A method is provided. An airship is maneuvered to a desired location and oriented with the thruster such that ambient wind is traveling in a direction that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage. The airflow from the ambient wind is straightened with the flow straightener to generate a substantially laminar flow. The turbine is engaged with the airflow generated by the ambient wind to generate electricity, and the electricity generated by the turbine is rectified with the rectifier and stored in the storage array.

A method is provided. A notice is received from a mobile device indicating that typing within a texting application has occurred substantially simultaneously as forward motion has been detected. The notice includes a timestamp of when the typing and the detection of forward motion occurred. A position of the mobile device is triangulated for the timestamp, and a determination is made as to whether the typing and the detection of forward motion occurred within a predetermined target area using at least a portion of data calculated from the step of triangulating.

Violation citation system and method

A method is provided. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is operated. A position of the UAV is determined while in flight, and a nonce is generated. A Merkel root is generated based at least in part on a timestamp and the position of the UAV. A current block is calculated based at least in part on a previous block, the Merkel root, and the nonce, and the current block, the timestamp, the nonce, the prior block, and the position of the UAV are transmitted.

Method and system for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle

A method is provided. A notice is received from a mobile device indicating that typing within a texting application has occurred substantially simultaneously as walking has been detected. The notice includes a timestamp of when the typing and the detection of walking occurred. A position of the mobile device is triangulated for the timestamp, and a determination is made as to whether the typing and the detection of walking occurred within a predetermined target area using at least a portion of data calculated from the step of triangulating.

Text-walking violation citation system and method

A method is provided. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be operated in an autonomous mode, performing course corrections from sensor data using an object detection processor and a decision processor. The UAV can then enter a hover mode if an override condition is present and enter a remote-control mode once the UAV is in the hover mode. In the remote-control mode, flight control commands can be received via the cellular module so as to position the UAV in response to the flight control command.

A jack up work platform is recited. The work platform comprises a hovercraft vessel outfitted with several jack up legs. The hovercraft can traverse environmentally sensitive terrain such a brackish and freshwater marshes without the need to dig canals that may cause or exacerbate salt water intrusion. Once the drilling or exploration site is reached, the jack up legs may be lowered, lifting the work platform above the surface. Once the vessel is secured on the legs, it may be used like a conventional oil field work platform for drilling, exploration, or construction jobs for which other work platforms or vessels are typically used. The deck of the hovercraft may serve as the work platform or the deck may be provided with a cantilevered work platform extension. The hovercraft will preferably be provided with typical oil field heavy machinery such as a crane for assembly of the legs, and drill stem as well as for work on other structures.

An educational device (10) for facilitating vocabulary development includes a display (11) for displaying reading text, a keyboard (12) and microprocessor (14). The reader selects target words or short phrases whose meaning may be unfamiliar. A context-sensitive sentence illustrating the meaning of the selected portion of the reading text and including the target word or phrase is provided and displayed for a first preselected period. The target word or phrase in the context-sensitive sentence is replaced with verification text and displayed for a second preselected period. A test function furnishes context-sensitive questions that check the reader's understanding of the correct meaning. Performance information is collected and presented upon request.

Device and method for optimal reading vocabulary development

This invention relates to substituted ethylenic imidazoles and triazoles, their enantiomorphs, acid addition salts and metal complexes as well as their methods of preparation and use as broad spectrum systemic fungicides useful in controlling phytopathogenic fungi such as barley net blotch (Helminthosporium teres), bean powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni), peanut cercospora (Cercospora arachidicola), and wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici race 15B-2).

Substituted ethylene imidazole and triazoles

This invention relates to 1 and 4-aralkyl-1,2,4-triazoles, their enantiomorphs, acid addition salts and metal salt complexes. This invention also relates to the method of preparation and use of these compounds. These compounds are highly active broad-spectrum systemic fungicides effective in controlling phytopathogenic fungi such as barley net blotch (Helminthosporium teres), grey mold (Botrytis cinerea), bean powdery mildew (Erysiphe polygoni), grape downy mildew (Plasmopora viticola), rice blast (Piricularia oryzae), tomato late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici race 15B-2).

Extendible and pivotable mirrors for vehicles which include in a first preferred embodiment, an extendible mirror attached to a piston mounted in a fluid-operated cylinder secured in the door or fender panel of a vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, the extendible mirror is extended outwardly of the vehicle fender or door panel by operation of the cylinder and is manually pivotally adjusted for rear-view observation by the driver. The extendible mirror may be retracted in a mirror well located in the fender or door panel when not in use. In a second preferred embodiment of the invention, a pivoting mirror is first pivoted from a mirror well to a desired position by operation of a fluid-operated cylinder and is subsequently manually adjusted to a functional location for rear viewing from inside the vehicle. As in the case of the extendible mirror, the pivotable mirror can be pivoted into a mirror well located in the fender or door panel of the vehicle when not in use.

This invention relates to novel heterocyclic fungicides which are effective in controlling a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi found in the four main classes of fungi namely Phycomycetes, Ascomycetes, Fungi Imperfecti, and Basidiomycetes. Certain of these compounds are especially effective in controlling sclerotial forming fungi such as Whetzelinia sclerotiorum=(Sclerotinia sclerotiorium) and Botrytis cinerea.
