Abstract: A fire fighting blower (1) comprises a propeller (2) coaxially mounted in a tubular casing (3) for generating an axial airflow. The blower comprises an airflow guiding device (9) in the casing (3) for obtaining a concentrated air jet having a substantially ovalized section, it comprises within the tubular casing (3) an assembly of first deflectors (4) for concentrating the axial airflow and generating a concentrated axial air jet and an assembly of second deflectors (16, 17) for generating an air stream deflected from the concentrated axial air jet so that the concentrated air jet having an ovalized section is a combination of the concentrated axial air jet and the deflected air stream.

Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting lateral intrusion of a secure electronic component enclosure are disclosed. According to one system, the system includes a secure enclosure for enclosing at least one electronic component. The secure enclosure includes a first and a second printed circuit board (PCB) and a security ring sandwiched between the first and second PCBs defining an interior region for enclosing the at least one electronic component. The PCBs define opposite sides of the enclosure and the security ring defines lateral surfaces of the enclosure. The lateral surfaces defined by the security ring are wrapped by at least two wires that define at least two circuits. An intrusion detection module detects an intrusion of the secure enclosure based on a condition of the at least two circuits.
