Abstract: A human and/or non-human cargo attachment device for a rotorcraft. The device comprises a mounting interface with a carrier device and an attachment that is rigidly mounted to the carrier device for attachment to a rotorcraft rope or cable. A device body is mounted to the carrier device. The device body has a stationary body section and a movable body section. The stationary body section is stationarily arranged on the carrier device and comprises a plurality of rotatable attachment hooks for attachment of human or non-human external cargo. The movable body section is movably arranged on the carrier device for enabling movements of the movable body section relative to the stationary body section between a locking position and a release position.

Abstract: An apparatus for connection to an anchor track or an anchor point in an aircraft, comprising a main body, a quick fastening device that is attached to the main body and configured for being removably fastened to the anchor track or the anchor point, and at least a first connecting element and a second connecting element which are attached to the main body and configured for being connected to external load connecting devices.

Abstract: A modular attachment device for insertion into a plurality of strands of a braided rope, comprising: at least one braiding segment that is braidable into the plurality of strands; at least one first lateral fixation segment that is mountable to the at least one braiding segment at a first lateral attachment interface; and at least one second lateral fixation segment that is mountable to the at least one braiding segment at a second lateral attachment interface, wherein at least one of the first and second lateral fixation segments comprises at least one anchor point for attachment of an external component, and wherein the first and second lateral fixation segments are mountable to the at least one braiding segment for securing the plurality of strands on the at least one braiding segment.

Abstract: An external cargo adapter for use with a rotorcraft that comprises at least one carrier station, in particular at least one weapon station, comprising: at least one mounting lug for attachment to the at least one carrier station; at least one cargo carrying ring for connection to a connecting rope adapted for transport of an external cargo; and a connecting member that connects the at least one mounting lug with the at least one cargo carrying ring.

Abstract: A collapsible self-supporting human and/or non-human cargo transport device for use with a rotorcraft, comprising: an inner cargo storage area for accommodating human and/or non-human cargo for transportation; a self-supporting skeletal frame, and collapsible cargo securing means mounted to the self-supporting skeletal frame for delimiting the inner cargo storage area. The self-supporting skeletal frame comprises a collapsible platform support structure, a collapsible spreading structure, a telescopic rod connecting the collapsible platform support structure to the collapsible spreading structure, an attachment connected to the telescopic rod to enable attachment of the self-supporting skeletal frame to a rotorcraft, and a plurality of tensioning cables connecting the attachment to the collapsible spreading structure and the collapsible platform support structure.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine headphone adjustment for portable people meter listening to encoded audio streams are disclosed. An example system disclosed herein includes meter data analyzer circuitry to determine an audience estimate for streaming media based on media data measured by a media meter, the media meter to measure the streaming media based on an identification of the streaming media in ambient audio collected by a microphone of the media meter, and data analyzer circuitry to calculate at least one headphone adjustment factor based on a first determined proportion of an audience that listens to streaming media via headphones and a second determined proportion of the audience that listens to streaming media without headphones.
