    Abstract: The method and system may be used to control the movement of a remote aerial device in an incremental step manner during a close inspection of an object or other subject matter. At the inspection location, a control module “stabilizes” the remote aerial device in a maintained, consistent hover while maintaining a close distance to the desired object. The control module may retrieve proximal sensor data that indicates possible nearby obstructions to the remote aerial device and may transmit the data to a remote control client. The remote control module may determine and display the possible one or more non-obstructed directions that the remote aerial device is capable of moving by an incremental distance. In response to receiving a selection of one of the directions, the remote control module may transmit the selection to the remote aerial device to indicate the next movement for the remote aerial device.

    Abstract: A tethering system for a remote-controlled device includes a tether line having a first end adapted to be connected to a ground support and a second end adapted to be connected to the remote-controlled device. The system further includes an anchor-point disposed between the first and second ends of the tether line, the anchor point having an eyelet for securing the tether line and allowing the tether line to slide through the eyelet during use. The anchor-point and eyelet enable the tether line to flex or bend and the remote-controlled device to maneuver one or more of over or around the target area without interfering with any nearby obstructions.

    Abstract: The following relates generally to dryer duct safety. In some embodiments, a system may include an airflow sensor configured to measure airflow in a dryer duct. The system may further include one or more processors configured to receive an operation status signal of a dryer, determine an airflow level based upon an airflow signal received from the airflow sensor, and determine that a clog exists in the dryer duct based upon: (i) the airflow level and (ii) the operation status signal. The system may further include a robotic component to clean the dryer duct upon determining a clog exists.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for detecting and responding to a likelihood of a heating system malfunction. The method may include: (1) receiving home telematics data associated with a structure, wherein the home telematics data includes local weather data for an area associated with the structure; (2) receiving operation data regarding a functionality of a heating system associated with the structure; (3) diagnosing, based upon at least the home telematics data and the operation data, a potential malfunction in the heating system; (4) determining, based upon at least the diagnosis, that a threshold likelihood of bursting is exceeded for one or more pipes; and (5) transmitting an indication to a user associated with the structure that the one or more pipes are likely to burst.
