A dynamic structural panel having one or more compliant dimple layers connected together by one or more reinforcing layers engaging ends of dimples on the dimple layer to create a cavity between the layers. The dimples are spaced apart from one another to form a dimple layer region. The dimple layer region may be either curved relative to the dimples or corrugated, thereby providing compliancy for the dynamic structural panel. The connection of the dimple layer and reinforcing layers creates an integral structural panel that can be planar by having identical heights of the dimples on the dimple layer to create a planar panel (flat) or nonplanar (curved) by varying the heights of the dimples on the dimple layer or through planar spacing adjustment. The panel can be modified in various ways such as by choice of materials and/or geometries of the various layers and/or incorporation of additional structural features.

Electrical interconnections

Electrical interconnectors

A closure is provided for connections between high voltage cables and other electrical equipment, such as another high voltage cable, a transformer, or switch gear. Insulation is provided by an insulating gel which forms interfaces with itself and/or materials of the cable or other electrical equipment. The interfaces have a high interfacial dielectric strength, which prevents failure along the interfaces.

A windsurfer mast base collar which has a a collar supporting a pair of spring loaded detents that are self-releasing upon application of modest upward manual forces and self-engaging upon application of downward mast securing forces upon an upper load bearing surface of the collar. The relative positions of the force bearing elements of the collar and the mast base to which it is attached results in the detents being subjected primarily to compressive loads.

Environmental sealing may be achieved by means of a flexible envelope having therein a sealing material having a cone penetration value preferably from 100-350 (10.sup.-1 mm) and an ultimate elongation of at least 100%. The material is preferably mechanically deformed preferably by shear and preferably causing it to be comminuted.
