Interlayers for use with laminates and laminates are provided that may be used in a variety of different applications, such as windows for vehicles and buildings, impact resistance devices, such as bulletproof glass and others, decorative films for windows, walls or doors, window tinting, colored or mirrored glass, window films and the like. An interlayer comprises an adhesive film having a monolithic structure comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The film comprises one or more functional elements disposed within its monolithic structure and has a thickness of at least about 0.015 inches. The interlayer is a single TPU layer that includes both adhesive and functional properties, which allows the interlayer to be attached to one or more outer transparent layers in a laminate assembly that is particularly useful in, for example, applications requiring solar control functionality, such as windows that absorb or reflect heat, IR and / or UV light and the like.

This invention relates to a vehicle protection method and system and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a vehicle protection method and system for both vehicle occupant and vehicle protection. In accordance with this invention there is provided a vehicle protection system comprising a protective panel (2a - 2i) made of bullet resistant material having, a rear surface shaped complementary to an outer surface of a body panel of a motor vehicle and having, releasable attachment means (5) to releasably attach the protective panel to the vehicle.

A reinforced portal provides enhanced protection against ballistic impacts and explosions for safe rooms, bomb shelters, and security applications. The portal includes an external structure formed from two plates and four panels that enclose an internal space. At least one container filled with liquid is positioned within the internal space to absorb impact energy. The modular external structure comprises a first plate functioning as a front side, a second plate as a back side, and four panels serving as side jambs, threshold, and head jamb. Multiple containers can be arranged in layers to minimize liquid loss when punctured. The liquid pressure inside containers exceeds ambient pressure to enhance structural integrity. An assembly method involves providing liquid-filled containers and separate structural components, positioning the containers within the framework, and attaching the components together. This modular approach enables easier transportation and installation compared to conventional reinforced portals while maintaining superior protective performance.

A wearable energy absorbing and dispersing standoff spacer, system, and method for use or incorporation with an armor plate or panel, and / or a carrier for the same, uses one or more spacer panels having features that interlock to form a stack having a desired standoff thickness and resilient compressibility for absorbing and dispersing forces exerted thereagainst from ballistic impacts to reduce traumatic effect on a wearer while limiting lateral displacement of the spacer particularly under lateral forces, and that is readily and easily adaptable to provide customizable support, positioning, and orientation for the armor plate or panel, and fit and comfort for the wearer, particularly female wearers.

The application relates to the technical field of advanced ceramic materials, in particular to a Si3N4 ceramic material and a preparation method and application thereof, the preparation method comprising the following steps: mixing alpha-Si3N4 powder and a composite sintering aid, adding a dispersion medium, and wet ball milling; drying and sieving the slurry after ball milling to obtain mixed powder; and hot-pressing and sintering the mixed powder, so that the Si3N4 ceramic material is obtained. Through the cooperation of the composite sintering aid and a specific rapid hot-pressing process, high-precision and repeated regulation and control of the alpha / beta phase ratio are realized. The ceramic prepared by the application has high density (> 93%), and due to the optimization of the grain boundary phase by the multi-element aid, the high-temperature performance and the oxidation resistance are simultaneously improved, so that the material performance is improved through self-structure design under the premise of not introducing a heterogeneous phase.

A blast-resistant retrofit window insulation system has panes of low-e coated polymer film, such as TPU or ETFE, held in a rigid frame to form a pane assembly. One or more pane assemblies are stacked to make a multilayer unit, or are mounted in a robust polymer casing, that is sized to fit the window frames of an existing building window or to attach to the wall of the building surrounding the window. The polymer film(s) can absorb energy of a blast without breaking provided that the collective thickness of the film(s) is at least 20 mil, and preferably 24 mil or more. The polymer film pane assemblies, when securely bolted to the structural components of the building around the window, have a remarkable ability to absorb blast energy and mitigate secondary debris hazards.

This structure for receiving and securing glazing, particularly for windshields of motor vehicles, and more specifically heavy goods vehicles, is attached to the body of the vehicle's cab. It consists of a peripheral frame attached to the vehicle body. The frame defines a plurality of planes intersecting in pairs, each of said planes receiving a single or multi-layered glazing unit (5, 6). The glazing units (5, 6) are held at the points where the intersecting planes diverge or intersect by means of, on the one hand, a plate (8), also fixed to the upper and lower edges of the frame, and on the other hand, by lateral supports defined by the frame. (See Figure 3 for abbreviations.)

A ballistic wall assembly can protects personnel from ballistic projectiles. The assembly may include an outer ballistic panel and an inner ballistic panel spaced apart to define an air gap therebetween. Springs positioned between the panels can allow the outer panel to move toward the inner panel upon projectile impact, absorbing kinetic energy. The air gap can trap bullets that pass through the outer panel and are stopped by the inner panel, preventing dangerous ricochets. A frame with a slip joint can allow outer panel movement while a crimped edge provides retention and security for the outer panel. The assembly may include a suspension system with rollers and overhead rail for mobility between stored and deployed positions. An optional MOLLE panel on the inner surface can supports everyday items, concealing the ballistic nature while maintaining emergency protection capability.

A composite element and a method of manufacturing the same. The composite element comprises a first skin plate and second skin plate, which are manufactured as separate pieces and are assembled in a separate phase. At least the first skin plate comprises several protrusions on an outer surface of the plate. The protrusions serve as local stiffeners and are further stiffened by means of one or more additional composite structures arranged inside the protrusions.

The invention relates to a method for producing steel components having increased resistance to the penetration of ballistic bodies, wherein a sheet steel blank is punched or cut out of a sheet steel strip, the sheet steel blank subsequently undergoes cyclic heat treatment and, after the cyclic heat treatment, the blank is heated to a temperature greater than Ac3 of the steel alloy and is then press-hardened, wherein during the cyclic heat treatment the blank is heated to above Ac3 of the steel alloy and once the target temperature has been reached over the entire cross section of the blank is cooled to a temperature between Ar1 and Bs of the steel alloy, and this is repeated again at least once. The invention also relates to a bombardment-resistant component and the use of same.
