Abstract: An electromagnetic isolation cavity surrounded by a generally annular solid conductive wall is produced by coating edge surfaces of respective dielectric tape layers with a material containing a conductor. The tape layers are then stacked, with the coated edge surfaces aligned and facing the electromagnetic isolation cavity.

Abstract: Generally annular full tape thickness conductors are formed in single or multiple tape layers, and then stacked to produce an annular solid conductive wall for enclosing an electromagnetic isolation cavity. The conductors may be formed using punch and fill operations, or by flowing conductor-containing material onto the tape edge surfaces that define the interior sidewalls of the cavity.

Abstract: A system for managing situational events associated with a mobile platform (such as a train, ship, aircraft or automobile) is provided. The system includes an operational events module that determines if a situation regarding the mobile platform has occurred based on event input. The event input is generated by a log book, a maintenance system, a materials management system, a diagnostic system or an operations system for example. The system also includes a situational manager module that determines at least one alert based on the situation if the situation exists. The system further includes a graphical user interface module that displays the event input, the situation and the alert data to enable an operator to view the events relating to the mobile platform and determine a response to the situation if a situation exists.
