796 results about "Microchiroptera" patented technology

Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera; with their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals naturally capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more manoeuvrable than birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and arguably the smallest extant mammal, is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is 29–34 mm (1.14–1.34 in) in length, 15 cm (5.91 in) across the wings and 2–2.6 g (0.07–0.09 oz) in mass. The largest bats are the flying foxes and the giant golden-crowned flying fox, Acerodon jubatus, which can weigh 1.6 kg (4 lb) and have a wingspan of 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in).

Power source system for electric powered vehicle and control method thereof

An electric powered vehicle is equipped with a main battery for storing electric power input to and output from a motor, and an auxiliary battery as a power source for an auxiliary system including a control system. A DC / DC converter converts an output voltage of the main battery to a level of an output voltage of the auxiliary battery. During operation, a BAT-ECU monitors states of charge of the main battery and the auxiliary battery and controls operation / stop of the DC / DC converter. When the electric powered vehicle is in a key-off state (running stop state), the BAT-ECU is intermittently operated, while an external charging system and a vehicle running system are stopped.

Method for determining optimal route of airway of unmanned aerial vehicle

The invention provides a method for determining an optimal route of the airway of an unmanned aerial vehicle. According to the method, the threat of an operation area is more sufficiently considered, more efficient global searching ability is achieved and a more accurate flying route is provided for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The method comprises the following steps: by adopting a quantum encoding mode, changing the state of a basic quantum bit by using a quantum rotating gate and a quantum not-gate, and further updating the position of a bat individual. Because of the diversity of the quantum state, a quantum bat algorithm (QBA) is relatively high in global searching ability and an available or even optimal route avoiding the threat and limiting conditions can be found for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The experiment result shows that the quantum bat algorithm is an effective and stable method for solving the airway route planning problem of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the search performance of the quantum bat algorithm is superior to that of other swarm intelligence algorithms.

Bat weight and protector

A bat weight and protector which is a removable soft-sided weight and protector for the attachment to a baseball or softball bat for the purpose of warming up a batter in the on-deck circle, prior to entering the batter's box and facing the pitcher. The bat weight and protector is comprised of a soft weighted cylindrical portion made of rubber or other suitable material, a retainer ring and webbing straps, which at one end are equally spaced around a retainer ring and stitched thereto, and at the opposite end are looped around the cylindrical portion and stitched thereto. A knob end of a bat is passed through the cylindrical portion of the bat weight and protector and further through the retainer ring until the tapered portion of the bat prevents further travel. In this position, the cylindrical portion of the bat weight and protector is over and about a barrel of the bat. This position maximizes the batter's swing resistance during warm-ups and protects the striking surface of the bat.

Swing analysis method using a sweet spot trajectory

A method for analyzing sensor data from baseball swings (or swings in similar sports) that transforms data into a reference frame defined by the bat orientation and velocity at impact. The trajectory of the sweet spot of the bat is tracked through the swing, and is analyzed to generate metrics describing the swing. A two-lever model of the swing may be used to model the effects of body rotation and wrist rotation. Data may be analyzed to identify relevant events during the swing such as start of downswing, commit (wrist release), on-plane, peak bat speed, and impact. Illustrative swing metrics derived from the sweet spot trajectory, the swing plane reference frame, and the two-lever model include: forward bat speed, on-plane rotation, hinge angle at commit, hinge angle at impact, body rotation ratio, body tilt angle, and swing plane tilt angle.
