An electrically conductive assembly for providing a low electrical resistance contact between an antenna and the corrugated roof of a train. The assembly comprises a gel and skeletal gasket member which has an electrically conductive skeleton encapsulated in a tacky gel. Multiple foam and gel members, typically made up of compressible at least partially open cell foam, are laid in the troughs and are thick enough, such that the top surface of the foam and gel members is about equal to or slightly higher than the top surfaces of the ridges of the corrugated train roof. The antenna is then laid atop the gel and gasket member and bolted to the roof with fasteners in such a manner that the tacky flowable gel at least partially squeezes out the edges of the gel and gasket member as the antenna is compressed downward while the fasteners are snugged up. This compression allows the electrically conductive skeletal member to provide contact between the antenna and the roof, the roof typically metallic and that results in a decrease of EMI (electromagnetic interference). |

A drag-reduction concept for vehicles with open cavities includes dividing a cavity into smaller adjacent cavities through installation of one or more vertical dividers. The dividers may extend the full depth of the cavity or only partial depth. In either application, the top of the dividers are typically flush with the top of the bed or cargo bay of the vehicle. The dividers may be of any material, but are strong enough for both wind loads and forces encountered during cargo loading/unloading. For partial depth dividers, a structural angle may be desired to increase strength. |
