International Classification:

C05F 11/00

Abstract:

Compositions with supramolecular structures for agricultural use include a biological compound, a surfactant, a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the biological compound, the surfactant, or both, and a solvent. Methods of treating a plant to improve nutrient assimilation, water uptake, yield, shelf life, or vigor include applying an agriculturally effective amount of the composition to the plant.

Abstract:

Embodiments are directed to a high speed, vertical lift aircraft that has vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability and is capable of converting to a forward-flight mode (e.g., prop-mode). The rotors blades can be folded for high speed forward flight propelled by a turbine engine (e.g., jet-mode). The rotor blades on the tail sitter aircraft have a “stop-fold” capability, which means that the rotor blades are stopped in flight and folded back to reduce drag. This allows the tail sitter aircraft to achieve a higher speed than a tilt-rotor aircraft. In some embodiments, the tail sitter aircraft achieves both rotor-borne flight and jet-borne flight by having two separate engines. An additional advantage of the tail-sitter aircraft versus a horizontally oriented fixed engine aircraft is that supplemental jet thrust can be used for take-off if desired.

International Classification:

B63B 35/50
B63B 35/00
B64F 1/28

Abstract:

An exemplary autonomous seabased resupply system includes an unmanned blob positioned in a water body, the blob containing fuel, a pump on the blob configured to pump the fuel through a conduit to a craft, and a ballast system operable to change a vertical position of the blob in the water body.
