Abstract: A cap for connection to a medical connector comprises: a housing, a protrusion, a disinfection sponge, and a pressure seal. The protrusion includes an inner thread on an inner surface, the inner thread being sufficient to interlock with a mating feature of a female medical connector. The inner surface of the protrusion defines a second cavity. The protrusion includes an outer thread on an outer surface, the outer thread being sufficient to interlock with a mating feature of a male medical connector. The disinfection sponge is disposed on the second cavity. The pressure seal is attached to the housing and disposed adjacent to a surface of the disinfection sponge. The pressure seal can comprise a flexible insert attached to an interior surface of the top wall of the housing. The pressure seal can comprise a combination of: an elongate member and an insert that is slidably engaged with the elongate member.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to energy storage devices, e.g., capacitors and batteries, that may include a composite article of elongated conductive structures embedded in a polymer matrix. In some embodiments, a liquid containing ionic species may be dispersed within the polymer matrix of the article. The liquid may contact the elongated conductive structures within the polymer matrix. When the composite article is used as an energy storage device, the large surface area at the interface between the elongated conductive structures and the liquid can provide high energy storage. Embodiments of the invention enable storing energy using a composite article that exhibits both high and low temperature stability, high cyclic repeatability, and mechanical flexibility. The composite article can also be non-toxic, biocompatible and environmentally friendly. Thus, the composite article may be useful for a variety of energy storage applications, such as in the automotive, RFID, MEMS and medical fields.
