Abstract: Radar radiation redirecting tapes (1, 2) include a first plurality of individual radar-reflecting directional antennae (5, 11). Each directional antenna comprises at least three elongate, unevenly spaced antenna conductors (10, 20, 30), arranged with their long extensions parallel to each other in the plane of the tape, such that the directional antenna is operable to reflect incoming radar radiation predominantly in a direction (80) which is orthogonal to the long extension of the antenna conductors and parallel to the plane of the tape.

Abstract: A method is described for repairing the surface of rotor blades or aircraft wings, comprising (a) a composite substrate; and (b) a protection layer having at least one area of at least partial damage, the method comprising (i) optionally, removing at least part of the damaged part of the protection tape; (ii) optionally, reconstructing the surface of damaged composite substrate; (iii) optionally, applying primer solution to the surface of the composite substrate; (iv) optionally, applying a polymer solution, preferably in at least one organic solvent; (v) applying a repair patch of a polymer onto at least a part of the composite surface; (vi) applying heat so that the repair patch of a polymer tape melts and covers the damaged area, thereby forming a protection layer or applying a repair solution, preferably in at least one organic solvent, so that the repair patch of a polymer tape at least partially dissolves and covers the damaged area.

Abstract: Ultra-high frequency (UHF) antenna tags are described. The antenna tag includes a sensor portion including terminals for attaching a chip and an antenna portion including first and second elements electrically connected to the sensor portion. At least one of the first and second elements includes at least one meandered portion. The sensor portion is responsive to a presence of a dielectric or magnetic material. The antenna tag is configured such that the antenna tag has an input impedance at the terminals substantially matched to a chip impedance. In some embodiments, the antenna tag has a directivity of at least 4 dBi in a predetermined direction and a radiation efficiency of at least 60 percent.
