2. Kevlar - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevlar

   Kevlar (para-aramid) [2] is a strong, heat-resistant synthetic fiber, related to other aramids such as Nomex and Technora. Developed by Stephanie Kwolek at DuPont in 1965, [ 3 ] [ 2 ] [ 4 ] the high-strength material was first used commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tires.

3. Interceptor multi-threat body armor system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interceptor_Multi-Threat...

   The IBA system consists of an Outer Tactical Vest (OTV) and two Small Arms Protective Insert (SAPI) ballistic plates. The OTV features a carrier shell, and three main (flexible) ballistic panel inserts (front left and front right panels, and a rear back panel), [4] which are made with a finely woven Kevlar KM2 fiber.

   Liquid armour is a material under research by defense institutions and universities around the world including the United States Army Research Laboratory (ARL). [1] [2] [3] Some of the earliest research in this area was performed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology [4] and University of Delaware [5] in 2003.

5. Constant-velocity joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant-velocity_joint

   A Rzeppa-type CV joint. A constant-velocity joint (also called a CV joint and homokinetic joint) is a mechanical coupling which allows the shafts to rotate freely (without an appreciable increase in friction or backlash) and compensates for the angle between the two shafts, within a certain range, to maintain the same velocity.

6. Improved Outer Tactical Vest - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improved_Outer_Tactical_Vest

   The soft kevlar panels have been tested to stop 9 mm 124 grain full metal jacket bullets at 1,400 ft/s (426 m/s) with minimal deformation and has a V-50 of roughly 1,525 ft/s (465 m/s). This means that the bullet has to be traveling faster than 1,525 ft/s (465 m/s) for it to have more than a 50% chance of breaking through the soft armor panel.

7. Second Chance (body armor) - Wikipedia
