Abstract: A heat shielding sleeve defining a limb placement zone and including an installed position encapsulating a user's limb and an uninstalled position removed from a user's limb. The heat shielding sleeve further comprises an elastic or semi-elastic outer layer operably configured to enclose a user's leg and a secondary layer defined by a plurality of raised members wherein the secondary layer and the plurality of raised members are comprised of a thermally insulating material. The secondary layer further defines a plurality of exhaust apertures designed to provide thermal venting of the user's skin. The heat shielding sleeve is designed to protect motorcycle riders' and passengers' lower limbs from burns caused when riders and passengers come into physical contact with a motorcycle's exhaust pipes or the gas emissions emanating therefrom, while providing a comfortable and breathable garment sleeve that may be operably adjusted to the comfort of the user.

Abstract: The present application is directed to a method of producing a multilayer circuit. The method comprises providing a first electrically insulating layer comprising apertures through the layer and bonding the first electrically insulating layer with a first conductive layer. The first conductive layer is bonded to the first electrically insulating layer in register to the apertures in the electrically insulating layer and the multilayer circuit is produced at a sustained rate. In another embodiment, the method comprises providing a second electrically insulating layer and bonding the second electrically insulating layer with the first conductive layer opposite the first electrically insulating layer.

Abstract: A description is given of an optical structure (100), in particular for determining and stabilizing the relative phase of short pulses, which contains a broadening device (6) for broadening the frequency spectrum of pulses of electromagnetic radiation, and a frequency multiplier device (8) for multiplying at least one frequency component of the pulses, wherein a focusing lens optic (7) is arranged between the broadening device and the frequency multiplier device, which focusing lens optic can be used to focus the pulses into the frequency multiplier device (8). Uses of this optical structure are also described.
