The first cross-sectional area is less than the second cross-sectional area.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to advancing food safety with a food shelf-life extending emulsification matrix, a method for making such oil-in-water emulsification matrix by high shear homogenization with added acid, dairy products, egg-whites, starches, gums and preservatives. The emulsification matrix thus created can be used as substitute for mayonnaise, or sauces, dips, dressings, and applied as a food shelf-life extender to food suitable for coating by an emulsion mixture. Preferably the coating is prepared and applied under an inert gas blanket, from a class of edible, inert gases, including nitrogen or argon. This food shelf-life extending emulsification matrix can be applied to any form of prepared protein including meats, fish/seafood, poultry, eggs, as well as fruits, vegetables, or home-meal-replacement (HMR) applications and other ready-to-eat (RTE) chilled prepared food products; including those stored in a refrigerated; or alternatively, frozen environment subsequently slacked-out/thawed.

Abstract: A protection system includes a net made of flexible, low breaking strength intersecting lines connected at nodes. A frame supports the net and spaces the net from a vehicle and/or structure. Hard points are disposed at least at select net nodes and feature a multi-sided body with a cavity therein behind a front face thereof. The body includes a lip extending into the cavity. A protrusion extends outwardly from the front face. A tapered plug is received in the cavity and includes a ledge engaged by the lip locking the plug and a net node in the cavity and securing the hard point to the net node in a pivotable fashion.

Abstract: A method of designing an RPG. A computerized model is created of a shield mesh opening with lines of a net intersecting at nodes and with hard points positioned at least at select nodes. The effectiveness of the mesh opening at a plurality of obliquity angles is determined. In the model, a change is made to the size of the mesh opening and the effectiveness is determined again at a plurality of different obliquity angles. Iterations of this process allow an optimal mesh opening size to be determined for a threat such as an RPG.
