The novel bladder systems and tie down systems set forth herein provide systems and apparatuses that mitigate or prevent damage, such as tipping over/capsizing, of a watercraft stored on shore or an aircraft secured to a ground surface during adverse wind, rising water, or storm events. Further, novel apparatuses and methods for storing a watercraft using the bladders as cushioning or holding devices when installed within a cavity, whether the cavity is created by digging a hole or building an enclosing berm, provides additional stability and security for the watercraft during adverse wind, rising water, or storm events.

Systems and methods for operating UAVs relative to a field includes a UAV are provided. In several embodiments, UAV includes a body, a controller supported on the body, and at least one support element coupled to and extending from the body. In several embodiments, the at least one support element is configured to support the body relative to a support surface of the field when the UAV is in a landed condition on the field. In several embodiments, at least one anchoring device is provided in operative association with the UAV and configured to penetrate through the support surface of the field to anchor the UAV relative to the field when the UAV is in the landed condition.

The utility model relates to a pluggable two-way tire slip stopper, which is used for solving the problem of sliding when a vehicle is parked. The pluggable two-way tire slip stopper includes two slip stoppers, the back portions of the two slip stoppers are plugged together via a slot in a protrusion manner, the two slip stoppers are identical in structure, and the slip stopper includes the anti-slip portion of a front end and the plug portion of a rear end, the anti-slip portion is integrally formed with the plug portion, the plug portion is in the shape of a square, the plug portion is a triangular column shape with an obliquely upward surface, and the anti-slip portion is provided with a plurality of anti-slip belts, and the anti-slip belt is disposed at a certain distance, the upper surface of the anti-slip belt is inclined, and the anti-slip belt is provided thereon with a plurality of anti-slip protruding strips.

The two slip stoppers of the utility model can be combined and plugged together, can be used in combination, and uses a two-wheeled vehicle to prevent slippage, whose effect is very good. The utility model has the advantages of scientific design, convenient use and good use value. The utility model is light and durable, convenient to carry, safe and convenient.

A flying machine storage container is provided that comprises multiple charging stations and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism is configured to secure flying machines in the charging stations and securely close charging circuits between the storage container and the flying machines. A system for launching flying machines is also provided. The system comprises two regions and a transition region between the two regions. The two regions each constrain the positioning of a flying machine and the transition region enables a flying machine to move from the first region to the second region to reach an exit. A flying machine having sufficient performance capabilities will be able to successfully launch. Centralized and decentralized communication architectures are also provided for communicating data between a central control system, multiple storage containers, and multiple stored flying machines stored at each of the storage containers.

A method of citing a parking violation includes locating a removable locking device around a wheel of the vehicle. The locking device is located to permit the mobility of the vehicle but act as a nuisance when in motion. A driver is permitted to settle the infraction through multiple ways wherein the driver pays a fee for the infraction and a core fee for the locking device. The core fee may be refunded upon successful return of the locking device to a collection unit. The act of ticketing and securing the vehicle are done in a concurrent set of steps.

Liquid dispensing assemblies including adhesive anchoring assemblies configured to adhere to a support surface external to a device such as a vehicle. An air vehicle includes (a) a fluid adhesive container assembly detachably attached to the air vehicle, wherein the fluid adhesive container assembly comprises: (i) an adhesive container comprising fluid adhesive; and (ii) one or more fibers, wherein the one or more fibers are configured, or a brush of fibers, or a fabric of fibers, is configured to conduct the fluid adhesive and to structurally support an adhesive bond between the one or more fibers and a surface; and (b) means for dispensing the fluid adhesive from the fluid adhesive container, to the one or more fibers.

An automatic wheel chock assembly for parking a trailer includes a trailer that has a plurality of axles, a frame and air brakes. Each of the axles has a wheel that is rotatably coupled thereto. A chock unit is rotatably coupled to the trailer and the chock unit is operationally coupled to the air brakes. The chock unit is actuated into a deployed position when the air brakes are turned on. Thus, the chock unit lowers a stop between the wheel on each of a respective pair of the axles for inhibiting the trailer from rolling. The chock unit is actuated into a stored position when the air brakes are turned off thereby facilitating the wheel on each of the respective pair of axles to roll.
