  1. inaccurate article: fxc is an aad the cyprus is a cybernetic parachute release system. The fxc type system uses air pressure to extract the reserve pin and was among the first such safety systems. the Cyprus uses a system similar to but with significant differences to the fxc. the fxc is an automatic activation system in that a membrane expands and contracts at a fixed rate as air pressure changes. should air pressure exceed its parameters of contraction speed it activates a spring that contracts to pull a cable attached to a pin. this competes its activity there are no electro or chemical components and it does all of this automatically, you can not change its settings. the cyprus on the other hand comes with a computer constantly monitoring the air pressure and free-fall speed to "compute" the altitude. Ergo the computer mechanical and chemical composition of the system or cybernetic mix. you can change its settings change the opening altitude and interact with it in various ways it is therefore NOT automatic.
    just my two cents worth.
    great article for woofos though.
