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.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system energized by power lines includes a UAV, a charging mechanism and an electric circuit. The charging mechanism is operatively coupled to a body of the UAV. The charging mechanism can connect to power transmission lines deployed near an air space in which the UAV is airborne and operating. The charging mechanism can draw power from the power transmission lines to power a flight of the UAV. The electric circuit is onboard the UAV. The electric circuit can generate charging currents based on the power drawn from the power transmission lines to power the flight of the UAV while the UAV is airborne.

Abstract: Observing an observation area wider than a cruising distance of a drone, an acquiring observation data of all observation sections and analyzing all the observation area, even when it is impossible for the operator to go to the observation base due to a failure of a traffic infrastructure and when a failure of a communication infrastructure occurs. The drone flies through the observation section from the observation base, where the drone is on standby, to a next observation base to observe, to transmit all observation data after a first observation section stored in the drone to the next drone on standby at the observation base when the drone lands at the next observation base, and to deliver observation data of all observation sections to the observation base, which is a destination, by sequentially repeating the performance of the transmitting of data between the drones in all observation sections.

Abstract: A multi-copter lift body aircraft has a push or pull propeller and a lift body that has a first airfoil shape on a front to rear cross-section and a second airfoil shape on a left to right cross-section. The lift body is made from a top shell and a bottom shell. The lift body has a nose and a tail. Multi-copter propellers are attached to the lift body. The multi-copter propellers provide a lift at low speeds and the lift body provides a lift at high speeds. Avionics can be stored in a hollow cavity of the lift body. The avionics may include a control circuit, batteries, and a radio receiver. The multi-copter has a lift body made from an upper shell and a lower shell. The lift body has an optimum attack angle at a cruising speed, and the lift body provides a combined lift mode.
