Abstract: Systems and methods can determine a liquid flow in a spraying system. An amount of liquid that is output from the spraying system during a pump cycle is determined. A number of pump cycles that occur within a given amount of time are measured. The number of pump cycles are measured using an electronic speed controller (ESC). Additionally, the ESC indicates the number of pump cycles within a given amount of time within a threshold of precision. The amount of liquid flow in the spraying system is calculated based on the measured number of pump cycles and the determined amount of liquid that is output from the spraying system.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a housing forming a central body of the UAV and including an internal compartment, one or more electrical components disposed within the internal compartment and configured to affect operation of the UAV, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) disposed in an external compartment external to the central body. The IMU is isolated from the internal compartment such that a barometric pressure in the external compartment is independent of a barometric pressure in the internal compartment.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprises a central body, a plurality of arms that extend out from the central body, and a plurality of rotors. Each arm has one or more joints that segment the arm into a stem portion proximal to the central body and one or more branch portions distal to the central body. The one or more joints permit the one or more branch portions to move horizontally relative to the stem portion between an extended state and a compacted state. The one or more branch portions are arranged substantially parallel to a perimeter edge of the central body in the compacted state. Each rotor in the plurality is attached to the one or more branch portions.

Abstract: An apparatus and kit for assembling a mobile platform and methods for making and using the same. When associated with a mobile platform, a power device can be installed outside a control device coupled with the mobile platform. The power device can be located outside a housing enclosing the mobile platform and exposed to an external operating environment of the mobile platform. Heat generated by the power device can be dissipated without installation of additional cooling equipment. The power device and the control device can thus have lower operating temperatures and longer lifetimes. The power device can be installed on a module associated with the mobile platform for further improving heat dissipation of the power device. The module optionally can function as a shock absorber for preventing damage to the power device in case the mobile platform is involved in a crash.
