A sole construction for supporting at least a portion of a human foot and for providing energy storage and return is provided. The sole construction includes a generally horizontal layer of stretchable material, at least one chamber positioned adjacent a first side of the layer, and at least one actuator positioned adjacent a second side of the layer vertically aligned with a corresponding chamber.

The drive mechanism is attached to the tip guard and is bent or coiled within the housing between the first and second lateral extension and retained in the bent or coiled position. Upon release of the drive mechanism, the tip guard is moved from a retracted position to an extended position, thereby protectively surrounding a tip of the needle cannula.

An all-fiber Q-switched laser includes a gain fiber spliced between narrowband and broadband fiber gratings that define a polarization-dependent resonant cavity. The narrowband grating is, for example, formed in a PM fiber to create a polarization-dependent reflection band. A modulator applies stress to the fiber chain to induce birefringence and switch the cavity Q-factor to alternately store energy in the gain fiber and then release the energy in a laser pulse.

A draw extending archery system enables a user to draw a draw string multiple times to store energy. Embodiments of the system include a transmission that operatively engages the draw string and a flexible limb. From an initial rest position, the user initiates a charging stroke on the draw string. During a first charging stroke, the transmission engages to store energy during the draw. At the end of the charging stroke, the transmission engages to prevent release of stored energy. The transmission also disengages the draw string to enable a subsequent charging stroke from an intermediate rest position. From a final rest position, the user initiates a firing stroke on the draw string. At the end of the firing stroke, the transmission couples the draw string and the flexible limb to release stored energy through the draw string.

Three processes for the manufacture of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) which utilize the action of bases that are capable of either attacking silicon or any compound that can react with a protic solvent (e.g. ROH, H₂O etc.) and generate hydroxide [OH]⁻, alkoxide [RO]⁻, etc. The first process utilizes such bases to effectively redistribute the silicon-oxygen frameworks in polymeric silsesquioxanes [RSiO_1.5]_∞ where ∞=1−1,000,000 or higher into POSS nanostructures of formulas [(RSiO_1.5)_n]_Σ#, homoleptic, [(RXSiO_1.5)_n]_Σ#, functionalized homoleptic, [(RSiO_1.5)_m(R′SiO_1.5)_n]_Σ#, heteroleptic, and {(RSiO_1.5)_m(RXSiO_1.0)_n}_Σ#, functionalized heteroleptic nanostructures. The second process utilizes base to aid in the formation of POSS nanostructures of formulas [(RSiO_1.5)_n]_Σ# homoleptic and [(RSiO_1.5)_m(R′SiO_1.5)_n]_Σ# heteroleptic and [(RSiO_1.5)_m(RXSiO_1.0)_n]_Σ# functionalized heteroleptic nanostructures from silanes RSiX₃ and linear or cyclic silsesquioxanes of the formula RX₂Si—(OSiRX)_m—OSiRX₂ where m=0-10, X═OH, Cl, Br, I, alkoxide OR, acetate OOCR, peroxide OOR, amine NR₂, isocyanate NCO, and R. The third process utilizes base to selectively ring-open the silicon-oxygen-silicon (Si—O—Si) bonds in POSS structures to form POSS species with incompletely condensed nanostructures. These processes also afford stereochemical control over X. The three processes result in new POSS species that can undergo additional chemical manipulations to ultimately be converted into POSS-species suitable for polymerization, grafting, or other desirable chemical reactions.

The method of protection of human (livestock) from bites of blood-sucking insects which based on fact, that mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects have principally infrared vision and actively attack people or animals at night, in twilight or in the shade, that is, in the conditions optimum for detecting infra-red emission of a body of the person and animals. The method consists in creating in protected zones of the thermal hindrances, which deprive blood-sucking insects of ability to define position of people (of animals). The method consists in placing in protected zone of (one or several) sources of the infra-red emission; diagrams of emission and a places of placing of infra-red sources must be organized so that this emission would to hit in eyes of insects (thermal sensors of insects) in the majority of possible points of supervision by them of people (of animals); power of emission must to exceed power output of infra-red emission of vulnerable parts of a body of the person (of animals); infra-red sources can operate constantly, periodically or not periodically, including when operating time and the period of repetition vary by law of random numbers.

This invention relates to the field of lasers and in particular to the pump sources used in lasers. Many existing lasers use linear flashlamps in order to create population inversion in the gain medium of the laser. Such pump sources suffer from a number of drawbacks particularly when pumping dye lasers including explosive damage, long optical pulse length and inappropriate spectral emission. This invention provides a pump source for a laser which exploits the surface discharge phenomenon. A dielectric material (1) which is in contract with a gas (9) has electrical energy discharged across its surface in order to provide an electromagnetic emission which is then used to pump the gain medium. By varying the dielectric material or the cover gas used (amongst other variables) the surface emission can be used to pump the laser gain medium.
