Abstract: A helicopter tactile accedence warning system includes a control stick and a tactile warning device attached to the control stick. A computer or micro processor and a keyboard for entering a safe temperature profile are also provided as well as a thermocouple for measuring the turbine output temperature. The computer compares the actual temperature versus the safe temperature profile and generates a signal to activate the tactile warning device when the actual temperature falls outside of the safe temperature profile to warn a pilot to abort the start. The tactile warning device is also activated during flight operations when an over stress condition occurs to thereby warn the pilot to take corrective action. In addition, the tactile warning may be activated at a first frequency as an early warning and then at a second frequency as an indication of imminent danger.

Abstract: The field of the invention is that of devices for detecting non-metallic objects concealed on human subjects. These devices are more particularly dedicated to the surveillance and protection of reserved access areas, such as airport areas. The device according to the invention comprises a portable detector comprising a transmitter and a receiver of microwave frequency signals disposed in an enclosure of chaotic geometry including a plurality of measurement holes. The microwave frequency signal measured by this detector depends on the nature of the objects disposed under the holes. A processing device linked to this detector is used to correlate the measured signals with prerecorded signals. When the correlation exceeds a certain threshold corresponding to the presence of suspect objects, an alarm is generated.
