Abrasion and/or puncture resistant fabrics, airbag cushions, and methods

Typical road surfaces are concrete, and gravel filled asphalt. They are very abrasive to fabrics that slide on those surfaces. For the new side impact curtain-type airbag, in a rollover situation, the airbag needs to protect the occupant from directly contacting the road hazard and should not deflate quickly or break when sliding on such road surfaces. We have found that a layer of elastomer can provide much better abrasion resistance than a layer of heavy industrial fabric. A Jacquard bag coated with 1.2 oz/yd 2 polyurethane showed significant increase in air leakage rate after 5 cycles of concrete sliding abrasion. A 3 mil thick polyurethane film was laminated to the coated Jacquard woven airbag. After 110 cycles of sliding abrasion using the same concrete, no visual damage or change in bag leakage was observed. This finding indicates surprisingly better abrasion resistance of a thin elastomer film than a heavy industrial fabric.

Reflective optical element

A support for optical elements is described. The support includes a base substrate with high specific stiffness and a finishing layer. The base substrate is a non-oxide ceramic material, preferably a carbide, such as boron carbide or silicon carbide. The finishing layer is preferably Ge or an alloy of Al and Si. The finishing layer is or is capable of being processed to provide a surface with low finish. Low finish is achieved by diamond turning or polishing the finishing material. The finishing layer has a coefficient of thermal expansion similar to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the base substrate. The optical element optionally includes a reflective stack on the finishing layer.

Crispr ribonucleoprotein complex genome editing of human innate immune cells

The invention provides an optimized electroporation strategy for non-viral CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (cRNP) genomic editing of primary innate immune cells, a methodology that can, for example, produce an almost complete loss of target gene expression from a single electroporation. This methodology has been validated in human peripheral blood-derived monocyte derived macrophages, natural killer cells, and monocyte derived dendritic cells. This gene editing technology can, for example, be used to delete inhibitory molecules in natural killer cells and dendritic cells for adoptive cell therapy in cancer. It can also be used to manipulate gene expression in adoptively transferred tolorogenic dendritic cells for treatment of type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.
