A modular silencer includes an outer tube and a plurality of chamber separators suspended through a tensile force within a bore of the outer tube and defining chambers between each pair of chamber separators in the silencer. An outer edge of the chamber separators is spaced apart from an inner surface of the tube to allow gas equalization between the chambers. A plurality of tube portions separate the chamber separators from each other and from the proximal and distal ends of the silencer assembly. The tube portions define a continuous center tube suspended in tension within the outer tube and through which the projectile travels. The tube portions have can have angled openings through which gas discharge exits into the chambers. Rotatable sleeves can be disposed over the tube portions to further disrupt gas flow and dissipate heat and sound. A carbon fiber sleeve can be disposed over the outer tube to inhibit burn injuries from contacting the silencer.

A non-invasive method of characterizing burn injuries using near infrared spectroscopy is described. In the method, a beam of light is emitted into the burnt tissue portion at two or more different tissue depths. The spectra are then compared using multivariate analysis to determine diagnostic regions of the spectra. This information is used to categorize the burn. In some cases, the diagnostic regions correspond to wavelengths related to the hemodynamics of the tissue portion. The spectra can also be repeated over time, thereby allowing trends and changes in the spectra to be measured. This data is in turn used to categorize the burn as either a superficial burn, partial thickness burn, deep partial burn or a full thickness burn. Once the burn has been categorized, the clinician can intervene as needed to treat the burn.

Disclosed is a machining method for a rolling bearing with a ring precisely shaped by hard finishing. The machining method is characterized in that an inner ring and an outer ring of the bearing are integrally precisely shaped by hard finishing or the key surface of a ring part is precisely shaped by hard finishing; the key surface comprises raceways, raceway flanges, raceway oil grooves, seal grooves, ring flanges, grooved raceway edge chamfers and the like; precise shaping by hard finishing takes the place of grinding (such as the raceways) shaping and shaping by soft finishing (such as the sealing grooves), so that technical and quality problems of limited shape design of a raceway section, grinding badness even burn injuries and the like are solved; the technical and quality problems of low machining precision, heat treatment distortion and the like existing in shaping surfaces of the sealing grooves, the grooved raceway edge chamfers and the like by soft finishing are solved by precise hard finishing, so that the surfaces of the ring can be designed according to the operating condition and can be shaped precisely in a quite high mode, and the key surface of the ring can be controlled in shape and performance, and designing and manufacturing of the high-performance rolling bearing high in sealability and reliability and the like are of great practical engineering significance.

A lid for a beverage container is described. The lid has a basin that is designed to enhance the user's olfactory experience when drinking a beverage from the container and lid. As the user tilts the container and lid to take a drink, the beverage pours through an opening on the basin valley and flows across a sipping surface area to the user's mouth, thus allowing the beverage to aerate, evaporate, and cool. The basin is sized and dimensioned to channel and concentrate the vapor rising from the beverage towards the user's nose as the user sips the beverage. The basin and the opening are sized and dimensioned to provide a comfortable and secure feeling when drinking hot beverages. In this manner, the lid enhances the drinker's olfactory experience and provides better controllability of the flow of a hot beverage to prevent burn injuries.
