Abstract: A method of making an aerogel insulation material for use in building insulation, by: (a) producing short fibers with attached aerogel particles; (b) depositing the short fibers onto a continuously moving fiber web; (c) crosslapping the continuously moving aerogel-embedded fiber web back and forth on top of itself to produce a layered aerogel-embedded fiber web; (d) passing the layered aerogel-embedded fiber web through a belt press to compress the layered aerogel-embedded fiber web into a stable compressed composite; and then (e) cutting or rolling the stable compressed composite into desired sizes.

Abstract: A method of securing a thermoplastic roofing membrane onto a roofing assembly, by: (a) providing a roofing component positioned at the top of a roofing assembly, wherein the roofing component has a thermoplastic top surface; (b) placing a thermoplastic roofing membrane over the top of the roofing component; and then (c) heating the thermoplastic roofing membrane together with the top surface of the roofing component to cause the thermoplastic roofing membrane to fuse to the top surface of the roofing component.

Abstract: A composite insulation assembly, including: (a) a bottom insulation layer, (b) a fiber supported aerogel blanket on top of the bottom insulation layer; and (c) a top insulation layer.

Abstract: Cinnamic acid-based oligomers and therapeutic uses thereof are provided. The oligomers are used as anti-inflammation agents, inhibitors of elastase and anti-oxidants, and in some cases (e.g. the treatment of lung disorders such as lung cancer) all three activities are simultaneously beneficial. Subsets of the oligomers (e.g. ?-O4 and ?-5 trimers and tetramers) are used as anticoagulants.
