UAP Expeditions Organization (UAPx) is a United States based non-profit research organization, dedicated to the scientific study of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon .
History
UAP Expeditions Organization (UAPx) was founded in August 2019 by former US Navy personnel Kevin Day and Gary Voorhis, who whilst on active duty witnessed the 2004 "Tic Tac" UAP events which were reported in the New York Times articles of 16 December 2017. Video footage of these events was released in the well publicised Pentagon UFO videos. The UAPx core team consists of professional physicists, NASA-trained astronauts, former NASA astrophysicists, military systems/electronic engineer analysts, Technical Writers, former USAF and US Navy personnel and electronic/mechanical engineers.
UAPx strives to resolve cases under investigation into one of five potential explanatory categories. This includes detection equipment systems based on hardware developed by Ron Olch of the UFO Data Acquisition Project (UFODAP), standard video capture, Forward-looking Infrared (FLIR) cameras, high energy particle detectors such as the CosmicWatch device developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG). Field investigations are often designed to achieve triangulation of observations.
Catalina Island Expedition - A Tear in the Sky
In 2021, UAPx mounted an investigatory expedition to Catalina Island, which was filmed by an independent production company (Omnium Media) as the subject of a documentary movie named A Tear in the Sky. The popular movie included commentary by well known physicist Micho Kaku and Star Trek actor William Shatner. Following the release of the A Tear in the Sky, the UAPx team discussed the expedition in depth and corrected some inaccuracies in the movie's representation of events, in a podcast entitled A Tear in the Sky - Review. Streamed live on YouTube on 4 May 2022, which had given rise to the movie producer's choice of title.
Whilst the movie presented a snapshot of the expedition for a popular audience, over 2TB of multi-sensor data. UAPx's visit to the ranch was televised in the History Channel's The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch TV show (Season 3, Episode 2).

picaBot is a domestic robotic floor cleaner that sweeps, vacuums, and disinfects floors simultaneously.
Description
picabot originated from the words pica and robot. Pica means a craving to eat substances that has no nutrition like dirt or chalk.
picabot eVo2, based on QQ2L by Metapo Inc, was launched in July 2008. It operated on rechargeable , comes with a docking station(home base), power adaptor, remote control and a spare filter. The robot would return for recharge automatically whenever it finished its job, the battery level is low or anytime commanded to return with a remote control.
Since Metapo first launched the US version of the robot called Infinuvo QQ1 in the US market sometime in 2003, it has undergone several upgrades including 3 major ones. Compare to QQ1, the QQ2L has improved much on its Artificial Intelligence(AI), battery run time and product reliability.
picaBot eVo2 has further improved on the floor disinfecting, the suspension system and battery pack of the robot compare to the US version of QQ2L. The result is better germicidal effect when it added photocatalysis to the UV tube mounted on the bottom of the robot. The improved suspension system allow the robot to traverse different type and height of floors with greater ease. Higher spec battery increase the robot's running time significantly.
Latest development
In early 2009, the issue of short run time has been resolved with the new battery supplier. The latest picaBot eVo2M which was launched in early February 2010 with a 2800mAH battery pack has received favorable feedback from users with many claiming run time of more than 100 minutes. Besides upgrading done in Malaysia, Corvan also introduced a 100% run-in program since 2008 where every robot is run a full cycle with all functions working. The objective of the upgrade and 100% run-in program is to improve the reliability of the robot.
In the 4th quarter of 2019, Corvan launched the new AI(Artificial Intelligence) Series, which includes 4 models: picaBot Lite, picaBot Lite+, picaBot Elite, and picaBot Elite+. The new AI(Artificial Intelligence) Series uses some of the more advanced technologies similar to those used in self-driving vehicles. It comes with Laser Distance Sensing(LDS), gyroscope, accelerometer, Infra Red sensors for wall and drop sensing. These enables the picaBot AI to deal with millions of scenarios all by itself, effectively planning and cleaning systematically. An integrated impeller churn out vacuuming power of 2250pa. The remote control via mobile app includes the area’s coverage map and real-time tracking, enabling users to track the robot and have full control via their mobile devices. Other app features include cleaning history, no-go line, in-app scheduling and zone cleaning. The "+" models include a microfibre mop pad attach to a 100ml water tank that is enough to wet mop a room of up to 600 sqft. Thus allow the picaBot to vacuum and mop simultaneously. The optional 400ml electronically controlled water tank is design to mop up to 2000sqft area. enabling robotic cleaner to sweep, vacuum and mop at the same time.

Chris Jarrett (born June 16, 1956) is an American pianist and composer who has lived in Germany since 1985. Chris Jarrett was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. as the youngest of five sons of the couple Daniel and Irma Jarrett. The parents divorced when Chris was still a toddler. All the children of the family were musical and three became professional musicians. His eldest brother is the pianist Keith Jarrett. He received private lessons with Vincenz Ruzicka (himself a student of Rosina Lhevinne) as a 13-year-old and continued his studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music (Ohio).
In 1985 he went to Germany studying at the Carl von Ossietzky University in Oldenburg. From 1988 to 1989, he taught at the college, where his career as a professional musician began. He first composed smaller pieces for piano, later added chamber music, ballets, film music, operas, oratorios and larger orchestral pieces. After his time in Oldenburg, he lived in Neuhäusel near Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate). In 2006 he moved to Paris, but soon returned to Germany and has since lived in the southern Palatinate.
From 1985 on, he has continued touring clubs, theaters and concert halls in different countries as a pianist. He has appeared in countries including most European states, Russia, the Ukraine and Canada, North Africa, Australia and Indonesia. He has appeared on stages alone or with musicians like Dhafir Youssef, Zoltan lantos, Luca Ciarla, Ramesh Shotham, Pascal Gully, Erwin Ditzner or Leszek Mozdzer. He also performs regularly in a duo with the drummer Erwin Ditzner and leads the quartet Four Free.
He performs primarily as a solo pianist, playing his own compositions with influences from classical music and jazz improvisation; but in 2014 he launched a career as an organist as well. He concertizes with his improvisational organ music, "New Journeys," in European cathedrals and on some renowned instruments.
Jarrett's wife is the classical pianist Martina Cukrov Jarrett with whom he also occasionally appears for piano duo concerts. Since 2019, Chris Jarrett teaches music history as a guest lecturer at the Johannes-Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany.
