Soft exoskeletons, or exosuits, are clothing-like devices made of fabric or elastomers that wrap around a person's limb and work in parallel with his/her muscles... Characteristic of exosuits is that they rely on the structural integrity of the human body to transfer reaction forces between body segments, rather than having their own frame, thus acting more like external muscles than an external skeleton.  4, record 1, English, - soft%20exoskeleton

Pour certaines applications, un effort plus faible est suffisant pour fournir l'assistance nécessaire au porteur. Le poids de la structure devient une problématique d'autant plus critique qu'il pénalise rapidement son porteur. Dans ces cas d'usages, l'utilisation d'une structure rigide n'est pas obligatoire. Dans cette situation, on retrouve les exosquelettes souples, dont la structure est assemblée à partir de matériaux très flexibles qui se déforment en cours d'utilisation [...] Les technologies employées sont très légères et épousent le corps du porteur.  3, record 1, French, - exosquelette%20souple

StratSat provides a geo-stationary platform at 20 km altitude capable of remaining on-station for up to five years. Payloads include high speed Internet services, direct broadcast TV, mobile telecommunication, etc. The envelope operates as a super-pressure hull(i. e. with no ballonet pressure control system). The hull will be of laminated fabric construction with Tedlar/Teflon, helium/weather barrier developed from AT-10/04. Multiple catenary curtain system supporting a payload module enclosed completely by the envelope. [The] payload module... comprises a single structural module with an externally mounted payload/mission system. The payload module provides a home for all of the airship's primary systems except for the propulsion system. The systems are close packed within the highly insulated module ensuring efficient heat and energy management. The payload module is pendulum stabilised within the envelope. The solar array provides the sole source of renewable energy for the airship. The array is placed over the upper quarter of the hull and extends over approximately three-quarters of the length of the craft. The array can be realigned to the daily sun location/angle by the roll rotation of the whole airship. The energy collected by the solar array is stored for use during the night in the series of batteries. Located in the stored for use during the night in a series of batteries. Located in the payload module, the batteries run the propulsion system, airship services and provide power to the mission system for up to 14 hours(during winter). The airship is propelled and steered by means of a ’Contra-Rotating Coned Rotor’ mounted on a tailcone at the rear of the envelope, as a part of a compound propulsion system. The unit provides longitudinal thrust(to counter the prevailing stratospheric winds) and lateral force(for manoeuvering) to enable the airship to hold station within a 1 km cube. The airship will be equipped with a multi-channel Flight Control Sy  7, record 5, English, - StratSat%C2%AE

The air permeability of fabric is one of very important properties of technical fabrics. The air permeability depends on shape and value of the pores and the inter-thread channels, which are dependent on the structural parameters of the fabric. The main structural parameters, which have influence on fabric air permeability, are set and linear densities of yarns and weave.  2, record 9, English, - air%20permeability

Once a fabric is rendered impermeable as, for example, by impregnation and/or coating with vinyl, neoprene, elastomers, polyurethane, and so forth, an entirely new set of construction uses of fabrics arises. The fabric, being nonporous, can now be lifted by air to form an air-supported structure capable of wide variations of size and shape. it can also be water filled, taking the shape of the fabric under hydrostatic pressure to form various enclosures or barriers such as inflatable flood gates in tidal zones. Lastly, if the coating has structural stiffness, it, in itself, becomes a structural element. Its use is now unlimited for enclosures, roofs, partitions, and many other related uses.  1, record 14, English, - impermeable%20fabric
