MIPS is a form of slip plane technology, meaning that a MIPS helmet is constructed from two layers that rotate against each other, mimicking the rotation of the brain s own cerebrospinal fluid, which is the body s natural defense against oblique impacts.

The reason for this asymmetry is unclear; possibly Beethoven is the result of an oblique impact that produced an asymmetric ejecta distribution ( Gault and Wedekind, 1978 ), or possibly basin radial texture in the western rim area has been obliterated by ejecta from Valmiki.

That an oblique impact, as an elliptical structure would indicate, would lessen, not increase, the pressures to which rim strata would be subjected makes the estimated formation pressures for the shocked quartz found in the rim of the Bloody Creek structure even more anomalously high.

In 1908 she was converted for use as a target ship, being fitted with fully backed and supported modern armour plates; the intention was to test and measure the effect on these plates of oblique impact by armour-piercing shells filled with lyddite, the most potent explosive of the period.

The biggest of these three also appears to be the youngest and protrude from the lowest point of the volcanic caldera and ends at the interesting crater Rahe ( an oblique impact crater with measures of 35 ?18 km ), just north from the volcano where it formed a depositional fan.

A perpendicular impact against a flat steel anvil at 5 m / s ( 11 mph ) may be of approximate severity to an oblique impact against a concrete surface at 30 m / s ( 67 mph ) or a perpendicular impact against a sheet metal car door or windscreen at 30 m / s.

They fired a shell weighing 714 pounds ( 324 kg ) with a muzzle velocity of 1, 910 ft / second ( 582 m / second ), and could penetrate 10 inches ( 254 mm ) of armour if the shell struck at or near a ninety-degree angle; much less, however, in the much more likely event of an oblique impact.

The unusual rectilinear map pattern of the ejecta suggests : ( 1 ) control of the ejecta pattern by prebasin structures, ( 2 ) preferential burial along structural trends of an originally symmetrical ejecta blanket by the intercrater plains material, or ( 3 ) formation of Tolstoj by an oblique impact from the northwest that produced an ejecta blanket with bilateral symmetry and little or no deposition uprange.
