    Abstract: An apparatus for removing harmful gas components out of the earth's atmosphere is a free-flying autonomous lightweight aircraft with an onboard gas processing system including gas separation or extraction devices, and inlets and outlets connected to the devices. Solar cells and/or thermoelectric generators provided on the craft produce electrical energy to operate the individual devices. The system may include a cryogenic closed-loop circulation system that participates in liquefying the extracted gas components. The apparatus is preferably a lighter-than-air craft like a dirigible. A method of extracting harmful gas components from the atmosphere involves flying the apparatus at a prescribed altitude level and operating the gas processing system to remove the harmful gas component from the atmosphere, then returning the apparatus to earth to offload the liquefied stored harmful gas component.

    Abstract: An airship system according to the invention has an airship (110), a base station (120), and at least three measurement points. The airship (110) emits ultrasonic waves upon receiving an instruction from the base station (120). Measurement point units (S1-S3) receive the ultrasonic waves, and thereby measure distances from the airship (110) to the respective measurement points. An MPU that is incorporated in the base station (120) calculates a position of the airship (110). The base station (120) controls a route of the airship (110) based on the calculated position by sending a flight instruction to the airship (110). In this manner, an airship system can be provided that makes it unnecessary for an operator to pilot the airship and that can reduce the load weight and the power consumption of the airship.

    Abstract: An autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle detecting system for monitoring a geographic area includes an unmanned blimp adapted to hover in air, at least one camera mounted on the blimp to scan at least a portion of the geographic area, a location sensor to determine a location of the blimp, and a controller arranged in communication with blimp, the at least one camera, and the location sensor. The controller is configured to position the blimp at a desired location in the air based on inputs received from the location sensor, and monitor the geographic area based on the images received from at least one camera. The controller is also configured to detect a presence of an unmanned aerial vehicle within the geographic area based on the received images, and determine whether the detected unmanned aerial vehicle is an unauthorized unmanned aerial vehicle based on the received images.

    Abstract: A passive control system can be implemented that converts an active control system on a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to a passive control system. In the event that a system health of an active control system on the UAV is compromised, or in other instances, a passive control mechanism can be deployed to restore at least some in-flight stability. In various examples, the passive control system can monitor UAV attitude, velocity, and position to determine an active control system health. In other examples, the passive control system may receive an indication from the active control system itself. In some examples, the passive control mechanisms may include increasing an offset of a center of thrust and the center of gravity of the UAV. In other examples, the passive control mechanisms may include deploying control surfaces that induce a drag force that impedes translational and rotational movement.
