Abstract: A garment including a one-way inlet line including a desiccant to remove moisture from the user's breath, the inlet line being connected to a chamber formed by at least a portion of the front and back of the garment. The line extends through a portion of the garment to a designated location where warm air from the user's breath is distributed in the chamber. There is a second valve that the user operates to release the contained air, such as when one goes inside or when one wants to replenish the warm air after a period of time has passed.

Abstract: An ordinance, such as a rocket propelled grenade, shield includes a net with hard points at select nodes of the net and cable guides on the side of the net. Cables under tension extend through the cable guides supporting the net typically in conjunction with a top cross bar, spaced top struts, and spaced bottom struts. This framis design facilitates entering and exiting the vehicle or structure.

Abstract: A plunge milling system (10) for effecting rapid removal of material from a workpiece during a rough and/or finishing cutting procedure. In this system, an axial cutting tool (12) is rotated about its axis and axially moved into engagement with the workpiece for cutting material from the workpiece. When the tool (12) is engaged with the workpiece, the tool is also moved transaxially and simultaneously with the axial movement whereby material is removed from the workpiece along a curved path.

Abstract: A plunge milling system (10) for effecting rapid removal of material from a workpiece blank during a rough and/or finishing cutting procedure. In this system, an axial cutting tool (12) is rotated about its axis and axially moved into engagement with the workpiece blank for cutting material from the workpiece. When the tool (12) is engaged with the workpiece, the tool is also moved transaxially and simultaneously with the axial movement whereby material is removed from the workpiece blank along a curved path.

Abstract: A liquid level detecting system for detecting a conducting liquid level in a non conductive container which utilizes a grounding rod mounted in a lower portion of the container and a conductive sensing rod mounted at a position above the grounding rod. An oscillator is provided having a frequency in the range of about 600 hertz to about 100 kilohertz. The output of the oscillator is applied to the sensing rod through a high impedance circuit and a high pass filter. In another embodiment, the high pass filter may have the higher end frequencies attenuated to produce a band pass filter which selectively passes the frequency of the oscillator. The voltage drop across the circuit which includes the conductive sensing rod to ground is detected by a voltage peak detector and a threshold detector to produce an output which detects the drops in voltage when the conductive fluid level in the tank rises so that both the sensing rod and the grounding rod are covered, completing the circuit.

Abstract: A method for cleaning the surface of a semiconductor wafer by removing residual slurry particles adhered to the wafer surface after chemical-mechanical polishing is provided. The semiconductor wafer is subjected to a first polishing step using a basic aqueous solution of a nonionic polymeric surfactant comprising alkylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, preferably nonylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, at a concentration between about 30 to about 100 ppm and a quaternary ammonium hydroxide such as TMAH at a concentration between about 2.5% and about 6% by weight. A downforce of between about 0 and 2 psi (1.4.times.10.sup.5 dynes/cm.sup.2) is applied for at least 15 seconds. A second polishing step with an applied downforce of at least 4 psi is then employed while applying purified water. The method provides at least a ten fold reduction in the number of submicronic slurry particles remaining on the wafer surface and can be completed within a commercially acceptable amount of time. In addition, particles as small as 0.007 .mu.
