    Abstract: A hose is disclosed for conveying fluids. The hose has a wall defining a fluid carrying tube and a power and/or data transmission cable is integrated into said wall. Also disclosed is a user definable module that is removably attachable to the distal end of a fluid conveying hose. The hose being releasably connectable to a fluid receiving entity to provide fluid to said entity. The fluid conveying hose has a wall defining a fluid carrying tube and a power and/or data transmission cable integrated into that wall. The user definable module is connectable to the cable and has components to measure at least one measurable parameter at the end of the hose and/or provide electrical connection between the cable and said fluid receiving entity for the transmission of data and/or power along the hose via said user definable interface. Also disclosed is a method of configuring a hose for fluid transfer. The method includes the step of selecting a user definable module and attaching the selected module to a distal end of the hose prior to connecting said hose to a fluid receiving entity.

    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method carried out by an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) may involve receiving a reference map of a cluster of charging pads from a server. The cluster may include a layout of charging pads and fiducial markers distributed across the layout, the reference map representing the layout and fiducial markers. The UAV may fly to the cluster and acquire an image of charging pads and observed fiducial markers near the charging pads. The image may capture an observed constellation of fiducial markers at apparent positions and orientations relative to the charging pads. A reference constellation of fiducial markers at reference positions and orientations relative to reference charging pads may be identified in the reference map. Identities of the reference charging pads and a match of the reference constellation to the observed constellation may be used to disambiguate a particular charging pad from among the charging pads.
