Abstract: A beam-type strain gage pressure transducer is disclosed having strips of piezo-resistive material supported on a sensing beam, one being subject to compression and another to tension in response to applied pressure. The beam structure may be made by screw machine techniques to form a beam integral with a circular base structure. A highly flexible diaphragm permits force generated by application of pressure to be transmitted entirely to the beam. Components and construction are suited to high production and automated assembly techniques.

Abstract: There is disclosed a multilayered protective trouser comprised of: a trouser inner liner including a fly opening and a storm flap folded upon itself to form two layers having fastening means secured thereto; and a trouser outer shell including a fly opening and an outer shell tab having fastening means secured thereto. The storm flap extends across both of the fly openings, while the outer shell tab is removably positioned between the two layers of the storm flap to provide removable attachments between the storm flap and the outer shell tab.
