Abstract: Disclosed are methods and wearable electronic devices for dispensing substances, it being possible to release the substances by means of a diffuser or atomiser system. The device, which has a function that allows the wearing of swappable capsules containing substances, comprises specific connectors that allow the complete modularity of the capsules, of the display/control pane and of the straps, thereby permitting the device to be fully personalised and optimised. The tightening/loosening and attachment system allows the device to be secured to a body automatically and intuitively. Of note is the inclusion of motors, sensors, readers and antennas in the system, which allow sensory impact to be integrated into the use experience (emission of visual, haptic or olfactory signals). In addition, communication and identification systems integrated into the elements provide interoperability between same, with other devices and between users.

Abstract: A method using an alkaline sodium silicate composition to inhibit the toxic effects of venom and treat venomous bites and stings.

Abstract: A modified sodium silicate composition, and methods of treating cancer and viral infections utilizing the modified sodium silicate composition (Na8.2Si4.4H9.7O17.6). Na8.2Si4.4H9.7O17.6 can be administered to increase the nitric oxide concentration in the body, effect apoptosis, increase NO formation by neutrophils. Inhibit cell mutations, and inhibit oxidative stress.

Abstract: Metal hydride compounds, which are prepared by mixing together from about 1 to about 10 parts by molecular weight of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of silicon, aluminum, tin, and zinc; from about 1 to about 3 parts by molecular weight of an alkali metal hydroxide; and from about 5 to about 10 parts by molecular weight of water and allowing this mixture to stand for a time sufficient to form a metal hydride, can be used for making fuel additives, treating sour gas, enhancing oil refining, extracting oil from tar sands and shale, increasing production of hydrogen from a hydrogen plant, treating oil and gas wells to enhance production, eliminate PCBs, cleaning soil contaminated by hydrocarbons and/or heavy metals, controlling odors, cleaning polluting stack emissions, extracting edible and essential oils, and eliminating bacteria, fungicides, and parasites from vegetation.

Abstract: A method and system for removing hydrogen sulfide from gaseous process streams, such as sour gas streams are disclosed and described. A gaseous stream containing hydrogen sulfide can be contacted with an aqueous silicon-containing composition under high shear conditions to form a sweetened gaseous product. The gaseous product has significantly reduced hydrogen sulfide content and recovered liquid and solid filtrates are generally non-toxic.

Abstract: A novel thermal insulating material is provided which is formed by the curing and drying of a composition comprised of from about 50 to 75 percent by weight of an expanded siliceous inorganic aggregate, from about 25 to 35 percent by weight of an aqueous solution of sodium silicate, from about 5 to about 12 percent by weight of kaolin, from about 3 to about 15 percent by weight of mica, an inorganic reinforcing fiber in an amount of up to about 3 percent by weight, and a filler in an amount of up to about 5 percent by weight. The material possesses desirable insulating properties at both low and high temperatures while also exhibiting highly advantageous structural integrity over a wide range of temperatures.
