摘要:
A balloon (1) has a gas-filled bag (3), as well as a number of displays (5) which are present on the outside of the bag. The balloon (1) further has a frame (9) which is present on the outside of the bag and which defines a holding volume inside which said bag is housed. The bag and the frame have the same or substantially the same contour. The frame (9) has two parts (9A, 9B) of which an upper frame part (9A) is connected to the bag (3) and a lower frame portion (9B) is connected to anchoring cables (7). The two frame parts are connected to each other via a ball joint (11) having two portions co-operating with each other.

A mobile artificial cloud system comprising a mobile formation of horizontally extending panels which are elevated above the ground for providing shade. The panels can take the form of gas-filled, flattened, large balloons, or sheets of material that may be elevated by balloons or releasably connected to fixed structures. Furthermore, the panels can be formed of, laminated with, or covered by, panels of thin and light photovoltaic cells or any such product which would convert solar energy to electrical energy (electricity) for distribution through an electrical grid.

The general inventive technology in this application includes methods and apparatus for producing a modular balloon cluster. Such modular balloon clusters may include a plurality of helium-free balloons coupled with a central modular adaptor forming a cluster. In certain cases, multiple modular adaptors may be positioned on a display pole and may even be positioned in an offset manner forming a continuous spiral balloon cluster display.

부양체인 벌룬의 주위에 다수의 LED를 함유한 LED기판을 장치하거나, 또는 벌룬의 표면에 다수의 LED를 함유한 LED기판을 장치하여, 상기 LED기판을 빠른 속도로 회전하게 하여, 부양체인 벌룬에 설치된 각각의 LED가 점멸하면서 표현된 다양한 광고문안을 잔상효과에 의해 보게 되고, 다양한 광고문안을 동시에 사방에서 볼 수 있고, 발광하는 LED에 의해 광고 문안이 표현됨으로 야간이나 흐린 날씨에도 광고문안을 볼 수 있고, 자체추진에 의해 광범위한 지역을 비행하면서 광고를 할 수 있는 벌룬을 이용한 회전하는 광고장치를 제공하는 것이다.
摘要:
An intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system is disclosed including a ground station and one or more aerial vehicles. The aerial vehicles are autonomous systems capable of communicating intelligence data to the ground station and be used as part of a missile delivery package. A plurality of aerial vehicles can be configured to cast a wide net of reconnaissance over a large area on the ground including smaller overlapping reconnaissance areas provided by each of the plurality of the aerial vehicles.

Boards attached to the backs of seats, in front of windows on public transport vehicles as well as other public sites. There are two board models which are resistant and easy to operate for those who know the product, but they come equipped with devices which deters vandalism: after the removal of an Allen bolt, the seatback board latch needs to be moved correctly and a very slender ruler must also be used to remove the material from the board. A bag may be attached to the seatback board to distribute free promotional flyers and pamphlets.

The invention relates to controlling the shape of a flexible element (11). The invention is especially advantageous under conditions wherein the gravitational force is small and the atmospheric pressure is low, such as onboard a spacecraft or satellite (20) in orbit. The invention relates to a device with a flexible element, wherein the flexible, element comprises a plurality of magnetic elements (21), including at least one electromagnet, wherein each electromagnet comprises an electrical input for receiving electrical current, whereby the electrical energy to each electromagnet amongst said at least one electromagnet is individually controllable so that the shape of said flexible element is controllable by means of magnetic forces generated at said plurality of magnetic elements. The method moreover relates to a method of controlling the shape of a flexible element, an apparatus for returning a small spacecraft from orbit as well as use of the inventive device as a drogue parachute attached to a satellite in order to deorbit the satellite.
摘要:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung (1). Um eine Beleuchtungsvorrichtung (1) bereit zu stellen, die sehr einfach handhabbar ist und die Nachteile der Beleuchtungsvorrichtungen des Standes der Technik umgeht, wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass die Basiseinheit (2) wenigstens ein Leuchtmittel (5) und die Leuchteinheit (3) zumindest ein Reflektionsmittel (8) aufweisen. Hierdurch wird der Schwerpunkt einer solchen Beleuchtungsvorrichtung (1) nach unten in die Basiseinheit verlagert, wodurch die Aufstellung erleichtert wird. Mit Hilfe eines Gebläses kann eine flexible Ballonhülle beispielsweise aufgespannt werden, die durch das Leuchtmittel angestrahlt wird und das Licht entweder direkt oder indirekt über das Reflexionsmittel (8) an die Umgebung abstrahlt.
摘要:
A built structure having an upward facing surface; said built structure supporting a first image; said upward facing surface overlaid by said first image in the form of first upwardly facing advertising indicia; said first image arranged for visibility from craft passing over said built structure and so as to be discernable by observers in said craft when said craft is within a predetermined legibility distance of said built structure; and wherein revenue is derived from said upward facing surface. Preferably said first image comprises an active image in communication with a local controller whereby said image can' be replaced by loading a fresh image from a local controller; and where said local controller is in communication with a remote computer; said remote computer adapted to communicate at least said first image to said local controller. Also disclosed is a method of deriving revenue from advertising space, the method comprising the steps of: procuring an upward facing surface and obtaining signage rights to the surface; offering to a third party the surface as a platform for advertising indicia for a predetermined period of time; procuring the application of the advertising indicia to said surface in such manner as to be observable from craft passing over said surface at a predetermined legibility distance; and wherein said advertising indicia comprise an active image in communication with a local controller whereby said image can be replaced by loading a fresh image from a local controller; and where said local controller is in communication with a remote computer; said remote computer adapted to communicate said image to said local controller.
