20120231488	FLUID SAMPLE COLLECTION DEVICE - Disclosed herein is a sample collection device for an aqueous fluid, such as whole blood, serum, plasma and urine. The device comprises a cartridge body defining an elongate sample collection passage that has open ends. The passage is arranged to draw the fluid into the passage by capillary action. The passage is provided along a portion of its length with a sample metering stop in the form of a hydrophobic coating arranged to prevent flow of the fluid by capillary action thereacross. A sample receiving portion of the passage extending between a collection end and the metering stop is non-linear, and preferably defines a pair of straight limbs connected by a bend. By providing a non-linear passage in this way, the maximum gravitational force which can act on the collected sample is reduced as compared to a conventional linear passage, thereby reducing the tendency of the sample to leak from the device and potentially avoiding the need for one or both ends of the passage to be sealed. The sample receiving portion of the passage may be provided with a hydrophilic coating to enhance the capillary action. A particularly suitable hydrophilic coating for a whole blood sample collection device is heparin, which may also serve as an anticoagulant for the blood.	09-13-2012

Further, the textile can include at least one flap to facilitate readily joining the textile with another component such as another textile to create a composite construction.	04-09-2015
20150099410	COMPOSITE TEXTILE - A flexible textile or cloth is provided that can be hardened to a rigid or semi-rigid condition. The textile can incorporate reinforcement fibers to provide improved mechanical properties. The reinforcement fibers can be added in a various configurations without unnecessarily increasing the weight of the textile. Further, the textile can include at least one flap to facilitate readily joining the textile with another component such as another textile to create a composite construction.	04-09-2015
20150352804	CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITE - An improved, composite textile that can become rigid or semi-rigid by e.g., applying a liquid is provided. The composite can include a high loft non-woven layer having a first face and a second face and a midpoint between the first face and the second face. The high loft non-woven layer includes bulking fibers crossing the midpoint plane that form a tangential line at the midpoint plane that is at non-zero angle as set forth herein.	12-10-2015
20150352809	CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITE - An improved, composite textile that can become rigid or semi-rigid by e.g., applying a liquid is provided. The composite can include a high loft non-woven layer having bulking fibers and a binding material; a cured rigid or semi-rigid solid located in the high loft non-woven; a filter layer on a first face of the high loft non-woven layer; and a liquid barrier layer on a second face of the high loft non-woven layer. The liquid barrier layer may have a difference in in-plane stiffness as set forth herein. The distance between the first face and second face of the high loft non-woven layer may not vary by more than a certain localized distance across the high loft non-woven layer when the high loft non-woven layer is in a flat state or has a radius of curvature of not less than the thickness of the non-woven layer as set forth herein.	12-10-2015

20110311755	IMPREGNATED CLOTH - A knitted spacer fabric having a tightly knitted bottom layer, a more loosely knitted upper layer and linking fibres extending across the space between the lower and upper faces. Settable material, e.g. cement, is introduced into the space between the upper and lower faces and can be caused to set by the addition of a liquid, e.g. water. Until set, the fabric is flexible and can be shaped but after the material in space has set, the fabric is rigid and can be used as a structural element in a wide range of situations. The bottom layer has an extension that extends beyond the upper face and is connected to the upper face by elastic connecting fibres that draw the extension towards the other face, thereby at least partly closing the space at the edge of the cloth and preventing the settable material from spilling out.	12-22-2011

The bottom layer has an extension that extends beyond the upper face and is connected to the upper face by elastic connecting fibres that draw the extension towards the other face, thereby at least partly closing the space at the edge of the cloth and preventing the settable material from spilling out. In addition, the packing of the settable material and maximum space between the faces are such that only a predetermined amount of liquid can be accommodated within the space and that amount is matched to the water required to set the cement.	05-23-2013
