Abstract: Described is an interconnection system, in particular for flaps which are located side-by-side, on an aircraft wing, for example landing flaps or high-lift flaps. The interconnection system is in particular characterised in that it comprises a correspondingly guided compensating profile for a gap between the flaps, which gap changes when the flaps are moved. Preferably, the interconnection system is combined with a failsafe device for adjacent flaps in the form of a longitudinally adjustable interconnection strut which is connected to the adjacent flaps by way of corresponding load introduction fittings. The interconnection system is in particular suitable for large aircraft in which the gap between adjacent flaps, due to the relatively large lateral movement of the flaps during retraction and extension, becomes relatively wide, and the forces acting on the flaps are relatively great.

Abstract: A holder for holding electrical lines in aircraft construction comprises a base and a component extending away for the base for holding the electrical lines, the holder being made of plastic. The plastic may be a glass-fiber reinforced polyamide material. The component may be formed of the same material as the base in a single injection molding process and may have ribs formed that provide substantial stiffening to the component.

Abstract: A wing, particularly an airfoil of an aircraft, having a changeable profile, which extends in the wing depth direction (5) running essentially in the flow direction and transversely thereto in the wing span direction and has a first planking (55a) and a second planking (55b), and having a flexible area (11), through which the profile of the wing (1) is adjustable, is described.

Abstract: Stripping is accomplished with a pulsed laser beam that targets the material and area to be stripped. The wavelength laser beam may be selected or adjusted to the absorption behavior of the material to be stripped without damaging the underlying base material. A control unit may operably adjust an optical system to guide the laser beam over the surface to be treated. a coating. This makes it possible to improve the surface stripping process.

Abstract: An aircraft wing comprises a main wing with a pivotable trailing edge and a lift-assisting flap on the rear of the wing. The lift-assisting flap is coupled to the main wing and is designed in such a way that in its retracted state, the lift-assisting flap abuts the main wing and in an extended state, the lift-assisting flap forms an air gap with the main wing. The pivotable trailing edge is pivotable in such a way that, by pivoting the pivotable trailing edge, the shape and the width of the air gap are adjustable.

Abstract: A modular installation system for the installation of camera provides an installation kit capable of being used either flush mounted or protruding on the wall of an aircraft cabin. An external mounting housing or a mounting frame may be used. A camera module includes a camera and mounting hardware including a latching mechanism. The camera module may be arranged substantially in front of the installation wall or substantially flush with the installation wall using the same latching mechanism of the camera module. An external housing may be used for housing the camera module such that the external housing mounts on a surface of a wall or partially inserted into a wall, and the external housing provides latching hardware for mating with the latching mechanism of the camera module. A mounting frame may be inserted in a wall cutout to provide latching hardware for mating with the latching mechanism of the camera module for substantially flush mounting.

Abstract: A leg garment comprises two legs joined by a central seam. A piece material is disposed in the crotch area portion of the garment such that no central seam is present in the crotch portion. In one example, the inner thighs of the garment have an inserted material that is joined to the remainder of the garment and the piece of material in the crotch portion by seams. Extra material projecting from the seams may be adhered to adjacent material by an adhesive such that the projecting material by an adhesive such that the projecting material extends away from the crotch portion. The inserted material and the piece of material at the crotch portion may be made of leather or a leather-like material that is capable of protecting a rider from saddle sores.

Abstract: Vacuum sensor application and method for firmly joining a sensor workpiece to a body component, where a) firstly, an adhesive layer which is provided by a cross-linked transfer contact adhesive is laminated to a sensor contact surface of the sensor workpiece, b) then, by using known radiation methods, the geometric patterns of a plurality of galleries to be arranged in a laminar fashion are transferred to the sensor contact surface by a light beam that penetrates the transfer contact adhesive, are subsequently introduced into the sensor workpiece and, in the process, are removed congruently with the structures of the adhesive layer introduced into the sensor workpiece, c) the adhesive-laminated patterned sensor contact surface is then arranged on a defined surface region of the body component surface, d) after that, a mechanical pressure is exerted on the two joint partners, with which the adhesive-laminated patterned sensor contact surface and the body component surface region (3) are pressed together.

Abstract: A chin chain for bits/bridles for use on a horse (for example, curb bit), includes a first chain element turning out to the left and a second chain element turning out to the right, the chain elements connected by a connecting element. In one example, the connecting element is formed from one piece and engages at least two links of the first chain element turning out to the left and at least two links of the second chain element turning out to the right.

Abstract: A suspension clamping holder is designed for use with a supporting structure. The supporting structure may have a first region and a another region extending from the first region at an angle. The first region has a holding portion, which is used to support the weight of the holder any load carried by the holder. The holder is capable of being suspended from the supporting structure. A holding element on one end of the holder is suspended from the supporting structure and a clamping slider is connected releasably with the bar region of the supporting structure. The clamping slider is capable of being fixedly clamped onto the bar region and the holder is capable of being locked on the supporting structure without any necessary screws.

Abstract: A joint cover in an aircraft has a clamp section and a cover section for covering a joint. The clamp section is used to mount the cover section over the joint. The joint cover conceals the joint and secures the joint from intrusion of foreign objects. One example presents information to passengers, incorporating visual displays or other devices within the cover section. For example, the joint cover may include a cover section and a clamp section of an elastic material that deforms under pressure, concealing the joint even during compression and decompression of the aircraft, which causes movement of the panels defining the joint.

Abstract: An installation device connects shell-shaped longitudinal segments of a jacket body. At least one tool pair comprises an inner tool that is movably guided within a hollow space in longitudinal direction of the jacket body and an outer tool that is movably guided outside the hollow space defined in longitudinal direction. The tools act together as a tool pair. The installation device comprises a carrier pair which is formed by an inner guide carrier that extends in a longitudinal direction and movably guides the inner tool within the hollow space and an outer guide carrier that extends in longitudinal direction outside the jacket body and movably guides the outer tool.

Abstract: A holding device is designed to compensate for the weight of a tool using a non-vertical length of an elastic rope. The elastic rope may be redirected using a pulley mounted to a carrier that is mounted to a support structure. The user is able to use the tool without supporting the entire weight of the tool during use.

Abstract: A locking device contains a displaceable bolt and internal and external control components. In a normal state of the locking device, the internal control component and the external control component displace the bolt and, in an override state of the locking device, only the external control component engages the bolt in order to displace it.

Abstract: An imaging system and methods for resolving elements of interest through and obscuring environment by removing undesired signals from the intervening, obscuring environment is disclosed. A passive hyperspectral imaging sensor is calibrated and integrated into a system having a positioning and attitude detection system and an instrument control and data acquisition system that records data from sensors in a three-dimensional data cube having two spatial dimensions and a spectral dimension. Either an active detection and ranging system or a look-up-table approach or both are used to remove the noise generated by the intervening, obscuring environment from the data relevant to the elements of interest.
