit bureaus. Collateral deposit data indicative of collateral deposits is periodically received at a computing device and stored in association with a security account in a first memory device. Line of credit data indicative of a line of credit is generated, the line of credit data comprising an indication of a predetermined credit limit based on the collateral deposit data, the line of credit data stored in association with a secured line of credit account at one or more of the first memory device and a second memory device. Periodic transfers of collateral security data associated with the security account occur to settle any outstanding balance associated with the line of credit.

Abstract: This disclosure presents embodiments of novel strains of Staphylococcus aureus that through genetic engineering produce type 5 capsular polysaccharide at greater levels than Staphylococcus aureus strain Reynolds.
