A system for an unmanned aerial vehicle can include an altitude control system, which further includes a compressor assembly, a valve assembly, and an electronics control assembly. The compressor assembly may include a compressor housingthat includes a compressor inlet, an outlet, and a cavityextending therethrough and joining the inlet to the outlet. A diffusermay be coupled to the compressor housing. A motor housingmay be disposed within the central cavity at the inlet of the compressor housing, and a compressor motormay be disposed within the motor housing. An impellerdisposed within the compressor housing may be coupled to a driveshaftfor rotation therewith. The valve assembly may be coupled to an openingof the compressor inlet. The valve headmay be configured to move into and away from the inlet opening so as to change a size of the circumferential area of the inlet opening.

Altitude control system

There is disclosed: a wood adhesive composition comprising a protein and a poly(glycidyl ether); a method for using the wood adhesive composition to make a composite wood product; and composite wood products made using the wood adhesive composition.

Wood adhesive compositions comprising proteins and poly (glycidyl ether), and uses thereof

An altitude control system for an unmanned aerial vehicle includes a compressor assembly defining a plenum therein, a passive valve assembly coupled to a first portion of the compressor assembly and in fluid communication with the plenum, and an active valve assembly coupled to a second portion of the compressor assembly and in fluid communication with the plenum. A method of controlling an altitude of an unmanned aerial vehicle and an unmanned aerial vehicle are also provided.

Centrifugal compressor based altitude control device with active valve system

A system for an unmanned aerial vehicle can include an altitude control system, which further includes a compressor assembly, a valve assembly, and an electronics assembly. The compressor assembly may include a driveshaft and a bearing assembly configured to rotate the driveshaft. The driveshaft may be formed from a first material and a compressor housing may be formed from a second material. The first and second materials may have different rates of thermal expansion. A dynamic preloading mechanism, such as a flexible plate, may be provided within the compressor assembly to exert a preloading force on the bearing assembly. Throughout the duration of the flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the preloading mechanism can continually compensate for differences in rates of thermal expansion between the first and second materials throughout.

Dynamic axial preloading with flexure plate

A valve assembly for use with an unmanned aerial vehicle is provided and includes an inlet tube, a shuttle, a base plate, a screw assembly, and a spacer block. The shuttle is partially disposed within the inlet tube and is configured to be placed in a first position where the shuttle abuts the inlet tube and a second position where the outer surface is disposed in spaced relation to the inlet tube. The base plate extends between a first end portion that defines a cavity therein and a second end portion. The screw assembly is disposed within the cavity of the base plate and is coupled to a portion of the shuttle. The spacer block is interposed between the second end portion of the inlet tube and the first end portion of the base plate and is configured to maintain the inlet tube and the base plate in spaced relation.

Active valve for throttling ascent rate

An aqueous binder composition is provided for use in the formation of fiber insulation and non-woven mats that comprises a reaction product of one or more Liquid Polyol Monomers; itaconic acid, its salts or anhydride; and a C4 to C6 polyol selected from the group consisting of pentaerythritol, trimethylol propane, neopentyl glycol, and mixtures thereof. The molar ratio of the combined alcohols (Liquid Polyol Monomers and C4 to C6 polyols) to itaconic acid is at least 2:1, wherein the molar ratio of Liquid Polyol Monomers to C4 to C6 polyols is from about 1:1 to about 30:1.

Aqueous binder comprising reaction products of itaconic acid

A motor housing includes a core and a shell having an annular body. The annular body is configured to secure a stator of a motor therein. The annular body includes first and second ends defining first and second openings, respectively. The annular body defines a slot extending along a length of the annular body. The slot is coterminous with the first opening. The core is configured to be in registration with the shell. The core is configured to rotatably support a rotating assembly of the motor including an output shaft. The core includes a base portion, an annular ring, and a guide arm interconnecting the base portion and the annular ring. The core is in registration with the shell when the guide arm is received in the slot of the annular body of the shell to form an interlocking structure.

Bi-metal motor housing for high heat transfer with dimensional stability

A heat transfer system includes a first component formed of a thermally conductive material and a second component including a surface adapted to capture stray photons to provide heat to the electronic device. The first component is secured and thermally coupled with an electronic device. In particular, the first component includes first and second layers. The first component is in superposed relation with the second component.
