Abstract: A rigid panel is disclosed which has elongate elements embedded therein. The elongate elements may be electrical wires. The rigid panel has a supporting splint embedded therein which is placed between the elongate elements and a rigid structural layer so as to provide protection to the rigid structural layer from the effects of the elongate elements.

Abstract: A flow deflector arrangement is used in combination with a pipe arrangement secured through a component, the flow deflector arrangement comprising: a nut to secure the pipe arrangement to the component, and a shroud for attachment to the component so as to extend at least partially around the pipe arrangement when the pipe arrangement is secured to the component by the nut. The nut has an outwardly directed flange to adopt a position spaced from the component, and the shroud defines at least one deflector surface which, when the shroud is attached to the component, extends away from the component in spaced relation to the pipe arrangement. The flange and the deflector surface cooperate in deflecting a flow of fluid flowing from the component and along the outside of the pipe arrangement such that the flow is deflected generally outwardly from the pipe arrangement with a degree of swirl.
