20110295569WIND ESTIMATION FOR AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE - The speed of the wind during operation of a UAV is estimated. In one example the speed of the wind is estimated by modeling an acceleration of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based on a measured ground speed of the UAV, determining an actual acceleration of the UAV with one or more sensors, and estimating the speed of the wind as an integral of a difference between the modeled acceleration and the actual acceleration.12-01-2011

20110278329Measuring Storage Container - A storage and measurement container for retaining a quantity of particulate food product and dispensing a measured serving thereof. The container comprises a rectangular storage volume with a removable lid, wherein food stuffs such as flour, spices and other products may be preserved for extended periods of time and likewise dispensed therefrom. The lid is attachable to the container, and comprises an interior volume and a closure blade. Within the lid is a means to adjust its interior volume by method of inserting or retracting a graduated piston, which changes a desired serving. The blade is first used to retract the piston prior to the assembly being rotated and food contents transferred from the container to the lid interior volume. The blade is then used to separate the container volume from the lid volume after the container has been rotated and prior to dispensing the lid contents. A lid door provides a means to dispense the product after the blade has been inserted. The device provides a convenient and simple food product container that allows dispensing of a measured quantity of product from a larger container without the use of a third party measuring device.11-17-2011
