Abstract: A protective mask system and a method of manufacturing a foam/fabric mask face shield having a three-dimensional geometry. The mask system has a lens frame and a compression-molded composite sheet, which is formed by multiple layers. The method includes the steps of forming a composite sheet from two or more layers, heating the composite sheet, and compression molding the composite sheet into the three-dimensional geometry of the face shield. The composite sheet can be formed by the lamination of two or more layers.

Abstract: A hamper assembly has a plurality of separate sections, and a plurality of supports. Each section has a first side and a second side, and a connector provided on each side of each section. In addition, each support removably couples the connector on the first side of one section and the connector on the second side of an adjacent section.

Abstract: A reactance buffer maintains a substantially constant reasonant frequency for an adjustable size loop antenna having first and second antenna segments. Each segment has first and second ends, the first ends being coupled to a receiver, and the second ends providing loop size adjustment. The reactance buffer comprises a reactance buffer input coupled to the second end of the first antenna segment. A plurality of taps are linearly disposed along a longitudinal axis of the first wristband section, and has a predetermined length between the outermost taps corresponding to the loop antenna size adjustment required. The taps provide selectable reactance buffer outputs for coupling to the second end of the second antenna segment. A plurality of reactance elements are arranged non-serially and couple the reactance buffer input to each of the plurality of taps and provide a substantially constant reactance measured between the reactance buffer input and each of the plurality of taps.

Abstract: The antenna system of the present invention includes a single loop antenna connected in series with a ferrite core loop antenna. The single loop antenna is enclosed in a nonconductive housing, such as a band, which surrounds the wrist. The single loop antenna has a first end grounded and is connected in series with a first variable capacitive element for adjusting the resonant frequency of the single loop antenna. The ferrite core loop antenna is connected to a second variable capacitive element for adjusting the resonant frequency of the ferrite core loop antenna. One end of the ferrite core loop antenna is applied as an input to a communication receiver such as a paging receiver. The outstanding feature of the antenna system is that the axis of the single loop antenna is perpendicular to and noncoplanar with the ferrite core loop axis for enhancing the sensitivity and minimizing body effects caused by hand movements.
