A ballistic panel is described that comprises a ballistic-resistant component and a cover that comprises a laminate comprising a substrate layer and an inner bonding layer. The method including down converting a first RF signal to an intermediate frequency signal, converting the IF signal into a digital signal, processing the digital signal with a the digital signal processor, amplifying the digital signal into an amplified signal using the digital signal processor, and converting the amplified signal into an analog signal. The rotor of the rotating machine into which working fluid of 650\xb0 C. A fluid is conducted to the pad such that the fluid is applied is intermittently or continuously applied to at least a portion of the ultrasonic bonding surface.
