A blanket providing a plurality of pockets in which to contain fire suppression compound. A blanket can be wrapped around a container of flammable liquid to resist fire resulting from a ballistic attack. Fire suppression compound carried in a pocket may be provided as a plurality of sub-portions individually disposed in a respective pouch. End caps may also be included to further surround a container with fire suppression compound.

Passive fire protection system

Protective laminate films protect an underlying windshield from damage due to impacting rocks and other debris. The protective laminate films generally include a flexible polymer substrate having a scratch resistant coating and an adhesive layer on opposing surfaces thereof. Each layer is transparent such that, when applied to a windshield, the laminate film does not inhibit visibility. Each layer may also be flexible so that the laminate films can be molded to a curved windshield. Generally, the scratch resistant coating protects the laminate films from scratching or other damage from impacting debris and/or from windshield wipers. The substrate provides structural integrity to the laminate films and may provide some degree of impact dispersion. The adhesive layer, in addition to adhering the laminate films to the windshield, may also provide significant impact resistance that helps protect the windshield from cracks or chips due to impacting rocks or other debris.

A climate control system according to implementations of the invention includes one or more vacuum chambers. The vacuum chamber is encompassed by a chamber wall that is substantially impervious to gases. The vacuum chamber houses one of several combinations. In one combination, the near vacuum has yet to be created, and the vacuum chamber houses substantially-pure carbon dioxide and un-reacted carbon dioxide reducing agent. In a second combination, the near vacuum has been created, and the vacuum chamber houses reaction products of a chemical reaction between substantially-pure carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide reducing agent in a near vacuum. Various methods are used for creating vacuum chambers and for generating near vacuum conditions within such chambers. Various systems and structures can utilize such vacuum chambers and panels containing such chambers.

Protective laminate films protect an underlying windshield from damage due to impacting rocks or other debris. The laminate films generally include a substrate having a scratch resistant coating adhered to one side and an adhesive layer adhered to an opposite side. Adhesion promoter and primer layers may be provided to enhance adhesion of the scratch-resistant coating to the substrate. Each layer is transparent such that, when applied to a windshield, the laminate film does not impact a driver's visibility. Each layer may also be flexible so that the laminate films can be molded to a curved windshield. Generally, the scratch resistant coating protects the laminate films from scratching or other damage from impacting debris or from windshield wipers. The substrate provides structural integrity to the laminate films and may provide some impact dispersion. The adhesive layer, in addition to adhering the laminate films to the windshield, may also provide significant impact resistance that protects the windshield from cracks or chips due to impacting rocks or other debris.

Protective laminates for windshields

A method for detecting extent of cross-linking of a high impedance polymer material during a pre-cure state, the method including: placing an insulated ground plane adjacent to the polymer material and substantially parallel to a sensor; applying a test signal through a sensor to the material and through a reference resistance; determining a voltage difference between the test signal applied to the material and the reference resistance as the reference voltage; and correlating the voltage difference as a relative indicator of the extent of cross-linking which has occurred within the polymer material. Also disclosed is a device for implementing the subject method.

A method for incrementally mold-forming sections of a fiber reinforced, thermoplastic material into a composite product which has a mold product configuration of non-uniform cross section and/or non-linear configuration. Large laminates are formed by utilizing small to medium sized molds to successively mold incremental sections of the total product. Each section of the laminate is first heated to a flowable condition and is then compressed within the mold cavity to form the desired incremental shape. This process is completed until all parts of the product have been formed utilizing variations in mold components to change geometries within the total part.
