Abstract: A hair clipper attachment comb is provided for use with a powered hair clipper having a clipper bladeset including a stationary blade and a moving blade reciprocating laterally relative to the stationary blade. Included on the attachment comb is a comb base having a rear edge in operational relationship with the stationary blade and an opposite front edge, the base defining a centerline extending between the rear edge and the front edge. A plurality of comb teeth are provided, each having a tooth base associated with the front edge and a tip opposite the tooth base. The teeth are arranged on the comb to have a nonuniform spacing between adjacent teeth relative to the centerline, such that the spacings of the teeth are bilaterally symmetrical about the centerline.

Abstract: A survivability capsule for the driver compartment of an armored vehicle resists explosive loads and improves the survivability of the driver. The survivability capsule has a seamless unibody structure made from molded composite armor and is installed within the driver compartment of an armored vehicle. The unibody is shaped complementary to the interior shape of the driver compartment for a contour fit therein and is rigidly attached to the frame of the vehicle.

Abstract: An assisted rescue system to extract a seatbelt harnessed person from a vehicle. The system comprises a seatbelt harness and seat liner which together form a sling. The seatbelt harness is connected at anchor points with a releasable securing mechanism that is operable with a single release action.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical release systems comprising an therapeutically effective amount of flibanserin.

Abstract: An armor panel provides a continuous armored strike face defined within a periphery. The panel is manufactured from a composite material having a plurality of armor tiles embedded in a polymeric matrix that is structurally reinforced by a layer of fiber fabric. The armored strike face may be contoured to accommodate the base upon which it will be mounted. In some applications, an armor system is assembled from at least two of the armor panels. In such a system, at least a portion of the periphery of each armor panel defines an internal seam edge of the armor system. Each such periphery portion is in a lapping relationship with the corresponding internal seam edge of another armor panel.

Abstract: A system for mounting armor to a structure such as a vehicle hull has a base for attachment to the structure, an adapter engaged with the base and with the armor for coupling the base to the armor, and a fastener, for example a pin or a bolt) for rigidly securing the adapter with the base. The system advantageously permits retrofitting of previously unarmored structures and/or permits replacement of damaged or obsolete armor. A kit for retrofitting a structure with armor has a base for attachment to the structure, an adapter for engagement with the base and with the armor for coupling the base to the armor, a fastener for rigidly engaging the adapter with the base, and instructions for mounting the armor on the structure using the base, the adapter and the fastener.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a pharmaceutical controlled release system for administration, particularly oral administration, of active substances with pH-dependent solubilities, comprising a) a core material containing or consisting of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable pH modifiers; b) optionally an insulating layer, c) a first layer containing or consisting of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable water-insoluble polymers; d) a second layer containing or consisting of at least one active substance having a pH-dependent solubility; e) a third layer containing or consisting of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable polymers having anionic or no ionic groups; and f) optionally a fourth layer, preferably in form of an outer coating layer. It is provided a pH-independent release profile of active substances having pH-dependent solubilities in vitro and vivo.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiple unit pellet system (MUPS) in form of a tablet containing a pharmaceutically active ingredient, characterized in that the MUPS is an optionally coated immediate release pharmaceutical dosage form for oral administration.

Abstract: There is disclosed a disc brake system incorporating a split caliper having a first caliper half integrally formed with a mounting plate for mounting the caliper on a vehicle. A second caliper half is fixedly and removably attached to the first caliper half in spaced apart relation to provide room for a rotor to be disposed between the caliper halves. The joiner plates permit adjustment of the distance between the caliper halves to accommodate rotors of different thickness. The split design provides a slimmer caliper profile permitting the use of larger diameter rotors in the same space. A splined rotor carrier permits mounting of the rotor on to a wheel hub housing having a corresponding spline. The disc brake system of the present invention is particularly useful in retrofitting existing vehicles, especially light armored vehicles (LAV's).

Abstract: The armour repair patch uses a simplified adhesive system for securement of the repair patch in the field without specialized equipment. A preferred adhesive system includes a pressure sensitive adhesive provided on a back surface of a body member and a fabric overlay cover is and extending beyond the body member. This combination provides an effective system for battlefield repair.

Abstract: A supporting component (10) for assembling an inductive element comprises a base on the top face of which a protrusion for accommodating the inductive element is embodied, wherein a recess is provided in said protrusion for receiving an electronic component and/or a ferrite element. Furthermore, an interference suppression coil device with a supporting component is provided, wherein the supporting component comprises a protrusion serving for accommodating an interference suppression coil. Moreover, a method for the manufacture of an inductive component to be assembled on a printed circuit board is provided.
