Abstract: A method of advancing a guidewire having an imaging device disposed thereon within a cavity of a body includes placing a guidewire into a cavity of a body, said guidewire having an image sensor disposed about a guide member on a distal end of the guidewire and a plurality of power lines operatively coupled to the guide member and the image sensor. At least two power lines of the plurality of power lines are disposed on opposing sides of the guide member and extend from the distal end of the guidewire to a proximal end of the guidewire. As the guidewire is advanced through the body cavity, the distal end of the guidewire is positioned by pulling one of the at least two power lines while maintaining the position of the other of the at least two power lines.

Abstract: A system for detecting and neutralizing a target aerial vehicle (104a, 104b) comprises a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, 102a-c) comprising a flight body (310) and a flight control system (133) supported about the flight body operable to facilitate flight of the UAV, and an aerial vehicle countermeasure (134a, 134b) supported by the flight body. The system can comprise an aerial vehicle detection system (100) comprising at least one detection sensor (106) operable to detect a target aerial vehicle while in¬ flight, and operable to provide command data to the counter-attack UAV to facilitate interception of the target aerial vehicle by the counter-attack UAV. Upon interception of the target aerial vehicle, the counter-attack UAV is operable to disrupt operation of the detected target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle capture countermeasure, thereby neutralizing the target aerial vehicle. The counter-attack UAV and systems may be autonomously operated. Associated systems and methods are provided.

The aerial vehicle capture countermeasure can comprise a net deployable from the counter-attack UAV, and a captured target aerial vehicle can be delivered to a particular location. A system for aerial neutralization of a detected target aerial vehicle comprises an aerial vehicle detection system comprising at least one detection sensor operable to detect the target aerial vehicle, and operable to provide command data (including location data) to at least one counter-attack UAV for neutralization of the target aerial vehicle. The counter-attack UAV and systems may be autonomously operated. Associated systems and methods are provided.

Abstract: A system for neutralization of a target aerial vehicle comprises one or more counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and an aerial vehicle capture countermeasure tethering the counter- attack UAV(s) to a structure or ground. The counter-attack UAV(s) are operable to capture and neutralize the target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle capture countermeasure (e.g., a net). The system comprises an on-board aerial vehicle detection system, and optionally an external aerial vehicle detection system, each detection system having at least one sensor configured to detect the target aerial vehicle in flight. The counter-attack UAV(s) and the associated detection systems may be autonomously operated for detecting and neutralizing a target aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle capture countermeasure can be moved from a stowed position to a deployed position in response to coordinated flight of the counter-attack UAV(s). Associated methods and systems are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for scanning a predetermined area of an aerial landscape with one or more cameras for an airborne target and capturing a plurality of images of the airborne target with the one or more cameras, the one or more cameras in communication with a processor. Microscopic temporal variations between the plurality of images of the airborne target are amplified including a change in the geometry of a two-dimensional image of the airborne target.

Abstract: A system for neutralizing target aerial vehicles (104a, 104b) comprises a projectile launching mechanism (200a, 200b) that launches a projectile that supports a counter-attack unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, 102a, 102b) having an aerial vehicle countermeasure (134). The counter-attack UAV can be folded in the projectile (201a, 201b), and operable to unfold when separated from the projectile. The system comprises an aerial vehicle detection system (100) comprising a detection sensor (106a) that detects a target aerial vehicle. Upon detection, the projectile launching mechanisms launches the projectile, and the counter-attack UAV is thereafter separated from the projectile to operate in flight to neutralize the detected target aerial vehicle with the aerial vehicle countermeasure. The projectile launching mechanism can comprise a movable platform (203) comprising a plurality of projectiles and counter-attack UAVs, and can comprise a detection sensor to detect target aerial vehicles.

Abstract: A robotic end-effector for magnetic and mechanical finger grip. The end-effector has one or more magnets coupled to a palm, the one or more magnets having a magnet face to magnetically attach to a ferromagnetic object. The magnet faces define a magnetic engagement surface with the magnet and the palm disposed on a proximal side of the magnetic engagement surface. A finger, pivotally coupled to the palm, grips the ferromagnetic object or another object. The finger has a deployed configuration in which it is disposed distally with respect to the magnetic engagement surface and opposes the palm or the magnet face to grip the ferromagnetic object or the other object. The finger has a retracted configuration in which it is disposed proximally with respect to the magnetic engagement surface along with the magnet and the palm, and in which the magnetic face forms an outermost contact surface.
