Abstract: A kit comprises a device (1) for electrotherapy and/or electrophysiology and a delivery system and method for the device. The device (1) includes a lead (2) and a paddle (5) comprising at least one electrode (8), the paddle (5) being reconfigurable between an operative configuration and a transport configuration of smaller transverse extent. The delivery system comprises a flexible, hollow outer sheath (28) and a hollow delivery sheath (100) for receiving at least the paddle (5) of the device (1) in the transport configuration. The delivery sheath (100) may be inserted into a proximal end of the outer sheath (28) and transported through the outer sheath (28) to deliver the paddle (5) of the device (1) to a distal end of the outer sheath (28), which is located at or directed towards an implantation site in the body (11) of a patient. The delivery sheath (100) protects the paddle (5) during transport and permits enhanced control of the position and orientation of the paddle (5) when it is deployed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive tape comprising an adhesive tape comprising a layer A comprising at least one anisotropic tape, wherein said tape comprises ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene; and a layer B comprising a first adhesive being a pressure sensitive adhesive, wherein layer A covers at least 60% of the surface area of layer B. The invention also relates to the use of said adhesive tape in different applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to a material comprising at least one laminate component containing polymeric fibers wherein the material has a loss tangent of less than 8×10?3 radians as measured at a frequency chosen from the group of frequencies consisting of 1.8 GHz; 3.9 GHz; 10 GHz; 39.5 GHz; and 72 GHz.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low dielectric loss material comprising a plurality of polyolefin tapes forming a sheet and a coating disposed onto said sheet, wherein said coating comprises an epoxy resin.

Abstract: Window tinting systems provides a vehicle window tint control within the interior of a vehicle permitting a driver and/or passenger to adjust the level of tint of the vehicle window. The system may generally comprise an integrally wired photochromic component, a wiring assembly, a driver's control panel, and at least one passenger's controller. A specialty film may be coupled to the vehicle window and may serve to control the amount of sun light penetrating the vehicle window. The driver's control panel and passenger's control panel may adjustably control the tint level of the vehicle window.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayered material sheet comprising a stack of fibrous layers and one or more substacks of trauma reducing layers, wherein at least one of the substacks is positioned within the stack. The invention further relates to the use of the material sheet in the manufacture of soft antiballistic articles.

Abstract: An armor system useful, for example, as a shroud, comprising a first pliable, cut resistant fibrous layer and a second pliable fibrous layer is disclosed. The first layer is arranged to receive an impact from a large projectile prior to the second layer and engages the projectile to slow its velocity. The second layer is substantially coextensive with the first and dissipates the incoming energy of the impact to resist complete penetration of the second layer by the projectile, preferably by deforming in response to the impact. Both layers comprise fibers having a tensile modulus of at least about 200 g/d, and an energy-to-break of at least about 8 J/g and a tenacity equal to or greater than about 10 g/d. In another embodiment, the layers are reversed relative to the impact face of the system so that the second layer becomes the first layer and is resistant to projectiles impacting the system, while the first layer becomes the second layer and resists deformation of the system by projectile impacts.
