Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of a mixture of 1,7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadien-3,5-dione in polysorbates that allows the formation of micelles in water loaded with 1,7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadien-3,5-dione. With the developed formulation it is proposed to avoid bioavailability problems of this molecule, allowing to better demonstrate its benefits directed to systemic therapeutic effects, for example, anti-inflammatory drugs, and to reduce the use of drugs that cause direct or indirect irritation to the gastrointestinal mucosa, kidney damage, Cushing syndrome and/or immunosuppression.

Abstract: An acoustic honeycomb panel is plugged with an acoustic honeycomb plug. The acoustic honeycomb plug is adhesively bonded in the panel using a honeycomb seam. The honeycomb seam is composed of a honeycomb support that is located within the seam channel and an adhesive. Using honeycomb seams to adhesively bond acoustic honeycomb plugs into acoustic honeycomb panels is useful in repairing damaged areas of acoustic honeycomb panels that are located in the acoustic treatments for jet engines.

Abstract: Acoustic structures in which acoustic septa are located in the angled cells of a honeycomb for reducing the noise generated from a source. The honeycomb used to form the acoustic structure has cell walls that extend at an angle relative to the honeycomb edges such that the depth of the honeycomb cells is greater than the honeycomb core thickness The acoustic septa are formed by inserting planar acoustic inserts into the angled honeycomb cells to form septum caps which are friction-locked within the angled cells and then permanently bonded in place.

Abstract: Electronics module assemblies (“EMAs”) for inflatable personal restraints and associated systems are described herein. An EMA configured in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology can include, for example, a housing having a body portion, cover portion that attaches to the body portion to form an enclosure, and protrusion extending outwardly from the cover portion. The protrusion can have an outer boundary at which the protrusion projects away from the cover portion. The EMA can further include a crash sensor within the enclosure in an area defined by the outer boundary of the protrusion. The protrusion can form an envelope of space around the crash sensor that defines a minimum distance an external object with a magnetic field can come to the crash sensor without activating it. The EMA can optionally include a magnetic field configured to disable the crash sensor upon the detection of an external magnetic field.

Abstract: An electrical device cover configured for mounting over an electrical device comprises a frame including a frame channel and an frame opening. The frame opening is defined by at least four sides and is large enough to receive at least one electrical device. A sliding tab comprising a screw channel is provided, the sliding tab is slidably coupled with the frame channel and is slidable to a closed position in which the screw channel at least partially surrounds a box mounting screw of the at least one electrical device.

Abstract: Buckle connectors and airbag assemblies for inflatable personal restraints, and associated methods of use and manufacture are described herein. In one embodiment, an inflatable personal restraint system for use in an aircraft includes a web configured to restrain an occupant in a seat, a connector attached to a distal end portion of the web, and an airbag carried by the web. The restraint system further includes an airbag cover at least partially enclosing the airbag and engaging a portion of the connector. The connector can include a tongue portion configured to be releasably engaged with a corresponding buckle to secure the web around a portion of the occupant.

Abstract: Stitch patterns for inflatable personal restraint systems and associated systems and methods. A stitch pattern between a web of a restraint and an airbag mounted to the restraint has a continuous, or curvilinear pattern to reduce stress concentrations. The stitch pattern can be applied to the web, the airbag, and a gas tube in a single stitching procedure.

Abstract: Inflator connectors for inflatable personal restraints and associated systems and methods are described herein. An inflator connector configured in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology, for example, can include a body having an attachment portion and a sleeve portion and a coupling rotatably received in the sleeve portion. The attachment portion of the body can include a first bore having a first engagement feature positioned toward a first opening for operably engaging at least one of an inflator and a gas tube. The sleeve portion can include a second bore in fluid communication with the first bore. The coupling can include a second engagement feature positioned toward a second opening for operably engaging the other of the inflator and the gas tube.

Abstract: Sensors for detecting rapid deceleration/acceleration events are disclosed herein. A sensor configured in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure includes a magnetically operable device proximate to a magnet. The sensor also includes a biasing member operably coupled to a magnetic shield. The biasing member controls the movement of the magnetic shield between a first position that shields the magnetically operable device from the magnet, and a second position that exposes the magnetically operable device to the magnet. In a deceleration/acceleration event, the magnetic shield overcomes the biasing member and moves from the first position to the second position, thereby causing the magnetically operable device to be exposed to the magnet.
