Abstract: A HUD for a helmet having an image projector attached to a body and configured to project images. The HUD has a projection optical combiner configured to produce a transparent display of the images. A holder supports the combiner outside the helmet such that the images are visible to a user of the helmet when the head-up display is in use. A forward facing part of the combiner, such as the entire combiner or its forward facing portion, is user replaceable. A system that has the HUD and a spare user replaceable forward facing part and a system having the HUD and the helmet are additionally disclosed.

Abstract: A composition for treating wood-based material including at least one C1-C7 monocarboxylic acid salt or C1-C7 monocarboxylic acid or a mixture thereof as active agent against deteriation of wood. The composition also includes alkyd emulsion of high unsaturated fatty acid content and/or aluminum ion containing compound in the form of polyaluminum formate in a same aqueous liquid carrier as the C1-C7 monocarboxylic acid salt or C1-C7 monocarboxylic acid or a mixture thereof.
