  • Multi-purpose, articulated, segmented field panel kit and fabrication process
    Patent number: 6711766
    Abstract: A plural-panel articulated (segmented) foldable/unfoldable (in a zigzag fashion) structure which can be unfolded and deployed in the form of a rectangular mat, and which can be folded to form plural other shapes, including a fully-folded shape which takes the form of a stack-cube of panels which is very compact in overall size. Each panel includes a central, anti-projectile barrier structure, and a cushioning foam structure, which offers features and advantages relating to fluid buoyancy, thermal insulation, and cushioning.
    Type: Grant

  • Multi-layer, personnel-protective helmet shell with spray-fabricated inner and outer structural layers
    Patent number: 6671889
    Abstract: A multilayer helmet shell wherein inner and outer, structural, load-bearing semi-rigid layers, each formed from an affinity-bonded agglomeration of mechanically interactive, spray-deposited particles, jacket a viscoelastic, acceleration-rate-sensitive, microcellular foam core layer. The mechanical interfaces between the inner and outer jacketing, and the intermediate core, materials take the form of regions of inter-material suffusement.

  • Cushioning shoe insole
    Publication number: 20020144432
    Abstract: A shoe insole structure which includes a non-springy, acceleration-rate-sensitive viscoelastic cushioning layer carrying, on its upper surface, a low-friction, abrasion-resistant, load-distributing, moisture-wicking overlayer.

  • Cushioning shoe insole with plural, differentiated surface-tension cushioning
    Publication number: 20020144433
    Abstract: A shoe insole structure which includes a singular (or plural) acceleration-rate-sensitive, differentiated-softness, bonded viscoelastic cushioning layer(s), joined to the upper surface of which is a low-surface-friction, moisture-wicking fabric overlayer. The overall insole presents to a foot an effective upwardly facing support surface which has an effective surface tension which is lower than (differentiated from) that of the underside of the foot.
