  • Patent number: 10614964
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising one or more perovskite precursors dissolved in a mixture of solvents comprising: i. one or more polar aprotic solvents, each selected in such a way that it can, when used in absence of other components, dissolve said one or more perovskite precursors, ii. one or more linear alcohols of general formula CnH2n+1OH, wherein n is from 1 to 12, and iii. optionally, one or more acids wherein the polar aprotic solvent or mixture of polar aprotic solvents represent between 50 and 95 vol % of the mixture of solvents, wherein the vol % of the mixture of solvents not occupied by polar aprotic solvents is occupied for at least 90 vol %, preferably for 100 vol %, by the one or more linear alcohols, and the one or more acids if present.

  • Patent number: 8876039
    Abstract: A folding wing for an aircraft comprises first and second inboard wing sections, and first and second outboard wing sections. The first and second inboard wing sections rotate about a centerline hinge, and a centerline spring applies force to the first and second inboard wing sections to rotate the first and second inboard wing sections from a stowed position to a deployed position. At least one of the first and second inboard wing sections translates along the axis of rotation of the first and second inboard wing sections as they move from the stowed to the deployed positions. The first and second outboard wing sections rotate between the stowed and the deployed positions about first and second outboard hinges.
