摘要:
Methods and apparatus for providing ballistic protection and stopping high-velocity rounds or explosives. The apparatus may include a ballistic panel for providing ballistic protection. The ballistic panel includes a core that includes a plurality of node cells, an intermediate layer that surrounds the core and fills in the node cells, and an outer coating. The ballistic panel absorbs the force of high-velocity, ballistic, low-velocity, and high foot pound pressure rounds, fragments, and impacts and is capable of completely capturing such ballistic rounds and fragments without external deflection or complete penetration through ballistic panel.

A ballistic visor that may act as a sun visor or be installed on an existing sub visor and that provides protection against ballistic rounds is described. The ballistic visor includes a plurality of panels. Each panel is substantially the size of a vehicle windshield sun visor and includes an outer layer of ballistic fabric that permits ballistic rounds to penetrate the ballistic visor and prevents ballistic rounds or ballistic round fragments from exiting the ballistic visor and an inner core of semi-rigid or rigid material surrounded by the outer layer of ballistic fabric and capable of stopping ballistic rounds. The ballistic panel further includes a connection between two of the plurality of panels that enables the ballistic visor to be expanded so that one of the two connected panels hangs below the other of the two connected panels. The connected ends of the two connected panels overlap.

A quick release extrusion bracket with a lock is provided. The quick release extrusion bracket secures a chair, stool, seat, etc. with a base plate at the end of a supporting post, leg, etc. to a floor. The quick release extrusion bracket enables the quick and easy release of the base plate from the bracket, thereby facilitating the simple and quick removal of the chair, stool, seat, etc. The lock enables the base plate to be locked to the bracket so that it may not be removed by a patron or other person without an appropriate tool or key.

An apparatus for dealing cards at a casino gaming table. The apparatus, or dealer shoe, has a base and a card roller. The base holds a deck or decks of cards while in use. The card roller is movably connected to the base and applies a downward pressure on the cards in the base so that they may be removed from the base. The card roller is moved into a resting place within the base when cards are removed to be shuffled, facilitating removal and insertion of the cards. By resting in the base, the card roller is protected from damage.

Embodiments of an apparatus and method provide protection against ballistic threats using stitches. Embodiments include multiple layers of fabric each including an inner core made of substantially rigid material and outer surfaces. The multiple layers of fabric are hot-pressed together to form a ballistic panel. Embodiments further include a plurality of stitches that provides an additional mechanical bond to hold the multiple layers of fabric together to improve the level of protection against ballistic threats. The ballistic panel may be cut to a size appropriate for different applications, e.g., ballistic visor for vehicle use or a briefcase insert or backpack for personal use.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for optimizing melting of titanium for processing into ingots or end products. The apparatus provides a main hearth, a plurality of optional refining hearths, and a plurality of casting molds or direct molds whereby direct arc electrodes melt the titanium in the main hearth while plasma torches melt the titanium in the refining chambers and/or adjacent the molds. Each of the direct arc electrodes and plasma torches is extendable and retractable into the melting environment and moveable in a circular pivoting or side to side linear motion.

A chair with one or more easily removable pieces and a method for disassembling the same. The chair preferably includes a seat section, a back section, and a concealed back-releasing mechanism. The back-releasing mechanism includes a connecting bracket, attached to the seat section, wherein the connecting bracket includes a protruding portion, and a receiving bracket concealed in the back section and that includes a recessed portion that receives the protruding portion of the connecting bracket. The chair may also include a seat section, a back section connected to the seat section, a cushion, and a concealed cushion-releasing mechanism. The cushion-releasing mechanism preferably comprises at least one slot in the seat section, wherein the slot is defined by the seat section and extends through the seat section and at least one tongue, wherein the tongue protrudes from the cushion and extends through the slot.
