Abstract: Espun material may function as a filtration medium or be put to other uses. The espun material may comprise espun poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (espun PTFE). One or more layers of the espun material may be included. The properties of the espun material can be tailored. For example, a gradient fabric may include espun PTFE. The gradient fabric may include two or more layers of espun PTFE.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may provide a framework to implement an omnichannel relevance analysis system. In response to a request to obtain an omnichannel relevance for a product, the system identifies a set of relevancy attributes and domain priorities and obtains product data sets associated with a set of platforms through which the product is made available. Using these product data sets, the system generates an omnichannel relevance index to indicate a position of the product in relation to sets of other products made available within the set of platforms.

Abstract: Provided herein are filter media structures having antimicrobial and/or antiviral properties. In particular, the present disclosure describes filter media structures having a first layer with an electret web and a second layer that demonstrates biological-reducing properties. In some cases, the first layer is formed from polypropylene (e.g., spunbond) and the second layer is formed from a plurality of fibers of a polyamide composition (e.g., meltblown).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a composite material comprising a silicone component and an electrospun, porous polymeric component and methods of producing such a composite material. The layers are preferably processed so as to result in some degree of penetration of the silicone component into the pores of the electrospun polymeric component. The composite materials can be tailored for use in a range of different applications.

Abstract: An electronic storage device for connecting with a host system in accordance with the present invention includes a frame defining a receiving cavity, a main body rotatably received in the receiving cavity of the frame and including an electrical connector with an interface and a pivoting portion cooperating with the frame to realize the rotation of the main body. At least one of the frame and the main body forms a number of elastic pieces protruding into the receiving cavity. At least one of the main body and the frame defines a receiving space surrounded by a number of cooperating edges curved inwardly, and a number of recesses formed at the cross of each adjacent two cooperating edges. At a first position, the elastic pieces are respectively received in the recesses.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a filter media comprised of an electro-conductive scrim so as to improve on the dissipation time of an electrostatic charge. Further, the present invention is directed to a method of making such a filter media, which is formed through hydroentanglement, thus avoiding the deleterious effects of mechanical needling, while providing a filter media having the requisite strength characteristics, without possessing a limiting factor in performance. The filtration media of the present invention also demonstrates a highly desirable uniformity for cost-effective use.
