Abstract: The invention provides for a hybrid unmanned aerial and submersible vehicle (UASV) (100) comprising a fuselage (102), at least one wing structure (104, 106), a propulsion system (116, 118) and an empennage. The said vehicle is capable of operating in air, on water and underwater via its wing tilting mechanism wherein the transition of the vehicle between different mediums is seamless. Further, the wing structures (104, 106) are connected on either side of the fuselage (102), such that each wing (104, 106) tilts about a common lateral axis (360° of freedom), and wherein said tilting depends on the mode of operation of the UASV (100). The vehicle of the present invention further includes a propeller protection system, a landing system, control surfaces, and sensors. The present invention also discloses methods for operating the UASV (100) in multiple mediums.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods and systems for determining whether a reference point in a location system has changed using the entropy of channel impulse responses. In one embodiment a method of determining whether the location of a first one of a plurality of reference points used in a location system has changed is provided. The reference points each have a known initial position and the method includes the steps of: estimating a channel impulse response of a wireless channel between the first reference point and a second of said plurality of reference points; determining the difference between the estimated channel impulse response and a previously-estimated channel impulse response of the wireless channel; estimating an entropy of the difference between the channel impulse responses; and determining, from said comparison, whether the location of the first reference point has changed. In another embodiment the method includes the steps of: estimating an entropy of the channel impulse response of a wireless channel between the first reference point and a second of said plurality of reference points; comparing the estimated entropy to a previously-estimated entropy for the channel impulse response of the wireless channel; determining, from said comparison, whether the location of the first reference point has changed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed to determine a permeability value and a permeability image of a rock. The process can include determining labeling of a 3D segment of a rock. The labeled segments can be determined using, for example, computer vision and machine learning and can be used to determine a grain size of a 3D rock segments. The grain size value can be used to determine a permeability value for the 3D rock segment. The permeability value of the 3D rock segment can be used to determine the heterogeneous permeability of the rock.

Abstract: A photocatalytic batch reactor can include a reactor vessel configured to receive a photocatalyst, the housing having an inlet, an outlet, and an opening configured to allow light to pass into the interior volume. The photocatalytic batch reactor can include a carbon-dioxide pump that is configured to pressurize carbon-dioxide en route to the reactor vessel. The photocatalytic batch reactor is operable in a gas state in which gas carbon-dioxide is supplied to the reactor vessel from a gas carbon-dioxide container. The photocatalytic batch reactor is also operable in a liquid state in which liquid carbon-dioxide is supplied to the reactor vessel from a liquid carbon-dioxide container. The photocatalytic batch reactor is also operable in a supercritical state, in which supercritical carbon-dioxide is supplied via the carbon-dioxide pump.
