Abstract: A wire or cable comprises a core (10) and a sheath including a wrapped film (16) of polyetherether ketone (PEEK) and a flameproofing layer (14) comprising mica particles dispersed in a polymer matrix such as a silicone. An outer coating (18) of PEEK or another polymer may be provided, which may be sintered to provide a tough outer protective covering. The PEEK and mica layers combine synergistically to provide a sheath of increased flame resistance as well as high flexibility and resistance to mechanical stresses, while being of reduced weight and diameter.

Abstract: Methods and systems for delivery of a virtual exhibit are disclosed. In one aspect, a method of delivering a virtual exhibit to an attendee of a physical event includes receiving an indication of interest from an attendee that identifies at least one physical exhibit at an event, the indication of interest including an identifier associated with the attendee. The method further includes storing an association between the attendee and the exhibit, and receiving a request from the attendee to view a virtual event. The method also includes displaying the virtual event to the attendee, the virtual event including a virtual exhibit corresponding to the at least one physical exhibit.

Abstract: An electronic information distribution system, and methods of use are disclosed. The system includes an attendee handheld computing device and an exhibitor data exchange system including an exhibitor computing device and a wireless communication unit. The system also includes a database configured to contain database records, the database records including database records related to an owner of the attendee handheld computing device and database records related to a registered user of the exhibitor data exchange system. The attendee handheld computing device is configured to exchange information with the wireless communication unit via a wireless communications link, thereby forming a link in the database between at least one record related to the owner of the attendee handheld computing device and at least one record related to the registered user of the exhibitor data exchange system.
