Techniques and examples pertaining to single channel line-of-sight (LOS) communication are described. The transmitting end of the LOS communication involves direct modulation of a light emitted from a light emitter. The receiving end of the LOS communication involves receiving a video stream of the light emitter emitting the light, wherein the video stream comprises a plurality of video frames that are continuous in time. The receiving end of the LOS communication also involves converting the video stream to a binary string comprising a plurality of binary bits. Each of the binary bits corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of video frames, and the binary string contains a repeated binary pattern representing a message being conveyed. The receiving end of the LOS communication also involves extracting the binary pattern from the binary string and then decoding the binary pattern to obtain the message.

Embodiments disclosed herein are related to a method that can include displaying first content on a media display, receiving first data generated from or determined by an Internet of Things (IoT) device, and displaying second content in response to receiving the first data from the IoT device.

A power driver of an unmanned aerial vehicle is disclosed and includes a main body, a fluid actuation system and a controller, wherein the fluid actuation system includes a driving zone, a converging chamber, a plurality of valves and a fluid discharging zone. The driving zone includes a plurality of flow guiding units which arranged in series, parallel or series-parallel, each of the flow guiding unit generates an inside pressure gradient after being actuated, so as to inhale fluid and diverge fluid by guiding channels, and flow into the convergence chamber for storage, wherein the amount of the fluid transported is controlled by the plurality of valves disposed in the connection channels through the controller, and fluid is finally converged to the fluid discharging zone for discharging the specific transportation amount of fluid.

A rotorcraft is described and includes an inertial measurement unit (“IMU”) sensor mounted to the rotorcraft, the IMU sensor oriented relative to the rotorcraft such that a roll attitude of the rotorcraft occurs about a Z-axis and has a range of ±90 degrees, a pitch attitude of the rotorcraft occurs about an X-axis and has a range of ±180 degrees, and a yaw attitude of the rotorcraft occurs about a Y-axis and has a range of ±180 degrees.

A flying object control system includes a flying object, and a setting base that performs holding of the flying object and releasing the holding, the flying object and the setting base being communicable with each other. The flying object controls, upon receiving a takeoff instruction, thrust for taking off from a predetermined initial position, and when the thrust becomes greater than or equal to a first threshold, the flying object notifies the setting base of a start notification. Upon receiving the start notification, the setting base releases the holding of the flying object and notifies the flying object of a release completion notification. Upon receiving the release completion notification, the flying object takes off from the predetermined initial position by controlling the thrust in such a manner that the thrust becomes a second threshold smaller than the first threshold.

The invention further relates to a system for a combat game, the system comprising a drone (1) comprising a weapon (3), and at least one opponent drone (2) comprising an opponent weapon (4), wherein the drones are equipped with radio control means, signal transmitters, signal receivers and cameras. The drones and the system are characterised in that the opponent signal transmitters (6) disposed on the opponent drone (2) and on an opponent weapon (4) are in control connection, via a control unit (15) of the drone (1), with the signal receivers (7) of the drone (1), the connection being adapted for transmitting the signals generated through targeting by an opponent player (26) utilizing a display (22) of the opponent player as control means, and for controlling the rotational speed, position, and operation of the light source (9), sound source (11), and smoke source (13) disposed on the drone (1), and the motors (19) of the propellers (17) thereof, and in that the signal transmitters (5) disposed on the drone (1) and on a weapon (3) are in control connection, via a control unit (16) of the opponent drone (2), with the opponent signal receivers (8) of the opponent drone (2), the connection being adapted for transmitting the signals generated through targeting by a player (25) utilizing a player's display (21) as control means, and for controlling the rotational speed, position, and operation of the opponent light source (10), opponent sound source (12), and opponent smoke source (14) disposed on the opponent drone (2), and the opponent motors (20) of the opponent propellers (18) thereof.

An information processing system includes: an information processing device configured to control a speed of a moving object that autonomously moves along a preset trajectory; and an input device including an input unit that receives an input from a user and configured to supply an input value input from the user and used to control the speed of the moving object to the information processing device.

An information collection device according to the present disclosure is an information collection device that causes a small unmanned aerial vehicle to fly from a departure point to a destination and collects information at the destination using the small unmanned aerial vehicle, and includes a control device that causes the small unmanned aerial vehicle to fly from the departure point to the destination by transmitting a control signal to the small unmanned aerial vehicle by wireless information communication via a vehicle when determination is made that the wireless information communication is able to be executed with the small unmanned aerial vehicle via the vehicle located between the departure point and the destination.

Systems, apparatus, and methods for remote monitoring and piloting of a ship. Examples include a method of delivering remote monitoring equipment to the ship and establishing a data and communication exchange for shore-based pilotage of the ship from a remote location. The equipment usable for remote monitoring and communication between the ship and pilot (at the remote location) is stored in a package and delivered to the ship by unmanned aircraft. The package is distributed and installed by ship's crew to specified locations. The remote pilot while located ashore has access to all the information that is needed to assist in safe navigation of the ship by exchanging data and/or streaming real time video from the ship to shore. Additionally, the system may extract navigational data from the ship and transmit it to shore in real-time.
