The present invention relates to a composite comprising (1) a bottom layer comprising expanded thermoplastic elastomer particles; and (2) a surface layer on the bottom layer, and the use of such composites in flooring surfaces sports, sports hall floorings, swimming pool hall floorings, running tracks, sports facilities, playgrounds, kindergartens, park walkway and pavements.

A user positioning apparatus is provided including a malleable pad including a first gel elastomer. The first gel elastomer is releasably connectable to the second gel elastomer, and an adhesive layer is connected to the second gel elastomer. Further provided is a user positioning method. The user positioning method includes providing a malleable pad including a first gel elastomer, providing a platform, connecting the malleable pad to the platform via the first gel elastomer, providing a user, and positioning a body part of the user on the malleable pad. Further provided are a releasable fastening system, a releasable band, and a method for connecting a user to a platform. Further provided is a user positioning device including a malleable pad including a gel elastomer, the gel elastomer including a reaction product of a composition including an isocyanate prepolymer and a polyether polyol.

Energy dampening and/or dispersing systems may include a gel member having a top surface and a bottom surface, an aerated gel member having a top surface and a bottom surface, and the top surface of the aerated gel member secured to the bottom surface of the gel member. In some embodiments, the energy dampening and/or dispersing systems may include a support structure secured to the gel member, and a cover extending over the top surface of the support structure and the bottom surface of the aerated gel member. The energy dampening and/or dispersing systems may be operable in ballistic garments, footwear, sporting goods, and vehicles.

The present invention relates to a seat for providing of a seat for a person on a bicycle, including an optional support assembly for mounting of the title to the bicycle, such as including a support member for supporting by the support assembly of a seat assembly. The support member is preferably mountable or fastened to a saddle pin. The seat assembly includes a support element, fixation means for fixation of the seat assembly to the support member, buffer means, supported by the support element, for providing of a buffering all forces between the bicycle and the person, and a seat surface defined by the upper side of the buffer means. The support element provides a substantially rigid support supporting the buffer means relative to the support member, the support element in top view substantially defines the shape of this support, and the support element is arrangeable on the support member.

Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for a disposable kit containing medical items configured for a medical device including a head cradle to support a head of a subject, the disposable kit includes a container that encloses a head cradle pad configured to be affixed to the head cradle, at least one fiducial marker configured to be disposed on a location at the head of the subject, and at least one enclosure configured to cover a portion of the medical device.

An apparatus comprised of a first portion comprising a generally flexible fabric, and a second portion or layer comprising a gel material formed in a generally planar rectangular shape. Positioned below the second layer is a third portion or a damping layer having a series of dampers positioned thereon, where the dampers are elastomeric flexible and compressible. The three portions are laminated together.

The present disclosure relates to adhesive article that include a first, stretch releasable adhesive and patterned adhesive elements on, within, or partially embedded in a surface of the adhesive. The adhesive elements can act as spacers between the adhesive surface and the mounting surface to prevent full contact and wet out of the first adhesive, whereby the article can be removed from the wall and placed at a new location without damage to the wall surface or the article. Once the final location is selected, the separation created by the engineered elements can be overcome by applying sufficient pressure; the first adhesive can contact and adhere more permanently to the wall. Thus, a stretch releasable adhesive articles of the present disclosure can move freely relative to the desired mounting surface, while developing additional tack and holding power after sufficient pressure is applied.

A bioelectrode (1) includes: a main electrode film (3); a nonpolarizable electrode film (4) disposed on one surface of the main electrode film (3); and a conductive gel film (5) disposed on the opposite surface of the nonpolarizable electrode film (4) from the main electrode film. The nonpolarizable electrode film (4) is constituted by an electrode film that contains supported silver chloride, the supported silver chloride including (i) a support and (ii) silver chloride supported on the support.
