  • Patent number: 12151039
    Abstract: A sanitation device includes a housing with a channel extending into the housing and a plurality of openings in the channel. A plurality of light emitting diodes emit light through the openings in the channel. A shield is coupled to the housing and a motion sensor emits and detect light through the shield when activated, such that the shield narrows a field of view of the motion sensor. The sanitation device is positioned near a common touch point with the motion sensor determining when an object is near, and has moved away from, the touch point. The plurality of light emitting diodes are activated to clean the touch point after the object moves away. The sanitation device may further include a status indicator light to provide information regarding the current state of operation of the sanitation device.

  • Publication number: 20240246783
    Abstract: Methods and systems for utilizing a removable loading dock ramp system. One of the apparatus includes a platform having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the platform comprising at least one rod attached to the bottom surface at the first end; and a first bracket and a second bracket each attached to a storage structure, the first bracket comprising a first planar surface extending away from the storage structure and defining a hole, sized to accept the rod, through the first planar surface, the second bracket comprising a second planar surface extending away from the storage structure and defining a slot comprising an opening at an edge of the second planar surface, the slot sized to accept the rod such that the rod passes through the opening and rests at a bottom of the slot.

  • Publication number: 20180273170
    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) including wing sections and hinge assemblies. Each wing section includes an airfoil and a propulsion unit. The wing sections are arranged side-by-side, pivotably connected by the hinge assemblies to define an airframe module. The airframe module is transitionable between a fixed-wing state and a rotor state. In the fixed-wing state, the airframe module has an elongated shape extending between opposing, first and second ends. In the rotor state, the first end is immediately proximate the second end. With this construction, the UAV provides two distinct modes of flight (fixed-wing for low power flight, and rotor for high maneuverability flight (including hover)). The wing sections can carry solar cells and a battery. A maximum power point tracker (MPPT) can be provided for optimizing the match between the solar array and the battery. The propulsion unit can include a variable pitch propeller.
