Abstract

The invention relates to a liquid applied roofing membrane which contains a textile with a compatibility coating covering essentially all of the fibers of the textile forming a coated textile, a first membrane, and a second membrane. The textile contains a plurality of yarns, the yarns comprising a plurality of fibers. The compatibility coating has a weight of between about 0.5 and 10% of the weight of the textile and contains a first chemistry. The first membrane contains a second chemistry and is located on the first side of the textile, forms the lower surface of the roofing membrane, and covers at least a majority of the second side of the textile. The second membrane contains a third chemistry and is located on the second side of the textile. The first, second, and third chemistries comprise the same class of polymeric material.

Abstract

Collagen-glycosaminoglycan membrane shell scaffold core composites for connective tissue engineering that avoids aspects of the typical tradeoff between mechanical properties (i.e. modulus, failure strength) and bioactivity (i.e., permeability and porosity) for porous tissue engineering scaffolds. The relative density of the collagen glycosaminoglycan scaffold core can be about 0.5 to about 0.95 while the membrane shell can be about 0.001 to 25 about 0.2. The core-shell composite can be tubular and the composite can have a diameter of about 1 mm to about 20 mm. The collagen glycosaminoglycan membrane shell can be perforated with about 25 to about 1000 micrometers openings or alternatively can be embossed with any range of pattern features from about 25 to about 1000 micrometers in size. The porous collagen glycosaminoglycan scaffold core can be populated with cells such as adult or embryonic stem cells, tenocytes, osteoblasts, nerve cells, cardiac cells, myocytes, fibroblasts or combinations thereof.

Abstract

A service window assembly includes a window frame and a door slidably mounted within the frame. The door is moveable between an open position and a closed position and is biased toward the closed position. A magnet is connected to one of the frame and the door and is operable in an active state and an inactive state, and a magnetic contact is connected to the other of the frame and the door. The magnetic contact is located proximate the magnet when the door is in the open position, and when the magnet is in the active state, the magnet and the magnetic contact form a magnetic connection, securing the door in the open position. A sensor monitors the presence of a user. The sensor is in communication with the magnet, so that the magnet is in the active state when the sensor detects that the user is present, and the magnet is in the inactive state when the sensor detects that the user is not present.
