Abstract: Disclosed is a fire protection layer composite for use as preventive fire protection material, and to a method for producing a fire protection layer composite. The invention relates to non-flammable and fire-retardant materials, in particular film composites which are intumescent in the event of a fire. The fire protection layer composite comprises at least one plastics layer, which surrounds a transparent fire protection layer, wherein the fire protection layer comprises an intumescent material. The fire protection layer composite makes it possible to achieve effective fire protection in a compact design. The fire protection layer composite does not produce soot or release toxic flue gases, even under the influence of very high temperatures. This prevents danger to the health of a user of the fire protection layer composite in the event of a fire.

Abstract: Modular wireless switch system for use in an aircraft, which may include an integrated LED backlight. The system includes a master module having a power supply, a switch, and a wireless communicator configured to communicate a switch state. The system also includes a slave module connectable to the master module, which has a second switch and which is configured to communicate a second switch state using the wireless communicator. All wireless communications may be handled by the master module using a protocol such as ZigBee™. All communications from the slave module may be transmitted to the master module via a wired bus. Additional slave modules are connectable to the bus as desired.
