  • Patent number: 9837760
    Abstract: This document describes connectors for connecting electronics embedded in garments to external devices. The connector is configured to connect an external device to a garment to enable communication between electronics embedded in the garment and electronic components of the external device. The connector may include a connector plug and a connector receptacle. The connector plug may be implemented at the external device and is configured to connect to the connector receptacle, which may be implemented at the garment. In one or more implementations, the connector plug includes an anisotropic material that is configured to connect to a printed circuit board (PCB) implemented at the connector receptacle.

  • Patent number: 9457901
    Abstract: A method and system of printable payload extensions of a quadcopter are disclosed. In one aspect, a quadcopter includes an airframe and a central portion of the airframe having at least one of an upper extender mechanism and a lower extender mechanism. The central portion enables users of the quadcopter to design payload extensions that mechanically couple with the quadcopter using a three-dimensional (3D) printing device as long as the payload extensions have a weight less than a maximum payload capacity of the quadcopter. The quadcopter couples with at a set of payload extensions including a hook assembly, an interlocking building block platform assembly, a DSLR camera assembly, a HD camera assembly, and/or a container assembly through the central portion of the airframe.

    Abstract: A method and system of printable payload extensions of a quadcopter are disclosed. In one aspect, a quadcopter includes an airframe and a central portion of the airframe having at least one of an upper extender mechanism and a lower extender mechanism. The central portion includes a connection means that enables users of the quadcopter to design payload extensions that mechanically couple with the quadcopter using a three-dimensional (3D) printing device in conformance with the connection means as long as the payload extensions have a weight less than a maximum payload capacity of the quadcopter. The connection means to couple any of a set of payload extensions including a hook assembly, an interlocking building block platform assembly, a DSLR camera assembly, a HD camera assembly, and a container assembly through the central portion of the airframe.

  • Publication number: 20150202770
    Abstract: A method, device and system of sidewalk messaging of an autonomous robot are disclosed. In one embodiment, an autonomous robot includes a motherboard comprising a processor communicatively coupled with a memory, a sensory fusion circuitry to execute a command of a sensory fusion algorithm, and a communication circuitry to bi-directionally communicate an instruction between a central server and the autonomous robot. A sidewalk lighting circuitry executes a projection command of a sidewalk messaging algorithm. The sidewalk lighting circuitry autonomously projects a relevant projection of at least one of an operational status message, a directional message, and an advertisement message on a ground of a sidewalk area immediately in front of a present trajectory of the autonomous robot based on the projection command generated by applying the sidewalk messaging algorithm to instructions of at least one of the sensory fusion circuitry, the central server, and the communication circuitry.

  • Patent number: 9004396
    Abstract: A method and device of a Skyteboardâ„¢ quadcopter are disclosed. In one aspect, a quadcopter includes a first pair of rotors including a first rotor and a second rotor physically enclosed in a peanut shaped airframe, an undercarriage mechanically coupled on a lower side of the peanut shaped airframe, and a second pair of rotors comprising of a third rotor and a fourth rotor mechanically coupled to the undercarriage. The second pair of rotors folds underneath the first pair of rotors such that the first pair of rotors and the second pair of rotors are substantially parallel to each other in a folded mode of the quadcopter. The first pair of rotors is substantially above the second pair of rotors in the folded mode, such that the first rotor is substantially above the third rotor and the second rotor is substantially above the fourth rotor when in the folded mode.
