Abstract: The present disclosure provides polymers prepared by a method comprising reacting a polymerization mixture comprising one or more types of hydroxy/amino-oximes, one or more types of diols, one or more types of polyols (e.g., triols), one or more types of isocyanates, and optionally one or more types of oximes. At least one instance of =N—OH of at least one instance of the hydroxy/amino-oximes may react with —NCO of the isocyanates to form ?N—O—C(?O)—NH— bonds. The polymers may be a thermoset under ambient conditions. At elevated temperatures, the polymers may undergo a transition from a cross-linked state to a lightly cross-linked or un-crosslinked state (e.g., at least in part because at least one instance of the =N—O—C(?O)—NH— bonds may be cleaved (e.g., to form ?N—OH and —NCO)). The transition may be reversable (e.g., by changing the temperature). The polymers of the present disclosure may be useful as hot melt adhesives.

In particular, the composition can be a monomer, a polymer, or a copolymer derived from an amino acid dimer. Such compositions can optionally include a functionalized steroid.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) useful, for example, for gas adsorption, storage, and/or separation. Also provided are methods of making the MOFs, articles of manufacture incorporating the MOFs and methods for making these, as well as methods of using the MOFs.

Abstract: A calf brace for the treatment of MTSS (shin splints) and other conditions of the lower leg, including the foot, includes a strap arrangement that is used to locate pressure nodes that target specific areas of a wearer's calf muscle to facilitate release of the calf muscle. In one embodiment, the straps are anchored to a sleeve that can be pulled onto the wearer's calf muscle over the foot. Targeted zones may include the point on the calf where the soleus muscle attaches to the posterior head of the fibula, the point where the soleus muscle attaches to the middle third of the tibia; and the back of the calf at approximately the junction of the Achilles tendon and the triceps surae muscle. A compressive rod may also be aligned with approximately the distal one third of the medial border of the tibia where periosteal elevation and inflammation is thought to occur.

Abstract: A system for converting propelling thrust to produce a continuous flow is provided. The system can be integrated and/or retrofitted to the body of an aircraft. The system includes a pressure-lowering device and a sample chamber. The pressure-lowering device is used produce a low-pressure, continuous flow from a high-velocity propelling thrust source. Moreover, the pressure-lowering device is a passive flow generator that does not require a power source in order to produce a continuous flow from a propelling thrust. The design of the pressure-lowering device produces a flow rate that is independent of the aircraft motion. The sample chamber is used to measure and analyze ambient gases which are pulled through the sample chamber by the pressure-lowering device, as a result of the high-velocity air stream produced by the propelling thrust source.
