Abstract: An open cell foam, and particularly aerogels or other foams, having an inorganic, hydraded phase change material (PCM) embedded within pores or cells or a network within the foam have fire retardant, fire resistant and thermal insulating properties. These composite materials are preferably monolithic in character, and are mechanically robust allowing for example the attachment of nails or screws. With the PCM distributed throughout the open cell foam, the composite material has a wide array of applications including providing thermal, fire resistant, and fire retardant uses in battery containers, in automotives and other vehicles, etc.

Abstract: The disclosure notably relates to a syringe. The syringe comprises a barrel forming a medicament reservoir therein. The medicament reservoir is capable of fluid communication with a needle hub at a distal end thereof. The syringe further comprises a stopper. The stopper seals the medicament reservoir. The stopper is slidable inside the barrel toward the distal end. The syringe further comprises a plunger assembly. The plunger assembly comprises a plunger rod and a spring. The spring is arranged between a distal end of the plunger rod and the stopper. The spring is configured to transmit to the stopper a forward axial movement of the plunger rod, thereby causing a forward axial movement of the stopper into the medicament reservoir in order to expel the medicament through the needle hub. The plunger rod is axially movable between a proximal extremal position and a distal extremal position. The spring is in a relaxed state when the plunger rod is at the proximal extremal position.

Abstract: Systems and methods for obtaining an indication of an oral motor performance that utilize a pressure transducer configured to be positioned within a user's mouth and adapted to generate a transducer signal in response to pressure, a processor adapted to receive and process the transducer signal, and a mobile device adapted to receive the processed transducer signal and display corresponding pressure unit of the processed transducer signal.

Abstract: An electrical cable with a stranded central conductor encircled by insulation including a material which provides self-sealing properties to the cable present at least between the adjacent edges of the stranded conductor and the insulation. Preferably, the material is a polymeric material which is flowable at a temperature at least as low as 25° C. and has a 100 gram needle penetration value greater than 100 tenths of a millimeter at 25° C.
