System And Method For The Retrieval Of A Smaller Unmanned Aerial Vehicle By A Larger Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
US Patent:
8038090, Oct 18, 2011
Filed:
Mar 19, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/407231
Inventors:
Richard Wilson - Beverly MA, US
Adam Woodworth - Melrose MA, US
Adam Woodworth - Melrose MA, US
Assignee:
Aurora Flight Sciences Corporation - Manassas VA
International Classification:
B65D 3/00, B65D 47/00
US Classification:
244 1TD
Abstract:
A system and method are provided for using a first aircraft to retrieve a second aircraft. The first aircraft is typically larger than the second aircraft. A minimum airspeed of the first aircraft is typically greater than a maximum airspeed of the second aircraft. The first aircraft flies in a substantially circular pattern and extends a tow line, such that the tow line forms a substantially helical shape behind and below the first aircraft. Due to the helical shape, there is at least one point along the extended tow line at which the speed of the tow line is substantially equal to the speed of the second aircraft. The second aircraft can readily latch onto the tow line at that point, thereby minimizing potential damage otherwise caused by differential airspeeds.

Method Of Protecting Battery Cells And Batteries Which Contain Battery Cells And Protected Battery Cells And Batteries Which Contain Battery Cells
US Patent:
2011030, Dec 8, 2011
Filed:
Jun 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/154763
Inventors:
Jeffrey M. Smith - Cambridge MA, US
Richard A. Wilson - Beverly MA, US
Richard A. Wilson - Beverly MA, US
Assignee:
Bluefin Robotics Corporation - Quincy MA
International Classification:
H01M 2/02, H01M 2/10
US Classification:
429149, 429163, 296235
Abstract:
Coating a battery cell, or at least one battery cell in an assembly of battery cells or in a battery, or coating an assembly of battery cells or a battery which contains a battery cell or such an assembly with a fire-resistant coating is effective for protecting the cell, assembly, and battery and for retarding fire propagation.
