Abstract: A semi-fabricated armour layer for use in production of an armour panel adapted to protect a body from an incoming projectile comprises a carrier (30) and a plurality of armor elements (20). Each armour element has front and rear end surfaces and a side surface extending therebetween along a height axis of the element. The carrier is flexible and each of a majority of the armour elements is bonded to the carrier at one of its end surfaces and is free of bonding to adjacent armour elements at its side surface. When the carrier has a planar orientation, at least a majority of the armour elements has their height axes essentially parallel to each other and, when the carrier is at least slightly bent, the height axis of at least one of the elements is inclined relative to the height axis of another of the armour elements adjacent thereto.

Abstract: A noise suppressing apparatus suppresses a noise component of a sound signal which contains the noise component and a signal component. In the apparatus, a frequency analyzing section divides the sound signal into a plurality of frames such that adjacent frames overlap with each other along a time axis, and computes a first spectrum of each frame. A noise suppressing section suppresses a noise component of the first spectrum so as to provide a second spectrum of each frame in which the noise component is suppressed. A frequency specifying section specifies a frequency of a noise component of each frame. A phase controlling section varies a phase of the noise component corresponding to the specified frequency in the second spectrum by a different variation amount each frame. A signal synthesizing section combines the frames after the second spectrum of each frame is processed by the phase controlling means, such that adjacent frames overlap with each other along the time axis so as to output the sound signal.

Abstract: An endoscopic bipolar forceps for clamping and sealing tissue includes first and second jaw members pivotally attached in opposing relation relative to one another which are moveable from a first open position wherein the jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second clamping position wherein the jaw members cooperate to grasp tissue therebetween. A drive rod assembly connects each of the jaw members to a source of electrical energy such that the jaw members are capable of conducting bipolar energy through the tissue held therebetween. A handle attached to the drive rod assembly imparts movement of the first and second jaw members from the first and second positions. At least one stop member is attached to a tissue sealing surface of the jaw members for controlling the distance between the jaw members. The forceps may also include a yoke member for insulating the jaw members from one another to prevent short circuiting of the forceps. Preferably, the yoke member and jaw members interface is dimensioned to withstand the high shearing forces normally associated with sealing tissue.
