  • Publication number: 20040060941
    Abstract: An integrated dispensing and disposal receptacle with a first opening formed in the top wall through which tissues or other products are withdrawn, and a second opening for waste tissue to be reinserted into the container. The second opening includes a self-closing retaining feature such as a folding flap or slotted plastic film through which the waste tissue is inserted. The self-closing feature prevents the waste tissue from falling back out of the container. Inside the container, a moveable barrier is positioned to segregate new product from used product. The barrier moves within the container from one end to the other as the tissues are removed for use and inserted into the disposal receptacle after use.

  • Patent number: 6619180
    Abstract: A weight efficient spaced armor system that utilizes three-sided armor elements also includes a method of adaptive concealment to provide a reduced detection signature for combat vehicles, ships, or other military structures. The tri-bar elements are rotated to three positions, each of the three positions exposing a different outer surface so that three different signature management treatments can be exposed. The structure of the tri-bar elements provides an inherent standoff from the hull, thereby increasing the armor effectiveness.
