Abstract: Various examples are directed to an aerial vehicle comprising a fuselage, a first wing member, and a second wing member. The fuselage may have a nose end and a tail end. The first wing member may extend from the fuselage and comprise a first drive motor coupled to the first rotor. The second wing member may also extend from the fuselage substantially opposite the first wing member and may comprise a second drive motor coupled to a second rotor. A first motor may be coupled to rotate the first wing member and the first rotor about a first axis substantially perpendicular to a fuselage axis extending from the nose end to the tail end. A second motor may be coupled to rotate the second wing member and the second rotor about a second axis substantially perpendicular to the fuselage axis. A controller circuit may be configured to differentially actuate the first motor and the second motor.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising a vehicle identification electronic chip, a transmitter/receiver, and an ignition system is disclosed. The vehicle identification electronic chip supplies a vehicle identification number to a remote device in response to an activation signal. The apparatus may further include an on/off switch. The transmitter/receiver may receive a stop signal from the remote device and cause the on/off switch to turn the ignition system off in response to the stop signal.

Abstract: A computer system for developing what the cost of a part ought to be. The system is based upon the assumption that the firm seeking to have a part manufactured for it is a world-class competitor and, thus, in order to maintain this status, it must purchase parts from suppliers who are also world-class competitors. The oughta cost of the part assumes that the best manufacturing practices will be used, the best design, manufacturing practices, supply chain management techniques, labor rates, uptimes and yields will be employed and the selected supplier will continue to push itself to be the best in its industry. The system can generate very detailed reports showing how the ought-to-be cost was determined. These reports will be used in open fact driven discussions with the supplier and the traditional method of requesting quotes, factor cost analysis and target costing will be eliminated.
