  • Patent number: 11691711
    Abstract: A removable barrier and an aircraft including such a removable barrier. The barrier including a panel configured to block at least partly an opening delimited by a frame, a plurality of straps each connected to the panel and each having first and second ends, for each strap, a first connection configured to connect the first end of the strap and a first edge of the frame at least temporarily, a second connection configured to connect the second end of the strap and a second edge of the frame at least temporarily, at least one folded overlength at the level of at least one of the first and second ends of the strap, at least one breakable connection keeping the overlength folded.

  • Publication number: 20210325591
    Abstract: A metamaterial optical filter including: a transparent substrate; and a photosensitive polymer layer provided to the transparent substrate, wherein the photosensitive polymer layer is treated using a laser to form a non-conformal holographically patterned subwavelength grating, the holographic grating configured to block a predetermined wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. A system and method for manufacturing holographically patterned subwavelength grating onto the photosensitive polymer layer including: applying a photosensitive polymer layer to a transparent substrate; placing the photosensitive polymer layer between a laser and a mirror; scanning the laser over the photosensitive polymer layer such that a holographic grating is created within the photosensitive polymer layer by interaction between the laser light and light reflected from the mirror; and stacking two or more holographically patterned subwavelength grating layers to form complex metamaterial optical filter stacks.
