Abstract: A powered balancing mobility device that can provide the user the ability to safely navigate expected environments of daily living including the ability to maneuver in confined spaces and to climb curbs, stairs, and other obstacles, and to travel safely and comfortably in vehicles. The mobility device can provide elevated, balanced travel.

Abstract: This invention relates to an insulated article. The insulated articles comprise either a twin walled construction and/or a protective pouch of packaging material encompassing a layer of insulating material. The insulating material comprises an aerogel material such as silica aerogel material and the function of the insulation is to minimize energy usage in the articles. One particularly preferred article is an oven constructed with an inner and an outer wall and a layer of aerogel insulation encapsulated in a packaging material therebetween. A transparent insulation may be used for the front door of the oven or alternatively a camera capturing images inside the oven may be provided in conjunction with a visual display for displaying the images captured by the camera. The energy consumption of the oven is reduced significantly. Similar techniques can also be applied to other articles of manufacture including hot water cylinders, beverage and food containers, radiators and fireplace surrounds to name a few.

Abstract: This invention relates to an energy saving electric kettle. The energy saving electric kettle comprises a liquid container having a charging inlet, a discharge outlet and a heating element for heating the contents of the container. The container comprises an inner wall, an outer wall and an insulation layer therebetween. The insulation layer comprises an aerogel material. Preferably, the aerogel material is a glass fibre continuous filament silica aerogel which is particularly suitable for this purpose and is efficient in operation. After boiling, the kettle maintains the water at a higher temperature for longer and furthermore will significantly reduce the energy requirement on re-boiling of the kettle.
