A baggage cart is disclosed. The baggage cart is used for security inspection in an airport, comprising: a cart body, comprising at least one compartment having a door; and a locking device, coupled to the compartment and configured to lock the compartment in response to receiving an indication signal.

Examples of non-invasive inspection of a mechanical system are described. In an example implementation, a first operational data from a detector mounted on an item being handled by a mechanical system is retrieved. The detector may include one or more sensors, and the first operational data is indicative of a current operational condition of the mechanical system. The first operational data can be compared with a corresponding historical first operational data and an error in the current operational condition of the mechanical system is determined based on the comparison. In response to the identification of the error, a notification is generated to perform a non-invasive inspection of the mechanical system.

A turnaround monitoring system and method are configured to monitor a turnaround of an aircraft at an airport. The turnaround monitoring system and method include receiving, by a turnaround analysis control unit, turnaround data regarding the aircraft at the airport, and determining, by the turnaround analysis control unit, a turnaround status of the aircraft based on the turnaround data.

The battery thermal management system includes a battery pack, a circulation subsystem, and a heat exchanger. The system can optionally include a cooling system, a reservoir, a de-ionization filter, a battery charger, and a controller.

Disclosed is a take-off and landing station (1) for a flying vehicle (2) for transporting people and/or loads, which flying vehicle takes off and lands vertically and comprises a flight module (3), having a plurality of drive units (17) arranged on a supporting framework structure (16) of the flight module (3), and a transportation module (4), which can be coupled to the flight module (3). The take-off and landing station (1) comprises a holding apparatus (21) having a plurality of gripper elements and support elements (11) for supporting, fixing and/or orienting the supporting framework structure (16) during take-off and landing of the flying vehicle (2) or the flight module (3).

Flight type determination unit determines a flight type of drone on the basis of parameters obtained by flight schedule obtainment unit. The flight type includes a travel type, which uses a destination as a parameter, a touring type, which uses a range in space (a touring range) as a parameter, and a hovering type, which uses a position in space (a hovering position) as a parameter. Allocation rule storage unit stores allocation rules for flight airspace corresponding to each of the plurality of flight types. Flight airspace allocation unit allocates flight airspace to drone on the basis of allocation rules corresponding to the flight type of that drone as indicated by the parameters obtained for that drone.

An unmanned aerial vehicle according to certain embodiments generally includes a chassis, a power supply mounted to the chassis, a control system operable to receive power from the power supply, at least one rotor operable to generate lift under control of the control system, a line having one end coupled to the chassis and an opposite free end, wherein the free end is positioned below the chassis, and a severing mechanism operable to sever the line under control of the control system.

The invention is intended for the organization of an automated process for spraying of liquid means of chemical treatment from unmanned vehicles, for example, in precise farming systems. The use of a replaceable, marked and hermetically sealed liquid subsystem in the spray device of the invention, along with an integrated self-diagnosis system, using compressed gas energy and a pressure regulator instead of standard pumps, reduces the weight of the spraying device, improves spraying accuracy, ensures personnel safety and accounting of the accumulated life resource of the main units of spraying devices. All this in combination enables to create fully automated spraying systems.
