Abstract: An unmanned vehicle including a body and a frame structure extending from the body and supporting a plurality of propeller assemblies, each propeller assembly including at least one propeller and a corresponding motor with the motor housed in a watertight housing or coated and made corrosion resistant. The propellers comprise a first subset of propellers of the propeller assemblies and a second subset of propellers of the propeller assemblies which rotate in a plane positioned below a plane in which the first subset of propellers rotate, wherein said first and second subset of propellers are configured for independent operation of one another as the vehicle transitions from an air medium to a water medium.

Abstract: This invention relates to a drone, method and systems for displaying messages and/or images by using a group of one or more remotely controlled airborne drones provided with display means and controlled so the messages and/or images are created and are visual by the display means of the group of airborne drones. The display means are controlled such that the messages and/or images are 2D or 3D respectively. The display means may include LED's, OLED's or LCD based on means or DLP and/or laser projection means. The display of messages and/or images can be remotely controlled using a social gateway for airborne visualization, enabling the integration of content from end-user and marketing clients based on the drone's geographic position and social media audience profile.

Abstract: Described herein is an approach using inexpensive, disposable chemical sensor probes that can be mounted on a small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and used to analyze a site (such as one known or suspected to contain explosive residue, spilled material or contaminated soil) without the need for a person to conduct ground operations at the site. The method involves contacting a soil or a surface with a filter paper wetted with a solvent, then subjecting the filter paper to voltammetry and/or spectroscopy, thus detecting a possible variation indicative of one or more analytes, wherein the solvent is the deep eutectic solvent consisting of a mixture of ethylene glycol and choline chloride.
