Abstract: Pneumatic tire including a circumferential tread, a circumferential belt layer, spaced apart first and second bead regions with respective first and second mounting surfaces adapted for mounting the tire on a rim of a wheel, respective first and second sidewalls respectively extending between respective first and second bead regions and the tread, a carcass ply extending between the first and second bead regions, and an electrically conductive cord including electrically conductive fibers, the cord extending from the first bead region to the tread, and/or to the circumferential belt layer, and/or to the second bead region, thereby providing a path of increased electrical conductivity via the electrically conductive cord, wherein the fibers have a length from 1 mm to 100 mm, and a diameter from 1 ?m to 100 ?m.

Abstract: A low profile bioabsorbable bone screw and driver system. The driver has a distal end that partially encases the periphery of the screw head of the bone screw and has a metal stabilizing projection configured to be received by a recess of the screw head and to prevent the screw head from laterally disengaging from the distal end of the driver.
