Abstract: The present disclosure relates to zeolites comprising Al, Si, O, H, Na, K and Ca, wherein the zeolite advantageously comprises phillipsite and tobermorite phases. The present disclosure further provides methods of preparing the zeolites from a synthesis gel.

Abstract: The invention is a training device that operates to make runners run faster. More particularly, the training device uses increased loading as an athlete moves it from one point to another either by running or by walking.

Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving situational awareness of occupants of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes analyzing, using at least a processor of the vehicle, scan data from a sensor of the vehicle to detect at least one object within the surrounding environment. The method includes converting the scan data into converted data that represents the at least one object with a reduced quantity of data. The method includes rendering, using the converted data, at least one graphic that is a visual representation of the at least one object. The method includes displaying the at least one graphic within a display of the vehicle at a location within the display that represents a location of the at least one object relative to the vehicle in the surrounding environment.

Abstract: A nipple cushion formed as part of an insert for a breast-receiving funnel-shaped membrane of a breast pump. The nipple cushion may include an adhesive to form a temporary bond to any type of a breast pump cushion. Such a nipple cushion of the present invention absorbs any friction created by the movement between the breast pump and the user's breast, with the aid of the material that constitutes the nipple cushion.

Abstract: A process of producing a zeotype material having a zeolite-type framework. The process includes providing a zeolite having a framework, dealuminating the zeolite to remove aluminum atoms therefrom to produce a dealuminated framework comprising a plurality of vacancy sites, contacting the dealuminated framework with dichloromethane and a precursor comprising heteroatoms, and then heating the dealuminated framework, the dichloromethane, and the precursor under reflux conditions to incorporate the heteroatoms into at least some of the plurality of vacancy sites in the dealuminated framework to produce a zeotype material having a zeolite-type framework comprising the heteroatoms. In addition, a process is provided for producing a stannosilicate comprising a zeolite-type framework comprising Sn heteroatoms incorporated therein which form Sn sites in the zeolite-type framework each having an open configuration or a closed configuration.
