    Abstract: The following invention relates to high energy capacitors with increased thermal resilience over conventional bulk ceramic capacitors, particularly capacitors that may be formed into a three dimensional shape to fit inside an existing device. The capacitor is provided with first and second electrodes (16, 17) which have a plurality of interlocating protrusions (11, 12), which increase the relative surface area of the electrodes. The first and second electrodes (16, 17) and interlocating protrusions (11, 12) are provided with through holes (29). The devices are filled with a flowable dielectric material.

    Abstract: A method for electroless metal deposition on a surface in a finely dimensioned space (e.g. the bore of a hollow fibre) comprises introducing into said space an electroless plating solution that has a nil or relatively low plating rate at normal room temperature, and there after heating said structure to an elevated temperature for a period sufficient to cause metal to plate on the wall surface. The steps of introducing and heating may be repeated as necessary to build up a required thickness.

    Abstract: The heat exchanger 11 is at least partially comprised of a fibre reinforced polymer composite (FRPC) 14 having at least one elongate void 17. The FRPC is formed of at least one layer of fibre substantially encapsulated in a binder matrix. The elongate void is arranged to receive a heat exchange medium, which may be a fluid 19. The heat exchanger may have a thermal insulation layer 16 to prevent thermal transfer of energy from the fluid to a surface 18 of the heat exchanger. A thermally conductive layer 15, such as a metallic fabric, foil or mesh, may be provided to permit rapid conduction of thermal energy. The elongate void may be created by providing a low melting temperature metal alloy (38a, figure 4a), which is melted and poured out of the FRPC heat exchanger to provide the elongate void. Alternatively, the elongate void may be created by use of a sugar paste that is removed by hot water. The heat exchanger suitable as a heat exchanging panel on a vehicle, vessel or craft, and is lighter and stronger than conventional metal panels.

    Abstract: The structural integrated wiring loom comprises conductor and separator structures, encapsulated a binder matrix. The conductor and separator structures comprise conductive and non-conductive fibre plies respectively. One wiring loom includes a conductor having at least two electrical connectors encapsulated by a separator structure and a screen structure which encapsulates the separator structure. The screen structure comprises further conductive fibre plies. Other wiring looms also include a central separator layer. Preferably the conductive fibres are metal coated carbon fibres. The device may be used to replace structural panels on a vehicle vessel or craft, to transfer electrical power or RF signals, data transmission around a composite structure.

    Abstract: A fibrous armour material for dissipating the kinetic energy of a moving object is impregnated with a shear thickening fluid. The shear thickening fluid includes particles of a thickening agent suspended in a liquid. The volume fraction of the thickening agent in the shear thickening fluid is selected so that the shear thickening fluid has a viscosity-shear stress characteristic substantially corresponding to curve B or lying between curve B and curve D as shown in Figure 2.
