Abstract: A method and apparatus for defeating high-velocity projectiles. A plurality of disks (52) of equal size and having a thickness greater than 0.100" are milled in a plurality of places (54,56,58). Each milled place having a radius of curvature approximately equal to the radius of curvature of the disk. The disks are then laid out in an imbricated pattern row by row such that each disk in a row is in substantially a straight line with the other disks in the row and overlaps a milled place of a disk in a row above its row and has its milled place overlapped by a disk in the row below its row. The imbricated pattern is then adhered to a flexible, high tensile strength substrate (80) and overlaid by a second high tensile strength layer (82) such that the imbricated pattern is enveloped between the substrate and the second layer. The envelope is then coupled to a soft body armor backing. In an alternative embodiment, a method and apparatus for defeating high-velocity projectiles. A plurality of disks (152) of equal size comprised of fiber induced ceramic composites are provided. The disks are laid out in an imbricated pattern row by row such that each disk in a row is in substantially a straight line with the other disks in the row and overlaps a segment of a disk in an adjacent row.

Title: Multiple layer sheet materials, methods and apparatus
IPC: B29C48/495
Filed: 1989-06-05
Granted: 1993-02-18
Abstract: Method and apparatus for fabricating multiple layer sheet materials are adapted to minimize the time of exposure of a sensitive polymeric melt stream to contact with metal. The method comprises encapsulating the sensitive melt stream (12) with a second polymeric melt stream (16) which preferably is of a lower viscosity, at the outlet of the apparatus or extruder (10) which produces the sensitive melt stream (12). When the encapsulating melt stream (16) has a lower viscosity than the sensitive melt stream, a transport means (36) - an elongated pipe - is preferably employed between the encapsulating means (20) and an extrusion die (42), whereby thickness variations about the circumference of the encapsulating melt stream (16) are reduced. The method and apparatus are especially beneficial for the extrusion of vinylidene chloride copolymers in the manufacture of multi-layer packaging films containing one or more layers of VDC copolymers. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Filed: 1999-06-30
Granted: 2002-04-11
Abstract: The sample (20) is compressed inside a cylindrical mold (17) between two parallel plates (16,19). The axis of the mold X can be inclined relative to the axis perpendicular to the plates Y and the X axis rotated about the Y axis. The mold has an external cylindrical sleeve (40) with axis Y and an internal cylindrical sleeve (43) with axis X, both connected to the plates via bearings. The means of compressing the sample are mounted on the chassis (2) and designed to apply a constant load F on one of the plates along an axis Y perpendicular to the plates. There are also means of controlling the means of compression and turning, and means of measuring the heights of the sample between the plates and the shearing loads on the sample as a function of the number of rotations of the X axis. A container (7) is at the top of the chassis, which has constant rigidity over 360 degrees and openings (11) in its top (10) and bottom (12). The top opening can be closed with a cover (15) which is to be pressed on by the upper plate. The bottom opening allows through a movable element (22) of the means of compression. The means of applying a turning motion comprise an external cylindrical sleeve (40) with axis Y mounted to rotate in the container via bearings (41,42). A cylindrical internal sleeve (43) with axis X is mounted to rotate about an outer mold with axis X intended to receive the mold via bearings (44,45). There are means of driving the external sleeve in rotation and the internal sleeve is mounted inside the external sleeve to oscillate, pivoting about an axis Z perpendicular to X and Y in the plane of the upper plate. The means of inclining the axis X of the mold relative to the axis Y include a system for controlling the angle between the external sleeve and the internal sleeve, mounted in the plane perpendicular to Z. The lower part of the chassis contains a lower plate, an upper plate on which the container is fixed and a number of columns (6) parallel to the Y axis connecting the two plates together. The lower chassis plate supports the means of compression, which comprises a driven worm screw (26) and a cover (22) moving along the Y axis and pressing on the lower compression plate. The cover is guided by rollers (28) acting with the columns and passing through an opening in the upper chassis plate via a bearing (24). A low friction plate is placed between the top of the cover and the lower compression plate. The worm is driven by an electrical servomotor with reduction and a displacement coder. The angle control system includes a vernier and means of measuring the compression achieved.

Title: System and method for scheduling broadcast of and access to video programs and other data using customer profiles
Inventor: HERZ FREDERICK
IPC: G06Q30/02
Filed: 1995-11-29
Granted: 1999-03-25
Abstract: A system and method for scheduling the receipt of desired movies and other forms of data from a network which simultaneously distributes many sources of such data to many customers, as in a cable television system. Customer profiles are developed for the recipient describing how important certain characteristics of the broadcast video program, movie or other data are to each customer. From these profiles, an “agreement matrix” is calculated by comparing the recipient's profiles to the actual profiles of the characteristics of the available video programs, movies, or other data. The agreement matrix thus characterizes the attractiveness of each video program, movie, or other data to each prospective customer. “Virtual” channels are generated from the agreement matrix to produce a series of video or data programming which will provide the greatest satisfaction to each customer. Feedback paths are also provided so that the customer's profiles and/or the profiles of the video programs or other data may be modified to reflect actual usage. Kiosks are also developed which assist customers in the selection of videos, music, books, and the like in accordance with the customer's objective profiles.

Title: System and method for maintaining a logically consistent backup using minimal data transfer
Inventor: OHRAN RICHARD
IPC: G06F11/14
Filed: 1997-11-07
Granted: 2000-11-23
Abstract: A system and method for comparing mass storage devices. Generally, a mass storage device is subdivided into data blocks representing physical storage locations of some particular size. For each one (or group) of data block(s), a digest is calculated, wherein the digest is an alternate representation of the data stored within the data block(s). A digest is highly dependent on the data it represents such that different data is extremely likely to result in different digests. This high dependence allows for comparing digests rather than directly comparing the data stored at each data block. Furthermore, by calculating a digest that requires fewer bits than the data block(s) it represents, the amount of data that must be transferred between mass storage devices during comparison is minimized.

Title: Methods and device for in vitro detection and characterization of psychoactives using analysis of repetitive electrical activity in a neuronal sample
Inventor: LYNCH GARY
IPC: G01N33/487
Filed: 2000-06-21
Granted: 2004-04-29
Abstract: This relates to methods for the detection of psychoactive compounds in an in vitro neuronal tissue sample by detecting oscillations of extracellular voltage desirably before and after the introduction of a candidate sample onto an in vitro neuronal tissue sample and for devices useful in practicing the methods. Analysis of the extracellular voltage parameters leads to indication of the presence of psychoactive material in the candidate sample and information as to its pharmacological activity and/or composition. Further, it relates to a process of initiating and maintaining the presence of repetitive neuronal activity within the in vitro sample. Additionally, this includes a method for the stimulation of or initiation of repetitive neuronal activity, e.g., EEG, in an in vitro neuronal tissue sample by introducing a stimulating composition comprising compounds that facilitate or mimic the actions of acetylcholine, serotonin, or catecholamines, such as carbachol, or by subjecting the in vitro neuronal sample to electrical stimulation parameters.
