Abstract: A vibration damping material suitable for use in a wearable garment, comprising a sheet of a flexible material with a first and a second side, both comprising a plurality of protrusions arranged in a predetermined pattern, wherein the protrusions on the first and/or second side of the sheet are arranged to be equidistant from adjacent protrusions, wherein the protrusions are distributed in a substantially uniform pattern throughout the first and/or second side of the sheet of flexible material, wherein the protrusions on the first side of the sheet are arranged to be offset with respect to the protrusions on the second side of the sheet of flexible material. A wearable garment comprising such a vibration damping material is also disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus for connecting user equipment to a broadband network includes a chassis having attachment points for connection to a supporting surface and a guide that permits entry of a communication cable. A cable termination unit may be mounted on the chassis such that a cable that is led through the guide can be connected and provided with a termination to which functional connections can be made. A cover may be mounted on the chassis in such a way as to be removable and reattachable to allow access to the chassis. The chassis may include mounting points for connecting at least one functional module to the communication cable and for allowing different communication functions to be provided to user equipment that is connected to the network via the apparatus.

Abstract: A passive airborne mounted collision warning system suitable for light aircraft that enables an observer aircraft to determine the position of a nearby transponder-equipped target aircraft. The transponder-equipped target aircraft transmits replies responsive to interrogation signals from rotating secondary surveillance radars (SSR). In an embodiment of the invention, position of the target aircraft is determined based on the known position of the observer aircraft obtained e.g. via satellite navigation means such as GPS, the position of the SSR, and the bearing of the target aircraft measured by a direction finding antenna. The direction-finding antenna elements and the GPS receiver components are included in a device that is externally mounted on the observer aircraft. The data from the device is connected to a portable computer for processing and presentation to the pilot to alert him of the position of the target aircraft for avoiding collisions.
