Abstract: A technique for enabling access to supplementary materials related to a program that is broadcast to a plurality of audience members. A programming signal is obtained to be used for performing the program. A supplementary material ID signal is obtained that uniquely identifies particular program-related supplementary material from among a plurality of available program-related supplementary materials, but which does not include sufficient data for printing and/or displaying such particular program- related supplementary material. The programming signal and the supplementary material ID signal are combined into an output signal that is broadcast from a broadcast signal source. At a location of each audience member, the broadcast output signal is received, the programming signal and the supplementary material ID signal are separated from the received broadcast output signal, the program is performed with the separated programming signal on reproduction equipment, the separated supplementary material ID signals received at the location during an interval of time are stored, and a control signal is generated, related to the stored supplementary material ID signals, upon actuation by the audience member at such location. At a location remote from each of the audience members, a database is provided that stores data for printing and/or displaying information related to the plurality of available program-related supplementary materials, the control signal is received and, in response thereto, stored data is retrieved from the database for printing and/or displaying information related to the stored program-related supplementary material respectively corresponding to the supplementary material ID signals, and the retrieved data is transmitted to the location from which the control signal was sent.

Abstract: Unsafe electric energies can exist in aircraft fuel tanks as a result of static build-up or induced currents from lightning strikes. The invention provides an aircraft fuel tank (1) including two discharge paths (18-21-5 & 18-20-15-16-17-12) for the safe discharge of electricity from the tank (1) before it reaches levels where an arc, spark or other electric discharge, able to ignite fuel in the tank, could occur. The failure of both the discharge paths (18-21-5 & 18-20-15-16-17-12) would significantly increase the risk of an ignition causing electrical discharge occurring. The tank (1) thus also includes a circuit (11) for monitoring the integrity of each discharge path.  By having at least two discharge paths (18-21-5 & 18-20-15-16-17-~12), should one discharge path fail (which failure being detected by the monitoring circuit (11), at least one alternative discharge path exists for the safe discharge of electrical energy from the fuel tank (1), until the failed discharge path is repaired.
