Abstract: A diving glove includes quilted material defining a plurality of pockets. Each of the pockets is filled with aerogel beads. The glove may be worn underneath a waterproof layer in a dry diving suit. The glove includes multiple seams dividing the pockets. The seams are located to maintain a distribution of beads across the glove that effectively insulates the wearer's hand and prevents the beads from impeding the wearer's manual dexterity. The glove includes a web portion extending across a back side of the fingers. The web portion can be used to create an enclosed space for insulating the wearer's fingers.

Abstract: Regenerable carbon dioxide scrubbers are provided. The regenerable carbon dioxide scrubbers include at least a first housing compartment including an inlet, an outlet, and an interior region. A sorbent material is located within the interior region of the first housing compartment, in which the sorbent material (a) attracts and/or retains carbon dioxide from an air supply passing through the sorbent material at an operating temperature below about 100° C., and (b) releases carbon dioxide at a regenerating temperature above about 150° C. Rebreathers including the regenerable carbon dioxide scrubbers and methods of scrubbing carbon dioxide from a user's exhaled air are also provided.

Abstract: A layered textile energy storage device can include first and second encasing layers, an anode, a cathode, and a flexible separator layer. The first and second encasing layers can each include a nylon fabric coated with a polyurethane. The anode can include a carbon fabric coated with anode active material, carbon nanotubes, and a binder material. The cathode can include a carbon fabric coated with cathode active material, carbon nanotubes, and a binder material. The flexible separator layer can be disposed between the anode and cathode to prevent internal shorting of the layered textile energy storage device. The anode, the cathode and the flexible separator layer can be disposed between the first and the second encasing layers.
