SummingUp : • Nano-Metal Film Absorbers areBroad Band Absorbers, Superior toCarbonizedFoam Absorber • Incombustible. Non-Toxic.NoHazardousWaste • Nano-Metal Film Absorbers on Dutysince 1995 • Ferrite Tiles, verythin but expensive (30-400 MHz) • Frustrated total internalreflectionas rain sensingcardevice. • Double Prisms:Newton 1700, BOSE 1900, Sommerfeld 1954
