Abstract: The invention provides a unique thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction product and a container combination comprised of the supportive base equipped with a thermoset viscoelastomer reaction product possessing unexpectedly superior adhesive and cohesive efficacy rendering it especially useful as an adhesive insert in a container combination. The thermoset insert bonds to any suitable supportive structure. The unique viscoelastomeric reaction product inserts adhesively immobilize items placed thereupon and adhesively or permanently bonds to most conventional containers. The tenacious cohesive and adhesive features of the insert allows for inverted stowage of stowed items. Due to the confining adhesive and cohesive attributes of the insert, structural supports of a flexible or solid base without a conventional confining structure provide a unique container combination for the stowed items.

Abstract: A highly effective firearm recoil absorbing combination is obtained by providing a shoulder mountable assembly containing a viscoelastomeric thermoset polymerizate pad possessing excellent cushioning and rebounding characteristics along with sufficient surface tack to cohesively steady a firing firearm against the pad. The assembly may securely affixed to the shoulder region of a garment or detachably mountable thereto.

Abstract: Disclosed is an assembly which can include a hardened outer shell and an inner surface comprising a polymeric gel. The polymeric gel is enclosed within an envelope having opposed layers and is attached to the outer hardened surface cover. The hardened outer surface cover may be comprised of most any material known within the art. The sporting or shooting vest comprises a garment including gel-filled pockets or envelopes whereby impact can be absorbed and dissipated. Additionally, the outer layer of the shooting vest may be comprised of a Kevlar material wherein the vest would become a ballistic vest.

Abstract: A restraint system includes: a base system engages a restraint to apply the restraint to a person, for example, on the limbs of a person. The base system can communicate with a remote control operated by security person. The remote control can be from a remote location so that the security person is removed from intimate contact with the person to be restrained. This can increase the safety form the security person. The base system can be fixed to a portion of a vehicle, such as a roof, trunk, side panel, hood, bumper, etc. The restraint can include a locking mechanism that helps to prevent overtightening.

Abstract: Disclosed is a ball racquet having a vibration attenuating compound inserted within the frame of the racquet. The attenuating compound comprises a gel formed from an expoxidized vegetable oil. The gel compound can be placed in varying parts of the racquet. Furthermore more than one insert can be placed within the hollow confines of the racquet structure.

Abstract: Disclosed is an acoustical flooring underlayment comprised of an energy absorbing layer formed from a polymeric gel, a first moisture barrier for engaging a subfloor and optionally a second moisture barrier for engaging hard flooring. The energy absorbing layer includes a first side surface, a second side surface and a plurality of edge surfaces. The flooring underlayment provides sound attenuating and energy absorbing properties to a flooring underlayment.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-axial stretchable, viscoelastic, shock-attenuating elastomeric pad or fabric comprising a polymeric gel forming an inner core. The polymeric gel may be sandwiched between two opposed layers of multi-axial stretchable fabric having open ends or enclosed within an envelope having opposed layers of multi-axial stretchable fabric whereby impact can be absorbed and dissipated.

Abstract: Disclosed is an energy absorbing endless belt comprises a polymeric gel and a substrate enveloped by a top and bottom layer. The top layer may serve as the running surface for the treadmill and may be made of a different material than the bottom layer. The substrate has a density less than that of the polymeric gel. The substrate may be formed from a foamed plastic and may be a continuous sheet or have perforations placed throughout. The energy absorbing endless belt can be formed from an epoxidized vegetable oil, a thermoplastic polymer and a prepolymer.

Abstract: An apparatus for accurately infusing fluids into a patient at specific rates over an extended period of time and the method for making same. The apparatus includes one or more dispensers, of a low profile, laminate or layered construction each having a stored energy source in the form of a distendable membrane or an elastomeric cellular mass, which in cooperation with the base, defined a fluid chamber having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The apparatus further includes, in lieu of a rigid ullage, a high novel, conformable ullage made of yieldable materials. The conformable ullage uniquely conforms to the shape of elastomeric membrane as the membrane returns to its less distended configuration. This arrangement will satisfy even the most stringent delivery tolerance requirements and will elegantly overcome the limitations of materials selection encountered in devices embodying the rigid ullage construction.
