Abstract: An Environmental Control System includes sensors, an air purification subsystem, and a controller in communication with the sensors and air purification subsystem. The sensors detect contaminants in outside air supplied through engine and APU bleeds or other air sources including ground supplies and electric compressors, contaminants in recirculated air, particulates in outside air, carbon dioxide in recirculated air, temperature in an environment, and pressure in an environment. These sensed parameters are compared against thresholds. Based on the comparisons, changes to the outside air and/or recirculated air are made.

Abstract: An Environmental Control System includes a sensor, an air purification subsystem, and a controller in communication with the sensor and air purification subsystem. The sensor detects a contaminant in the air and generates a contaminant signal. The controller compares the contaminant signal to a predicted sensory response threshold. When the contaminant signal reaches the predicted sensory response threshold, the controller commands the air purification subsystem to alter a condition in the air.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a molding system that facilitates the molding of very thick products from materials such as gel and/or mechanically frothed foam, substantially free of visual defects, such as air bubbles, by controlling the rate of mold closure and/or interrupting the mold closure.

Abstract: Disclosed is a protective case for an electronic device. The protective case has two layers, an inner cushion insert that surrounds a portion of the electronic device and an outer elastomeric shell. The cushion insert includes raised impact portions that extend through the cover, and that are capable of absorbing shocks from impacts.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to cushioning members, methods of making and methods of using, particularly to cushioning members comprising a plurality of spaced apart pillars comprising a polymeric material.

Abstract: A method of making frothed gel in which no blowing (gas producing) agents are used, and in which non-aqueous gel precursor polyol and additive systems are frothed using a froth mix head, either prior to, or after addition of the isocyonate, depending on desired speed of reaction and cell structure. Isocyanate may be added after the material leaves the froth mix head, in which case it can be added to the froth using a static mixer. No water, or very little water, is used in the process.

Abstract: A decorative molded foam or molded gel protective label configured to partially or entirely encase glass or fragile plastic container. The molded label may be film coated on an exterior facing surface for improved feel. The molded article may be textured and/or have three-dimensional protections for additional protection. The film may include an anti-microbial to protect the user from germs that often get transferred to conventional glass.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing device having a flexible fluid pouch and a dispensing assembly, the dispensing assembly having a top piece and a bottom piece, the top piece having a flexible actuator including a flexible dome and a flexible flange extension, the bottom piece having a bottom portion of a pump chamber, a pump chamber inlet, a chamber inlet valve, and a bottom portion of an outlet valve, the top piece and the bottom piece mated together to form a pump chamber and an outlet valve, said device configured to allow bidirectional fluid flow through either or both inlet and outlet valves, and to dispense a volume of fluid that is less than the volume of said pump chamber. The flexible pouch may have a single opening or two openings. In the case of a single opening, the entire dispensing assembly is in the interior of the pouch. In the case of two openings, only the flexible dome extends to the exterior of the pouch.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to cushioning medallions, methods of making and methods of using, particularly cushioning medallions comprising a relatively low durometer viscoelastic polymer gel, for use in gloves or on the body.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are innersoles for cycling shoes and to cycling shoes including such innersoles.

Abstract: A collapsible, aesthetically pleasing, impact-protective sleeve for fragile articles having as a primary structural component molded foam panels having integrally molded pillars on an exterior surface of the sleeve, on an interior surface of the sleeve, or on both the exterior and interior surfaces of the sleeve. The sleeve may comprise one or more molded foam body panels, arranged in the shape of a cylinder, or other shape. Molded foam top and bottom panels may include features that are configured to interact with top and bottom portions of a fragile article for additional protection.

Abstract: A composite material, method of making and articles formed thereby. The composite material can comprise a gel-infused foam material.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are conformable protection pads with a reinforcing layer.
