Abstract: A dual-fluid injection system for an internal combustion engine, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) powered by an engine having the dual-fluid injection system. The dual-fluid injection system comprises a liquid fuel metering device and a fluid delivery device operating in tandem. A gas supply system comprising an air compressor and an air delivery path extending between the air compressor and the fluid delivery device is provided to supply pressurised air to the fluid delivery device. The gas supply system comprises an air compressor and an air delivery path extending between the air compressor and the fluid delivery device. A fuel supply system is adapted to deliver liquid fuel to the liquid fuel metering device. A fuel-air regulator is provided for regulating fuel pressure with reference to air pressure to establish and maintain a requisite pressure differential between the fuel pressure and the air pressure. The fuel-air regulator is located remotely from the fluid delivery device and more particularly in close proximity to the air compressor. In a preferred arrangement, the fuel-air regulator is mounted on or integrated with the air compressor or a part thereof.

Abstract: Described herein are systems for roof scan using an unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, some methods include capturing, using an unmanned aerial vehicle, an overview image of a roof of a building from above the roof; presenting a suggested bounding polygon overlaid on the overview image to a user; determining a bounding polygon based on the suggested bounding polygon and user edits; based on the bounding polygon, determining a flight path including a sequence of poses of the unmanned aerial vehicle with respective fields of view at a fixed height that collectively cover the bounding polygon; fly the unmanned aerial vehicle to a sequence of scan poses with horizontal positions matching respective poses of the flight path and vertical positions determined to maintain a consistent distance above the roof; and scanning the roof from the sequence of scan poses to generate a three-dimensional map of the roof.
