  • Publication number: 20070151441
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shield structure (1) against flying pieces, such as bullets, fragments, and other similar bodies, in order to stop them or to reduce their impact force, formed of a hollow structure (1), which is filled with, or can be filled with a medium, and with its aid brought into an operating state. The shield structure is compartmentalized (3) and contains an absorbent material (4), which is able to absorb the medium. The invention also relates to a method, with the aid of which it is possible to stop flying bodies, or to reduce their impact force.

  • Publication number: 20040213382
    Abstract: The present invention relates to directing an x-ray beam to image data receiver attached to a holder, especially to such systems used in dental x-ray imaging. In prior art it is known to use an assembly including a sensor holder and an aiming arm attached together, to be attached to the x-ray source in order to aim and orientate the x-ray beam correctly to the sensor. Such systems have proven to be difficult to use in practice, however, because of e.g. the troubles involved in keeping the sensor in place inside the patient's mouth while making the connection between the aiming arm and the x-ray device. The invention provides an enhancement by providing an aiming arm with a handle, which may be used for not only helping handling the thin aiming arm but also in positioning, aiming and orientating the x-ray beam.
