Then, wherein, during a display time period, the UAVs concurrently execute the flight plans through operation of the propulsion devices and operate the display payloads based on the display controls. The display payloads each include a lighting assembly and a light controller. The output light is one of a two or more colored light streams, and each of the display payloads further may include a light diffuser with the output light being directed onto a surface of the light diffuser. The light diffuser may include a light diffusing screen extending about the lighting assembly. | 12-25-2014 |
20150032295 | VISUAL LOCALIZATION OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES BASED ON MARKER DETECTION AND PROCESSING - A method for locating markers in an image captured by a mobile device moving about an operating space. The method includes preprocessing an image to generate a set of image data, locating fixed features of markers by tracing edges of the fixed features, and extracting variable data payloads of each of the markers associated with the located fixed features. The fixed features of each of the markers may include a pair of parallel lines extending along opposite sides of a data area containing the variable data payload, and each of the lines extends a distance beyond each exposed end of the data area to avoid missing data when markers are not arranged orthogonally to the scan direction. The preprocessing involves rotating or skewing the image to provide rotated or skewed versions of the image to facilitate locating markers regardless of their angular orientation in the image. | 01-29-2015 |

20150338855 | CONTROLLING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES AS A FLOCK TO SYNCHRONIZE FLIGHT IN AERIAL DISPLAYS - A system for flock-based control of a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The system includes UAVs each including a processor executing a local control module and memory accessible by the processor for use by the local control module. The system includes a ground station system with a processor executing a fleet manager module and with memory storing a different flight plan for each of the UAVs. The flight plans are stored on the UAVs, and, during flight operations, each of the local control modules independently controls the corresponding UAV to execute its flight plan without ongoing control from the fleet manager module. The fleet manager module is operable to initiate flight operations by concurrently triggering initiation of the flight plans by the multiple UAVs. Further, the local control modules monitor front and back end communication channels and, when a channel is lost, operate the UAV in a safe mode. | 11-26-2015 |
20160050358 | Method and System for Multimedia Captures With Remote Triggering - There is provided a method, which includes providing a multimedia unit configured to capture still images and videos, receiving a triggering signal and capturing a still image and a video containing the still image, in response to the receiving of the triggering signal, where the video spans a window starting before and ending after the still image. | 02-18-2016 |

20140040587 | Power Savings Apparatus and Method for Memory Device Using Delay Locked Loop - Embodiments are directed to reduced power consumption for memory data transfer at high frequency through synchronized clock signaling. Delay locked loop (DLL) circuits are used to generate the synchronized clock signals. A DLL circuit consumes power as long as it is outputting the synchronized clock signals. A power saving apparatus and method are described wherein the DLL circuit is powered on when memory data access is active, while the DLL circuit is powered down when memory access is idle. | 02-06-2014 |

20150106548 | Managed-NAND With Embedded Random-Access Non-Volatile Memory - Systems and methods embed a random-access non-volatile memory array in a managed-NAND system to execute the boot code or other time-sensitive applications. By embedding this random-access non-volatile memory in the managed-NAND system, either on the memory controller chip or as a separate chip within the managed-NAND system package, an application may be read with fast initial access time, alleviating the slow access time limitations of NAND Flash technology. Depending on the size of the application, the system may be configured to read the whole application content or only a time-critical portion from this embedded random-access non-volatile memory array. | 04-16-2015 |
