Abstract:

An air intake noise suppression device comprises a housing defining a passage having a relatively small height, preferably no greater than one-half inch, and a length defined by the expression ##EQU1## where H is the height of the passage and f is the desired noise frequency to be suppressed. The width of the passage is selected to be large enough to provide an adequate supply of intake air to the engine. With the passage essentially defining a relatively narrow slot, it is filled with acoustic boundary layers that accentuate noise significantly over a relatively wide frequency range.

Abstract:

An expandable jacket that both (1) can protect a bag or knapsack worn by a user as well as the user and (2) can simulate a conventional jacket when the user is not wearing a knapsack, comprises a conventional racket and extra material affixed to the conventional jacket. Preferably, the extra material is unnecessary to the jacket's ability to be worn as a conventional jacket protecting a user from the elements, but is used to aid in allowing the expandable jacket to protect the user from the elements as well as a knapsack worn by the user. Preferably, the extra material is affixed to the rear of the jacket so that it can protect the knapsack worn by the user is worn on the user's back. When in an open mode, the extra material allows the rear of the jacket to expand to provide additional volume to the interior of the expandable jacket. When in a closed mode, the expandable jacket can be worn as a conventional jacket by the user.
