Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for a suspended load control system which controls tension on a winch control line in order to decrease latency between movement or rotation of the load control system and the load and reduce a reaction time between movement or rotation of the load control system and the load.

Coupling for suspended load control apparatus, system, and method

A bidirectional thrust assembly comprises a motor, a selective power transfer mechanism, and a plurality of fans; wherein a change in direction of rotation of the motor causes the selective power transfer mechanism to change a torque transfer among the plurality of fans, wherein the fans may be opposing, and wherein the fans may be unidirectional. The bidirectional thrust assembly may be used in or by a plurality of craft or with respect to other objects which may need to be maneuvered, included suspended load control systems, vertical takeoff and landing craft, watercraft.

Bidirectional thrust apparatus, system and method

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for and related to dynamic control of torque and or lateral thrust applied to a load suspended load on a suspension cable to thereby achieve a target orientation or position or to otherwise move with reduced self-induced cyclic motion, with better behavior, and or to respond to changes in the load or disturbance forces.

Apparatus, system, and method to control torque or lateral thrust applied to a load suspended on a suspension cable

Load control apparatuses, systems and methods to control a location, orientation, or rotation of a suspended load by imparting thrust with thrusters. The load control apparatuses, systems and method comprise an on-board power supply, a remote power supply, and a power control module. The power control module may distribute a pulse power to the thrusters from the on-board power supply and or from a combination of the on-board power supply and the remote power supply, may manage power between the on-board power supply and the remote power supply, and may to recharge the on-board power supply with the remote power supply.

On-board power and remote power for suspended load control apparatuses, systems, and methods

Physical and logical components of a long line loiter control system address control of a long line loiter maneuver conducted beneath a carrier, such as a fixed-wing aircraft. Control may comprise identifying, predicting, and reacting to estimated states and predicted states of the carrier, a suspended load control system, and a long line. Identifying, predicting, and reacting to estimated states and predicted states may comprise determining characteristics of state conditions over time as well as response time between state conditions. Reacting may comprise controlling a hoist of the carrier, controlling thrusters of the suspended load control system, and or controlling or issuing flight control instructions to the carrier so as not to increase the response time and or to avoid a hazard.

Long line loiter apparatus, system, and method

Load stability systems and methods for stabilizing swinging motions of suspended loads. The load stability systems include a fully automated, self-powered device that employs thrust to counteract and control lateral and rotational motion of an external load. The device is a temporary installment on the load, cable, or boom, and is agnostic to the platform from which it is suspended.

Suspended load stability systems and methods

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods to deploy and stow a deployable equipment to and from a hoist, to control a load on a suspension without transfer of torque to the suspension cable, for the deployable equipment to obtain data and electrical services from a dock of a carrier, and for the deployable equipment to control the hoist, such as a reel of a hoist, to control a z-axis of a terminal end of the suspension cable. Control of the z-axis may be, for example, to control an elevation of a load, such as relative to carrier, ground, or an objective or target, to control a tension on or of suspension cable. Control of the z-axis may be, for example, to control a rate of ascent or descent of a terminal end of suspension cable.

Hoist and deployable equipment apparatus, system, and method

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods to enhance control of a drone-load system, including through drone thrusters or load thrusters.

Control of drone-load system method, system, and apparatus

Load control apparatuses, systems and methods to control a location, orientation, or rotation of a suspended load by imparting thrust vectors to the suspended load or to a structure that holds the load. The load control apparatuses, systems and method may be integrated into a structure that holds a load, such as a rescue litter. The load control apparatuses, systems, and methods may be modular. The modular load control apparatuses, systems, and methods may be secured to a load or to a structure that holds the load.

Integrated and modular suspended load control apparatuses, systems, and methods

An apparatus, system, and or method to influence at least one of a position, orientation, or motion of a load suspended by a suspension cable from a carrier, comprising a housing secured to at least one of a single-axis control moment gyroscope or a multi-axis control moment gyroscope.

Control moment gyroscope hoist stabilization system, method, and apparatus

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods for and related to dynamic control of torque and or lateral thrust applied to a load suspended load on a suspension cable to thereby achieve a target orientation or position or to otherwise move through use of a hyperparameter, wherein the hyperparameter comprises a normalized moment of inertia, wherein the hyperparameter comprises a ratio of a force command to a thruster and an angular acceleration.

Horizontal translation, pendular motion, and or yaw control of a load suspended from a carrier with a suspended load control system, wherein control input to the suspended load control system may be provided through the use of more than one remote pendant.

Multiple remote control for suspended load control equipment apparatus, system, and method

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, and methods to determine, communicate, and/or respond to state information of at least one of a suspended load control apparatus, carrier, or load suspended by a cable from the carrier, wherein response to the state information may be to control at least one of the suspended load control apparatus, carrier, or load suspended by a cable from the carrier.
