German term or phrase: vorempfunden
In a translation of an interview with an aircraft designer, he's standing inside the plane and says the follows. Should this word be translated as "presensitised"? If it is being used in an engineering sense, then, sorry - it's not my field!
Thanks..

Wir können hier eine Bar-Unit installieren, wir können hier ein Businesscenter installieren in diesem Bereich. Das funktioniert alles mit den von uns *vorempfundenen* Befestigungen und den Schnittstellen zu Flugzeugsystemen, wie dem Licht, wie den Kommunikationssystemen, die innerhalb des Flugzeuges funktionieren sollen, wie auch mit den Bodenstationen und direkt mit den Kundenbereichen, mit seinen Officebereichen, mit seinen Businessbereichen für Geschäftsleute, die jetzt hier nicht abgeschnitten sein wollen von Ihren Betrieben.
