Historically, smelling salts contained ammonium carbonate and perfume; modern preparations typically consist of ammonia dissolved in water and ethanol, sometimes infused with a scented oil, such as eucalyptus. The salts release ammonia gas that irritates the nose and lung membranes, triggering an inhalation reflex, which prompts the muscles that control breathing to work faster and helps restore oxygen flow to the brain and body. 6, record 1, English, - smelling%20salts

Soft exoskeletons, or exosuits, are clothing-like devices made of fabric or elastomers that wrap around a person's limb and work in parallel with his/her muscles... Characteristic of exosuits is that they rely on the structural integrity of the human body to transfer reaction forces between body segments, rather than having their own frame, thus acting more like external muscles than an external skeleton. 4, record 3, English, - soft%20exoskeleton
