Abstract: Vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (VTOLs) of the type used for the point-to-point delivery and transport of payloads (e.g., packages, equipment, etc.) and personnel, are significantly stabilized at least during takeoff and landing with present aspects significantly ameliorating or significantly eliminating destabilizing effects, including ground effect, during VTOL takeoff and/or landing.

Abstract: Vertical takeoff and landing vehicles (VTOLs) of the type used for the point-to-point delivery and transport of payloads (e.g., packages, equipment, etc.) and personnel, are significantly stabilized at least during takeoff and landing with present aspects significantly ameliorating or significantly eliminating destabilizing effects, including ground effect, during VTOL takeoff and/or landing. VTOL performance is further improved through the use of increased lift pressure and battery charging during takeoff.

Abstract: A communications system comprising a laser generation system configured to emit a set of laser beams, a computer system, and a communications manager in the computer system. The communications manager is configured to identify digital information for transmission. The communications manager is configured to control an emission of the set of laser beams by the laser generation system to generate electromagnetic radiation with motions between positions in a space to thereby encode the digital information.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for communicating information. A communications system comprises a computer system and a communications manager. The communications manager is in the computer system. The communications manager is configured to identify digital information for transmission. The communications manager is configured to transmit noise signals with different noise amplitudes that thereby modulate the noise signals to correspond to the digital information.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for communicating information. A communications system comprises a computer system and a communications manager. The communications manager is in the computer system. The communications manager is configured to identify digital information for transmission. The communications manager is configured to transmit noise pulses having different time periods between the noise pulses. The different time periods correspond to symbols representing the digital information.

Abstract: Methods and systems for transmitting data are described. A random data stream is generated. A data stream is generated comprising the random data stream and indicators as to which data of the random data stream is valid data to be communicated to a recipient. The random data stream and/or the data stream may be communicated using quantum entanglement.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus for modifying an entity sensory representation. An entity sensory representation representing an entity is received. The entity sensory representation comprises a plurality of sensory representations that represent a plurality of items that are part of the entity. Each of the plurality of items is associated with a set of values for a set of measurable factors of interest. A set of scale factors is calculated for each of the plurality of sensory representations based on the set of values associated with the each of the plurality of items. The plurality of sensory representations is modified using the set of scale factors to form a plurality of modified sensory representations that establish a relative relationship between the plurality of items represented by the plurality of modified sensory representations with respect to the set of measurable factors of interest.

Abstract: A method and apparatus comprising a source node. The source node is configured to transmit information using particles with quantum entanglement in a network configured to transmit the information over a reserved path during selected time intervals.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing unauthorized access of an information stream. The information stream is received at a node along a path to a destination node. The information stream comprises information bits and quantum bits that are interspersed with each other. A portion of the quantum bits are examined at the node along the path. An occurrence of unauthorized access to the information stream is indicated when an original entangled state of the portion of the quantum bits is absent.
