Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle may be used to mark airborne material in a plume. The unmanned aerial vehicle may store a macroscopic and/or microscopic tracer material. A sensor and/or control unit may detect a substance of interest in a plume. The sensor may be configured to detect multiple different substances sharing a particular characteristic. The unmanned aerial vehicle may be piloted along a gradient of increasing concentration of the substance of interest. The tracer material may be ejected into the plume. The tracer material may be configured to react and/or interact with the substance of interest.

Abstract: The proposed advanced multi-level protective system comprises two types of barriers, harmoniously complementing to each other: a portable barrier for the protection of individual houses at the height of the floods up to 0.8-0.9 meters, and more powerful protective quick-installable barriers, suitable for mechanized installation and resistant to higher water flows up to 1.2-2 meters. The proposed advanced protective system comprises a number of additional means capable of weakening against dangerous natural processes that give rise strong water flows, and these means can weaken these flows and increase the efficiency of proposed protective barriers.

Abstract: A remotely controlled flying apparatus (200) utilized for crop-spraying and crop monitoring purposes is disclosed. The present indention comprises a microcontroller (110) electronically coupled to an inertia measuring means (120). A controller (140) is connected to a computer (130) to allow a user to control movements of the flying apparatus (200). The computer (130) interprets control motions of the controller (140) and translates the motions to control signals. Upon translation, control signals are sent to the microcontroller (110) wirelessly and the control signals are modulated by a pulse modulation generator (150) before they are sent to a plurality of speed controllers (160a-160d) which are coupled to a plurality of motors (170a-! 70d). The controller (140) allows the user to control the motions of the flying apparatus remote! }, by changing respective rotational speeds of the plurality of motors (170a-170d). The controller (140) also allows the user to wirelessly control a pump (180) or a camera (190) or both through the computer (130) for spraying a pesticide or fertilizer fluid—when necessary or for crop monitoring purposes.
