A collapsible containment apparatus () with a first hub (), a second hub (), a plurality of articulated arms () coupled to the first hub (), a plurality of support arms () coupled to both the second hub () and the articulated arms (), and a flexible canopy () carried by the articulated arms (). The apparatus () is collapsed by relative movement of the two hubs () away from one another, and deployed by relative movement of the hubs () toward one another. When the apparatus () is deployed the canopy () creates a closed interior environment, which may be sterile.

Deployable compact surgical and biological apparatus and methods of use

Buoyant armor for jacketed rounds includes an outer, laminate reinforced strike face having a hardness greater than 640 Brinell. The strike face is configured to strip the jacket off a projectile as it passes through the strike face and to rotate the projectile. An inner, laminate reinforced strike face is separated from the outer, laminate reinforced strike face by a spacer layer. Foam greater than 40 mm thick is disposed behind the inner strike face and is configured to disperse a round and/or its fragments and to provide buoyancy to the armor.

Amphibious armor

A spall liner including a first plurality of flexible fabric plies of a first dimension secured together and secured to a first tie layer of a second, larger dimension. At least a second plurality of flexible fabric plies are secured together and secured to a second tie layer. The first and second tie layers are secured together. A cover includes separable fastener structure of a first type for removeably securing the liner to the inside hull of a vehicle equipped with separable fastener structure of a second type.

Spall liner

An armor system and method for the interior of a structure to be protected wherein releasable fastener material is secured to an inside wall of the structure and at least a first armor panel includes, in one example, a spacer layer, a ceramic hard face layer behind the spacer layer, a ballistic material behind the ceramic energy absorber layer, an encapsulant about the spacer layer, the ceramic energy absorber layer, and the ballistic material. Releasable fastener material is on the encapsulant adjacent the spacer layer for mating the panel to the inside wall of the structure.

Armor system

An inflatable sport ball, such as a basketball, a football, a soccer ball, a volley ball or a playground ball, is provided with a self-contained inflation mechanism for inflating or more likely adding pressure to the ball. The mechanism is a pump which is inside of the ball and which is operable from outside of the ball to pump ambient air into the ball.

Self-contained sport ball inflation mechanism

Method of manufacturing a sport ball having a self-contained inflation mechanism

An inflatable sport ball, such as a basketball, a football, a soccer ball, a volley ball or a playground ball, is provided with a self-contained inflation mechanism for inflating or more likely adding pressure to the ball. The mechanism is a self-contained, manually operable pumping chamber which is inside of the ball and which is operable from outside of the ball to compress the chamber and. pump ambient air into the ball.

Self contained sport ball inflation mechanism

An inflatable sport ball, such as a basketball, a football, a soccer ball, a volley ball or a playground ball, is provided with self-contained inflation means for inflating or more likely adding pressure to the ball. The inflation means is a vessel inside of the ball containing a high pressure gas which may be bled form the vessel into the interior of the ball surrounding the vessel such as by valve means operable from the outside of the ball.

An applique armor system includes a plurality of armor tiles, each armor tile being a composite armor member with a sheet ceramic armor component, an impedance match enhancing sheet member of material such of metal or polymer material adhered to the surface of the ceramic sheet member remote from the anticipated direction of attack, and a compliant separable fastener component of extended area type secured to a surface of the composite armor tile, the ceramic sheet member preferably having a thickness at least ten times the thickness of the impedance match enhancing sheet member.

Survivability enhancement

A tube joint for annular corrugated tubing includes a body having a sleeve for receiving the end of an annular corrugated tube; at least one circumferential raised lobe on the sleeve for engaging an annular corrugation of the tube; and a collar for engaging the body and including a swaging section having a first camming surface for compressing the lobe radially inwardly to engage a corrugation of the tube.

A flexible lance and drive system (10) extends through manhole (12) into blow down lane (14) of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) steam generator secondary side assembly (16). The system (10) includes a support rail (18) passing through the manhole (12) and along the blow down lane (14). A transporter (20) is suspended for locomotion along the support rail (18). A flexible lance (24) extends through the transporter (20) and can be driven by the transporter into tube bundle (26) to a greater or lesser extent as required to observe and/or clean sludge deposits (28) within the tube bundle (26). High pressure hoses (34), nitrogen purge line (36) and Fiber optics cable (32) is supported by a spacerless hosebar structure (38). The hosebar structure (38) is integrally formed from a flexible plastic material in a single piece.
