Abstract: The invention provides an insect repellent composition that repels flies, gnats, mosquitoes, lice, ticks, and fleas. The insect repellent composition includes an effective amount of a phosphorous containing compound having the formula (RO)3P=Ox or (RO)2P=Ox(OH) alone or in synergistic combination with any one or more compounds selected from a group comprising C10-C20 mono-unsaturated hydrocarbons, optionally substituted C1-C10 alkyl esters, and dicarboxylic acids; wherein R is an optionally substituted C1-C10 alkyl group or aryl or aryl substituted with C1-C10 alkyl or alkoxy; and x is 0 or 1, and a carrier vehicle.

Abstract: A bullet resistant glass panel comprising a plurality or parallel glass sheets arranged adjacent to each other. Each glass sheet includes at least one layer of a transparent polymeric film on a first side and at least one layer of a transparent polymeric film on a second side of the glass sheet. The total thickness of the or each layer of transparent polymeric film on the second side is greater than the total thickness of the or each layer of transparent polymeric film on the first side. The first sides are arranged to face a direction from which the impact of a bullet is expected. The thickness of the or each further glass sheet is less than or equal to the thickness of a preceding glass sheet.
