  • Body armor
    Patent number: 9003562
    Abstract: A body armor system that includes a fabric carrier configured (i) to be worn by a user and (ii) to hold armor plates. A back armor plate is held by the carrier. A right side plate is held by the carrier and a left side plate is held by the carrier. Straps are configured to wrap horizontally across the user and matingly connect to each other. Straps integral to the carrier are configured to wrap down over the front of the user and matingly connect to the connected horizontal straps. A right thigh plate and a left thigh plate are matingly connected with straps around right and left thighs of the user.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Army
    Inventors: Michael J. Clauson, Marilyn M. Peterson, Michael Nranian
  • Spintronic electronic device and circuits
    Patent number: 8860159
    Abstract: A spintronic electronic apparatus having a multilayer structure. The apparatus includes a substrate, having disposed in succession upon the substrate; a bottom interface layer; a pinned layer; a tunneling barrier; a free layer; and a top interface layer, wherein the apparatus operates as a non-resonant magnetic tunnel junction in a large amplitude, out-of-plane magnetization precession regime having weakly current dependent, large diode volt-watt sensitivity when external microwave signals that exceed a predetermined threshold current and have a frequency that is lower than a predetermined level excite the magnetization precession.
