  • Patent number: 12077316
    Abstract: An introduced autonomous aerial vehicle can include multiple cameras for capturing images of a surrounding physical environment that are utilized for motion planning by an autonomous navigation system. In some embodiments, the cameras can be integrated into one or more rotor assemblies that house powered rotors to free up space within the body of the aerial vehicle. In an example embodiment, an aerial vehicle includes multiple upward-facing cameras and multiple downward-facing cameras with overlapping fields of view to enable stereoscopic computer vision in a plurality of directions around the aerial vehicle. Similar camera arrangements can also be implemented in fixed-wing aerial vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11140457
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for determining and establishing network path for a streaming video device. The device may receive video from a remote digital video recorder (DVR) through a first access point (AP) wirelessly connected to second AP of the remote DVR, wherein the streaming video device, the first AP, and the remote DVR share a network, wherein the remote DVR includes a third AP. The device may determine a first connection quality associated with a first frequency band between the streaming video device and the first AP. The device may determine a second connection quality associated with a second frequency band between the streaming video device and the second AP. The device may determine that the second connection quality exceeds the first connection quality. The device may establish a direct connection between the streaming video device and the second AP using second frequency band. The device may receive DVR video over the second frequency band.

  • Patent number: 11116611
    Abstract: Process and systems for molding or forming products from thermosetting plastics. The system utilizes a deformable container that is placed within the cavity of the housing of the mold with the resins and initiator mixed therein. As a piston slides into the cavity, the upper edges of the container engage between the housing and the piston to seal the housing form leakage. The pressure of the piston along with heat on the housing enable the curing process to be controlled to minimize shrinkage and porosity.

  • Patent number: 10379982
    Abstract: Computing systems, devices, and methods for performing a virtual load test are disclosed herein. In accordance with the present disclosure, an asset data platform may define a respective range of acceptable values for each load-test variable in a set of load-test variables. The asset data platform may then receive one or more under-load reports from a given asset, and carry out a virtual load test for the given asset by, performing a comparison between the respective observation value for the load-test variable included in the most recent under-load report and the respective range of acceptable values for the load-test variable. In turn, the asset data platform may identify load-test variables for which the respective observation value falls outside of the respective range of acceptable values, and may then cause a client station to present results of the virtual load test for the given asset.

  • Patent number: 9387411
    Abstract: The educational toy car includes a framework having a pair of rear wheels and a pair of front wheels. The front wheels are pivotably connected as well as rotatably connected with the framework, and rotate in concert with one another via a steering tie rod. The framework includes an engine block with a plurality of piston members that work in concert to visibly rotate a transmission member located elsewhere in the framework. The transmission member connects to a drive gear that includes a drive shaft extending rearwardly within the framework, and to in mechanical connection with a rear differential. The rear differential is in mechanical connection with the pair of rear wheels. The pair of rear wheels are rotatably connected with the framework, and are rotated upon movement of the piston members or the transmission member or the drive shaft or the rear differential.

  • Patent number: 9280206
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable medium for providing feedback effects for an image. The method includes identifying one or more features in an area of the image. The method also includes mapping the one or more identified features to at least one of multiple modalities of feedback effects. Additionally, the method includes generating parameters for feedback effect output and storing the generated parameters in association with the image such that, in response to coordinates of an input of a user corresponding to the area of the image, a user interface associated with the image is configured to provide at least one of the multiple modalities of feedback effects to the user. The multiple modalities of feedback effects include one or more visual feedback effects, one or more haptic feedback effects and one or more audio feedback effects.
