ACTIVE INTERROGATION - The scanning of an object with a beam of neutrons or gamma rays to generate a measurable emission that allows identification of the material in the object.
ACTIVE OPTICS - Optical elements such as mirror surfaces whose shape is actively and continuously deformed by various electromechanical means for the purpose of correcting or controlling the performance of an optical system.
Armor materials include metals and related composites (e.g., titanium diboride), ceramics and related composites (e.g., crystal whiskers in a bonded matrix), organic fibers and composites (e.g., arrays of woven cloth), and layered combinations of these.

 MMORPG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many MUDs are still active to this day, and a number of influential MMORPG designers, such as Raph Koster, Brad McQuaid, Mark Jacobs, Brian "Psychochild" Green and Damion Schubert, began as MUD developers and/or players.
The WorldForge project has been active since 1998 and formed a community of independent developers who are working on creating framework for a number of open-source MMORPGs.
Player-created content in these games would be in the form of areas to explore, missions to carry out and specific weapons and armor to use (see one planned expansion here: [2]).

I really like the Active Armor case because it isn't the same old run of the mill PDA case.

 Halfbakery: airbag active armor
I have the idea to try using a very fast inflating airbag, coupled with a hard armor plate and a milimeter wave radar to attempt to stop shaped-charge equipped rockets before they can hit a tank.
The idea is like the slat armor that the military has added onto the (already overweight) stryker vehicle, to give it superior RPG protection.
To make this work, the armor must be about half a meter away from the vehicle body.

 Active Armor iPAQ 2200 Series Case Review Comments - The Gadgeteer Bulletin Board
I've had a blue Active Armor case for my 2210 for about a month.
I really wish they'd add a rubber bottom that is removeable or something to facilitate hooking up to a Cell phone, syncing and charging.
I rarely use my 2215 without it hooked up to something else one way or another, and that is what stopped me from considering this case after being initially wowed by it.

 Active Armor iPAQ 2200 Series Reviews - PDARanking.com
Home • Reviews • Pocket PC Accessories • Active Armor iPAQ 2200 Series
The Active Armor case is sold as a case "that guards against drops with a rugged flexible case body and an unbreakable, clear flip lid".
Whereas most cases probably appeal to our sense of style and convenience (belt clips, storage slots for our memory cards), Blue Ideas Inc's Active Armor focuses on protection and on being able to use the iPAQ while it is in its case.
