  • Publication number: 20170217571
    Abstract: Aerial vehicles are provided with one or more transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910). The one or more transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910) may support one or more propulsion units, and transform between a flight configuration where the propulsion units of the arms effect flight of the aerial vehicle, and a landing configuration, wherein the transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910) are used as a landing support that bears weight of the aerial vehicle when the aerial vehicle is not in flight. Using the transformable arms (110, 310, 410, 510, 910) as legs when the UAV is in a landed state permits the UAV to reduce weight and reduce obstruction to a payload carried by the UAV when the UA is in flight.

  • Publication number: 20160294595
    Abstract: The present invention is designed so that, in a radio communication system in which inter-terminal communication is carried out, the impact of inter-symbol interference due to the delay of inter-terminal discovery signals is reduced. The radio communication method of the present invention is used in a radio communication system in which each user terminal transmits the inter-terminal discovery signal in a transmission duration of a predetermined period. A radio base station determines the cyclic prefix (CP) length configuration for use in the transmission duration, and transmits cyclic prefix (CP) length configuration information which represents the CP length configuration. Each user terminal transmits the inter-terminal discovery signal based on the CP length configuration information.
