An improved composite for absorbing and dispersing impacting forces is disclosed. The composite includes a flexible plastic enclosure defining an internal cavity. The flexible enclosure is generally impermeable to air and capable of having its internal pressure changed. The composite further includes a foam core filling the cavity and retained within the cavity and adhered on substantially all of its external surface to the internal surface of the cavity. The cavity can be pressurized for higher impact absorbance. Methods for fabricating the composites are disclosed, as well.

Impact absorbing composites and their production

An improved impact absorbing composite comprising protective gear including a shell and a protective layer and a fitting pad comprising a substantially air-tight foam-filled enclosure attached to the protective gear and providing means for adjusting the internal pressure of the enclosure.

Air fit protective system

An improved impact absorbing pad comprising a foam core attached to and enclosed within a generally air impermeable covering, having at least one selected air permeable region, and wherein at least a portion of the covering enclosing one side of the core is comprised of stretch fabric.

Impact absorbing pad

An improved street sport impact absorbing shield including ball bearings positioned along the outer surface of the shield for providing a rolling impact surface upon a fall to translate a tangential moment of impact. The recesses include sockets or channels for retaining the ball bearings along the outer surface and allowing rotary motion in every direction upon impact.

Serum levels of cholesterol are improved by administration of yeast cell wall extract LCP-100 Series.TM. product LR323.TM. in combination with a cholesterol regulating agent, preferably niacin or gemfibrozil.

Method and composition for treating hyperlipidemia

An improved composite for absorbing and dispersing impacting forces is disclosed. The composite includes a flexible plastic enclosure defining an internal cavity. The flexible enclosure is generally impermeable to air and capable of having its internal pressure changed. The composite further includes a foam core filling the cavity and retained within the cavity and adhered on substantially all of its external surface to the internal surface of the cavity. The cavity can be pressurized for higher impact absorbance. Methods for fabricating the composites are disclosed, as well. These methods include forming the outer enclosure by applying a solution/suspension of the prepolymer of controlled solids content to the core and also can include the step of preheating the core prior to coating it.
