Abstract: The application relates to an OPW airbag which is woven into a part, comprising warp threads and weft threads, which are woven so as to produce at least three woven fabric layers, a lower fabric layer (UG), an upper fabric layer (OG), and a central fabric layer (MG) arranged therebetween. The airbag is characterized in that the warp threads and weft threads of the central fabric layer (MG) float in a selected through-flow region (DSB).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising contacting a cellular surface on the subject with an effective amount of a recombinant collagen fragment, including a fragment having a sequence identity of at least about 85% to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.

Abstract: An airbag has at least two fabric layers which are connected to one another in such a way that a central inflow region forming a first airbag chamber and at least two wing regions forming respective second airbag chambers and extending radially from the inflow region are formed. During the inflation operation of the airbag, a gas flows first into the central inflow region and then from the central inflow region into the respective wing regions. Distal end portions of the at least two wing regions are connected to one another via a flat tensioning element, so that the distal end portions move axially away from the central inflow region during the inflation operation of the airbag and, in the inflated state of the airbag, radially tension the flat tensioning element at an axial distance from the central inflow region.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising collagen and hyaluronic acid, wherein the collagen is fully miscible with the hyaluronic acid. The present disclosure also relates to a composition comprising collagen, hyaluronic acid, and additional polymers, wherein the collagen is fully miscible with the hyaluronic acid and polymers. Methods of using the compositions described herein for medical and cosmetic treatments are also provided.

Abstract: Materials comprising a protein polyurethane alloy comprising one or more proteins dissolved within one or more polyurethanes. The materials can be subjected to various leather and/or textile treatments to create described properties. For example, in some embodiments, the material can be dyed. As another example, in some embodiments, the material can be fatliquored.

Abstract: Fibers including a polyurethane or a protein polyurethane alloy. The fibers include a core defined by the polyurethane or the protein polyurethane alloy. The fibers including a protein polyurethane alloy include a protein dissolved within a polyurethane. In some embodiments, the fibers can be made by wet spinning a blended mixture of the polyurethane or protein polyurethane alloy and an organic solvent. In alternative embodiments, the fibers can be made by wet spinning a blended mixture of the polyurethane or protein polyurethane alloy and an aqueous polyethylene oxide solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag which is configured to be set from an uninflated state into an inflated state by an inflation operation to protect an occupant of a vehicle, the airbag comprising at least two fabric layers which are connected to one another in such a way that at least a first airbag chamber and a second airbag chamber being separate from the first airbag chamber are formed.

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag, preferably an OPW airbag, which is configured to be set from an uninflated state to an inflated state by an inflation operation to protect an occupant of a vehicle. According to the invention, it is provided that the airbag has at least two fabric layers which are connected to one another in such a way that a plurality of airbag chambers are formed, wherein in the inflated state the airbag chambers are each formed as tubular chambers, which extend and/or are arranged transversely and/or obliquely and/or parallel to a depth direction of the airbag in the inflated state in such a way that the outer shape of the airbag assumes the shape of a tube, in particular a tube with an oval or elliptical cross-section or a hollow cylinder with a circular cross-section.

Abstract: The invention relates to an airbag, which is configured to be set from an uninflated state to an inflated state to protect an occupant of a vehicle.

Abstract: A tamper-evident closure for a container includes a straw having an outer edge with an outwardly extending projection. The closure includes a cap with a rib. A tamper-evident tab extends from the rib. The tab has an inwardly extending lug configured to engage with the outwardly extending projection of the straw as the cap rotates relative to the straw. The tab has a hinge coupled with the rib. The hinge is configured to rotate the tab outwardly relative to the rib. The tab also has a foldable portion configured to fold to provide a visual indication when the cap is an unsealed configuration.

Abstract: A closure for a container. The closure includes an outer shell having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The closure also including an inner cap having a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A plurality of ribs extend from the inner cap to the outer shell.
