Abstract: A helmet is disclosed. The helmet comprises an outer shell defining a cavity to receive a head when worn. The outer shell includes a domed inner surface facing towards the cavity and an opposite outer surface. A liner is disposed in the cavity, the liner having a head facing surface and an outer surface opposite the head facing surface, the outer surface facing towards the domed inner surface of the outer shell. The liner comprises a three-dimensional lattice formed of a plurality of cells and at least one liner skin integrally formed with the three-dimensional lattice, the liner skin forming part of the head facing surface of the liner, the liner skin covering less than an entirety of the three-dimensional lattice so as to define a skinless surface area on the head facing surface of the liner.

Abstract: In one aspect there is provided a self-removing animal injection apparatus for injecting an animal with a liquid medication. The apparatus comprises a shaft having a first end and a syringe. A needle is provided at the first end of the shaft and defines a longitudinal direction. The needle is in fluid communication with the syringe. First and second disengaging members are movable substantially along the longitudinal direction and operable to assist with disengagement of the animal injection apparatus from the animal, once at least some of the liquid medication has been injected into the animal.

Abstract: A protective helmet having a liner assembly received in an outer shell and connected to the outer shell, with front, rear, side and top portions each including at least one zone where the liner assembly includes a plurality of overlapping layers, each of the layers being made from one of first, second, third and fourth materials, where the first material has a greater density and/or hardness than that of the second, third and fourth materials, the second material has a greater density and/or hardness than that of the third and fourth materials, and the third material has a greater density and/or hardness than that of the fourth material, and wherein the liner assembly includes one or more particular zones set forth in Table 3 or 4.

Abstract: A protective helmet including a helmet body, a facemask extending from the front portion to cover at least a portion of a face of a wearer, and one or more adjustment mechanisms securing the facemask to the helmet body. The adjustment mechanism(s) is/are connected to the helmet, include(s) an engagement member engaged with the facemask, is/are selectively engageable with the facemask in at least two vertically spaced apart positions of the facemask relative to the helmet body, and allow(s) toolless adjustment between the vertically spaced apart positions. Adjustment mechanisms and methods of positioning a facemask are also discussed.

Abstract: A range animal injection apparatus has a syringe, a pressure chamber, a needle and a self-removal system which may include a contact member positioned only on one side of the needle and projections extending from an end of the dart. When the apparatus hits an animal the contact member is pushed back opening a valve at the needle end of the syringe. Pressure in the pressure chamber acts on the plunger of the syringe pushing medication into the animal. The plunger eventually closes the valve and moves the contact member forward to remove the apparatus from the animal. Pinching is reduced by the contact member being positioned below and not around the needle. The projections help keep the dart relatively perpendicular to the hide reducing pinching and increasing leverage. The projections also reduce rotation of the apparatus, helping to keep the contact member below the needle.

Abstract: A method is provided for dynamically controlling the focus of a signal pre-equalized by time reversal of an estimated propagation channel between a source antenna of a source communicating entity and a destination antenna of a destination communicating entity at a current instant, said method comprising steps for evaluation by the destination communicating entity of a relative focus quality of the pre-equalized signal sent by the source antenna and received by the destination antenna, compared to a quality at a focal point, and if the evaluated relative focus quality does not satisfy a predetermined criterion, for request, by the destination communicating entity, to modify the focus addressed to the source communicating entity for a subsequent instant.

Abstract: The PN junction of a substrate diode in a sophisticated SOI device may be formed on the basis of an embedded in situ doped semiconductor material, thereby providing superior diode characteristics. For example, a silicon/germanium semiconductor material may be formed in a cavity in the substrate material, wherein the size and shape of the cavity may be selected so as to avoid undue interaction with metal silicide material.

Abstract: An electric field emitted by an electronic equipment is measured by producing at least one radiation measurement in the radiating field of the equipment. Several sets of simultaneous near-field measurements, within a measuring surface located at a short distance from the equipment, are performed. The sets of performed measurements are processed by estimating the statistical properties of the radiated field at any point outside the measuring surface.

Abstract: Packaging suitable for food products has at least one wall which is formed in a semi-rigid material such as cardboard and has at least one edge defining an opening for inserting articles, in particular foods, and at least one first flap articulated to that edge along a folding line. The packaging can be conformed into a service configuration in which the flap uncovers the opening and a first storage configuration in which the flap closes the opening. The wall includes reversible deformation arrangements for conforming the packaging into a second storage configuration in which the first flap clamps the wall in a substantially sealed manner along the folding line and in the area of the edge.
