Abstract: The invention relates to cushioned articles selected from items of footwear, cushioned seating, pillows, mattresses, beds, with air or gas pockets, inflatable air beds, orthopaedic support devices, orthotic insoles, soft robotic devices, safety headwear, safety body wear, body armour, crumple zones in vehicles, pneumatic deformable crash structures or barriers, and spring systems with multiple spring rates, which have improved compliance and shock absorbance characteristics. The cushioned articles include one or more cushioning elements which comprise pressurised gas contained within one or more primary pressurised gas storage chambers, wherein the bulk modulus, K, of the pressurised gas inside said pressurised chambers is <1. The pressurised gas in such cushioned articles is preferably in fluid communication with one or more gas adsorbent materials.

Abstract: A new and distinct Delphinium elatum plant named ‘COADELPSUR’ which is characterized by basal foliage with compound terminal racemes held above the foliage, flowers loosely held on long pedicels, multicolored flowers with an abundance of tepaloids, and the stability and uniformity of these traits through successive cycles of asexual propagation.

Abstract: A new and distinct Delphinium hybrid plant named ‘COADELSAM’ which is characterized by basal foliage with compound terminal racemes held above the foliage with flowers held on long pedicels, flowers with an abundance of tepaloids, nearly-white tepals and tepaloids with violet-blue margins and a yellow-green central blotch near the apex, and the stability and uniformity of these traits through successive cycles of asexual propagation.
