Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel approach to producing a lightweight component. The lightweight component is produced of a much lighter material than has been used before, produced by a process of mixing a compound containing uncured silicone and a volume of microspheres, and then dispensing this material into a mold. Such a mold may be a female mold having the negative three dimensional shape of the lightweight component to be produced. The lightweight component may then be pressurized and/or heated during the curing process either prior to removing the lightweight component from the mold or after removing the lightweight component from the mold.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel approach to producing a seal. The seal is produced of a much lighter material than has been used before, produced by a process of mixing a compound containing uncured silicone and a volume of microspheres, and then dispensing this material into a mold. Such a mold will normally be a female mold having the negative three dimensional shape of the seal to be produced. The seal may then be pressurized and/or heated during the curing process either prior to removing the seal from the mold or after removing the seal from the mold.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a novel approach to producing an aircraft window seal. The aircraft seal is produced of a much lighter material than has been used before, produced by a process of mixing a compound containing uncured silicone and a volume of microspheres, and then dispensing this material into a mold. Such a mold will normally be a female mold having the negative three dimensional shape of the aircraft seal to be produced. The seal may then be pressurized and/or heated during the curing process either prior to removing the seal from the mold or after removing the seal from the mold.

Abstract: An assembly for shielding an aircraft from electromagnetic energy may include a window mounting configured to be conductively coupled to an aperture in a fuselage of an aircraft. The window mounting may include a window pane having an electromagnetically-reflective coating for reflecting electromagnetic energy. The window pane may remain electrically isolated from the fuselage prior to the electromagnetic energy exceeding a frequency of approximately 1 GHz. The window mounting may further include a capacitive gasket capacitively coupling the window pane to the fuselage after the frequency of the electromagnetic energy reflected by the window pane exceeds approximately 1 GHz.

Abstract: A system for shielding an aircraft from electromagnetic energy includes a fuselage, aperture, window mounting, and window plug. The fuselage provides an electrically conductive envelope. The aperture is disposed in the fuselage. The window mounting spans the aperture. The window plug spans the aperture. The window mounting and the window plug are electrically coupled to the fuselage and provide an electrical path spanning the aperture.

Abstract: To attenuate electromagnetic energy, a capacitive bond between a window and a frame is provided by a capacitive coupling. This capacitive coupling includes an elastomeric matrix and a conductive media. The elastomeric matrix provides a seal between the window and the frame. The conductive media is bound to the matrix and conducts electromagnetic energy from the window to the frame.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for the shared playing of video by a first video player and a second video player. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for playing a video signal on a first portable video player synchronously with the same video signal on a second portable video player. In one aspect, the first portable video player is enabled to transmit video to a second player. The video is played synchronously on both video players, wherein the video is received from another player or from storage on the player. In various further aspects, synchronization signals are used to adjust the position of the video signal playing on the first and second video player, where the video signal is present on both video players.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooled continuous casting mold (1) for casting metal, especially steel, which has a casting format (GF) that is defined by respective two opposite broad faces (2, 3) and small faces (4, 5). The broad faces (2, 3) have a cooling area (6) which designed for the maximum casting width and comprises a plurality of cooling channels (7) extending in the direction of casting and being connected to a coolant circuit. The small faces (4, 5) can be adjusted to a predetermined casting format having a corresponding casting width. The aim of the invention is to provide a continuous casting mold for slab formats, especially thin slabs, which allows to adjust an even working end temperature of the broad sides and especially to reduce a considerable temperature drop in the neighborhood of the small faces while at the same time allowing to adjust different casting formats, especially smaller casting formats as compared to the maximum casting format.
