I think I invented that back in the mid 90's for a Cyberpunk game...
I recall it had an SP(armour) value against acid rain, and could be loaded with map chips to show location (Pre-GPS write up)...
And my character had a titanium core version for a Martial Arts bo staff...
Alls fair, I would of course have to give Ridley Scott a cut as it was the Neon Tube umbrella's from Bladerunner that inspired it.
the lesson to be learned is that whenever you have a good idea, you should look into protecting your copyright.
Now if anyone wants me, I am looking into the Cryogenic case with blood pump that was used in a plot to keep severed heads alive (that was a NASTY bad guy...)
