The description you mention is nothing more than a simple atempt to make the game feal like it has some (or some more) ingame lore and should be taken with a pinch of salt as it where.

That said, heres a simple(ish) description of what they do. The Nanite Mesh Generator and the Adrenaline Shield both stop all damage from hitting you but only while their active and the energy drains faster the more damage you take, good for when you know your about to get shot in the face by a tank,, but not long turm fights. Also the Adrenaline Shield can increase its energy by getting kills so good for a high skill player, not so much the rest of us lol. The Resist Shield on the other hand has a much longer duration and drains at a set rate, the trade off is it doesn't stop all damage (about 40% of it I think, but don't quote me on that) and as such is much better for drawn out fights and/or people that know how to make use of cover. Ether way hope this helps.
