UV-Activated Luminescence/Colourimetric O2 Indicator by Andrew Mills, Cheryl Tommons, Raymond T. Bailey, M. Catriona Tedford, Peter J. Crilly

“…The indicator is blue- coloured in the absence of UV light, however upon exposure to UV light it not only loses its colour but also luminesces, unless and until it is exposed to oxygen, whereupon its original colour is restored. The initial photobleaching spectral (absorbance and luminescence) response characteristics in air and in vacuum are described and discussed in terms of a simple reaction scheme involving UV activation of the titania photocatalyst particles, which are used to reduce the redox dye, ITS, to its leuco form, whilst simultaneously oxidising the glycerol to glyceraldehye. …”

An Obstacle Avoidance Scheme Maintaining Connectivity for Micro-Unmanned Aerial Vehicles by Hyo Hyun Choi, HyunSoo Choi, Myungwhan Choi, Taeshik Shon, ByoungSeob Park

“…To achieve this goal, directly after the UAVs avoid the obstacle at a raised altitude above it, they fly at a higher altitude for a while and then descend to their original height. When this approach is judged to be inefficient because the height of the obstacle is too high, the UAVs divide into two groups and move to either side of it while continuing to fly at the same altitude, thereby avoiding the obstacle. …”
