Abstract: A radar system is provided based on a core module comprising a radar transducer based on a long, flat platform, provided with coupling elements at each end, which may comprise ISO standard compatible corner fittings as used in freight containers Accessory modules may be connected to the core module by means of these coupling elements at each end. Accessory modules may provide power, communications, cooling or other support functions as required. The coupling achieved between the core module and accessory modules may be reinforced with side brackets, and may be sufficiently strong that the weight of the complete assembly may be supported by the core module, or by the accessory modules. The combined length of the core module and accessory modules may be selected to correspond essentially to the length of a standard freight container, and the length of the core module alone may be selected to correspond to the flat bed of a standard medium truck.

The coupling achieved between the core module and accessory modules may be reinforced with side brackets, and may be sufficiently strong that the weight of the complete assembly may be supported by the core module, or by the accessory modules. The combined length of the core module and accessory modules may be elected to correspond essentially to the length of a standard freight container, and the length of the core module alone may be selected to correspond to the flat bed of a standard medium truck.

Abstract: The current invention relates to a pivot linkage device comprising at least one rolling bearing comprising at least one inner cage, one outer cage and a plurality of rolling elements denoted as the bearing components, the device further comprising means for protection against high voltage transients, wherein said protection means are exclusively formed by said bearing components, said bearing components being loaded by loading means arranged in such a manner that a direct electrical connection exists between these components. The current invention also relates to a method for protecting a bearing against high voltage transients by applying a preloading to the bearing's components.
