Thermal Structures has nearly 250 materials, mostly ceramic-based in its system. Outer covers are mostly 300 series stainless, with an increasing interest in both Inconel for higher temperature applications and aluminum for lower temperature uses."Sometimes there is a preconceived notion that the metal cover is the blanket," Buckett said. "The real key is the insulation under the metal cover. The idea, if we''re in the loop early enough, is to select the right materials and develop a noise or heat blanket for the specific application."

What applications present the biggest challenge in terms of machine productivity?Carl/Ringfeder: Industrial applications, such as highly corrosive environments requiring special stainless steels, are the biggest challenges. Applications in which a locking device is dimensionally too large to fit into a component, or in which the torque requirements are beyond the capability of any device on the market, can also present a challenge.Blair/Ruland: The bolt pattern on locking devices can bring many challenges. Because of the time required to loosen and tighten the bolts, locking devices are not well suited for applications that require regular adjustments. Confined areas can also pose problems because of limited access to the bolt heads. Another challenge for locking devices is equipment with extended length shafts, which can be difficult to service because of the disassembly required, especially if the shaft is supported at both ends.

Another question is whether the router antennae eventually can be mounted on apparatus randomly dispersed at the scene instead of hand-positioned on tripods around the building, the inconvenient and cumbersome current method. Not only does it take personnel who would otherwise be used to attack the fire to position the tripods, but fences, buildings and other obstacles could conceivably inhibit prompt, proper positioning."Placing the routers on fire trucks is not feasible at this point, although MeshNetworks engineers are looking a different antenna configurations," Godfrey says.
