...radio transmitters fitted into dummy teeth. Crammed inside each electronic tooth are a transistor, an induction coil, two capacitors, a resistor and a hearing-aid battery- all miniaturized items developed by the Air Force. Once the radio denture is in place, the subject enters a Faraday cage, a metal-mesh enclosure that blocks out most outside electrical disturbances. As the subject chews and drinks in his static-free environment, his tooth transmitter gives out a signal every time two spots of gold on the chewing surfaces of two opposing teeth come together. In addition, a muscle-tension detector attached...
After the landings, four days of maneuvers were scheduled in the mock war. While U.S. officers were interested in seeing how troops of the two nations would mesh in such a situation, the main point had already been made. It could hardly be missed either by the Soviet military strategists to the north or by Red Chinese forces threatening nearby India to the east: the U.S. is equipped to put a lot of troops anywhere, anytime-and fast...
...Canadienne. The Van Doos have been on a U.N. alert for the past three years as a "fire-brigade force ready to go anywhere," have been trained in such niceties as mob control, guerrilla operations and peace-patrol techniques, and carry such special equipment as wooden batons and steel mesh shields as protection against stone-throwing demonstrators...
...John R. Lewis Jr. reported good results and a minimum of side effects with a combination kit introduced last year by Dr. Thomas D. Cronin of Houston. It consists of a Silastic (silicone plastic) bag filled with Silastic gel and attached to a backing of Dacron mesh. The viscous gel has more nearly the consistency of natural breast tissue than previous synthetics...
...create a pocket between the breast and the muscle of the chest wall to which it is normally attached. The uplift device is inserted in the pocket, with its Dacron backing placed against the muscle. Thus the tissues of the breast itself do not come into contact with any mesh or sponge material into which they could grow-only with the impermeable surface of the Silastic bag. A further advantage is that the soft tissue of the natural breast is outward; it feels normal to the patient and facilitates a doctor's examination for cysts or tumors...
