Aerogel composite materials having a lofty fibrous batting reinforcement preferably in combination with one or both of individual short randomly oriented microfibers and conductive layers exhibit improved performance in one or all of flexibility, drape, durability, resistance to sintering, x-y thermal conductivity, x-y electrical conductivity, RFI-EMI attenuation, andor burn-through resistance. The sensor includes a printed circuit board having an opening formed therein. The logical circuit is mapped to at least one physical cable segment associated with the logical circuit.
