    Abstract: A pipeline in a controller may be configured to interface between sensors and actuators. The pipeline may elements such as drivers, filters, a combine, estimators, controllers, a mixer, and actuator controllers. The drivers may receive sensor data and pre-process the received sensor data. The filters may filter the pre-processed sensor data to generate filtered sensor data. The combine may package the filtered sensor data to generate packaged sensor data. The estimators may determine estimates of a position of a vehicle based on the packaged sensor data. The controllers may generate control signals based on the determined estimates. The mixer may modify the generated control signals based on limitations of the vehicle. The actuator controllers may generate actuator control signals based on the modified control signals to drive the actuators.

    Abstract: The device is a DNARNAAvionics (DRAC) ClamSat platform modeled on Biomimetic, Object Oriented (OO) and Internet of Things (IOT) structures. This platform is for controlling the operational aspects of a nano Satellite termed a ClamSat.
    A ClamSat bi-valve shell uses nano hardware and OO software structures to process solar energy in a biomimetic system characterized by energy storage means. It is operationally managed by OO programs in a DNA/RNA messaging format. The Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a method of structuring a program by grouping related property-es and behaviors into individual objects. The ClamSat OO programs are structured in a class, object, and attribute model of OO DNA/RNA strands within modules will provide interfaces within and across components and subsystems and allow for adaptability and reusability over time. The device communicates wirelessly with a Command-and-Control host infrastructure.
    The DNA/RNA strand will have Internet of Things (IOT) touchpoints to provide information back to the ClamSat system for Command, Control and Data Handling within the platform.

    Abstract: A lightning induction system includes a plurality of flight vehicles 3 that fly between a lightning originating point 1 in the sky where lightning is generated and a ground surface 2. The flight vehicles 3 each include: a flight unit 10 that generates lift force and propulsion force; a conductor cable 20 that is engaged with the flight unit 10, extends downward, and has a predetermined length; and a weight unit 30 connected to the lower end of the conductor cable 20. The flight unit 10 is disposed in a Faraday cage 11. The Faraday cage 11 has a sphere shape, and the flight unit 10 is fixed by a support pillar 12 extending downward from the inner side of the top of the sphere.
