Abstract: The present invention can provide a system to facilitate encryption/decryption of sensitive data/information online. It will revolutionize the way data is encrypted because it provides a way for individuals to discretely protect their data both at rest and in motion, and it allows users the ability to decide whom the data are shared with. The present invention can become valuable to businesses and companies by reducing the exposure of sensitive information in the event of a data breach, and by extension it reduces costs related to recovering from a data breach.

Abstract: A surgical glove has inner and outer surfaces. At least one of the surfaces is treated with a treatment consisting of a non-ionic hydrocarbon solution with a carbon chain in the range of 8-16 and containing a hydrophilic functionality with a pH within the range 4.5-6.5. After treatment, the treated surface or surfaces are dried, the glove packaged and then irradiated. The treatment controls the initial contact angle of the surface to be less than 70 degrees, so that liquid material will spread quickly across the treated surface or surfaces, thereby ensuring that the presence of the liquid, indicative of the glove having been compromised, is visible to the wearer or other observer as quickly as possible.

Abstract: A surgical garment in the form of a surgical gown, a surgical glove or a surgical mask incorporates a shear thickening fluid as a layer on at least one of the inner and outer surface of the garment, the viscosity of which shear thickening fluid increases to inhibit penetration of the garment.

Abstract: An elastomeric article includes a region that is covered with adhesive material, the adhesive material being partially coated with slippery material so as to reduce the surface area of exposed adhesive material, thereby controlling the amount of adhesion exhibited by said region. The elastomeric article is formed with a region of adhesive material, and a slippery material is applied so as to at least partially cover an underlying adhesive material. The slippery material may be applied so as to only partially cover the adhesive, or applied to completely cover the adhesive material and then etched using solvent to expose the underlying adhesive material, or applied in conjunction with a masking material.

Abstract: A puncture indicating glove comprises a bilayer formed by an inner glove layer and an outer glove layer, the outer glove having an opacity in the range of 23-34%. The opacity of the over glove is controlled by the inclusion in the over glove of a fine particulate material, in particular selected from the group comprising titanium dioxide, silica, barite powder, barium sulphate, barium carbonate, calcium carbonate, gypsum, clay, talc, alumina white, basic magnesium carbonate, zinc oxide. The inner glove has a chroma range C* which is controlled to result in a glove that indicates optimally with transparent liquid and strongly coloured liquids such as blood. The inner glove has a chroma C* which is greater than 30, advantageously greater than 40, more preferably greater than 43, and in particular greater than 46.
