Abstract: A versatile, multilayered composite construction material containing fiber-reinforced thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers treated with a non-toxic fire retardant and method of making same. Where used in the construction industry, the produced multilayered fire-resistant thermoplastic and fiber composite material can be formed or shaped into various construction products of different thicknesses and dimensions, such as, without limitation, interior wall panels, sheathing and structural boards.

Abstract: Aerial delivery systems are described including a propulsion unit, a deployable parafoil attached to the propulsion unit, a control/navigation unit operably connected to the parafoil, and a support truss connected to the propulsion unit. The system may be configured to attach to and transport a payload. The propulsion unit may be configured to provide thrust to the aerial delivery system while the parafoil is deployed and the control/navigation unit may be configured to steer the parafoil while deployed.

Abstract: Fluidic propulsion system enclosures are described, including a high-pressure gas source container, a high-pressure gas source inlet, an ambient air inlet, a thruster container, a thruster outlet in fluid communication with the high-pressure gas source inlet and the ambient air inlet, and a housing substantially surrounding and interconnecting the high-pressure gas source container and the thruster container. The enclosure may include sound and/or energy abatement baffles within the housing, which may be arranged between the high-pressure gas source container and the thruster container.
