    摘要: A pressure regulator system is disclosed. The system includes: a valve module; a controller (435); and a plurality of sensors. The controller (435) is operably coupled to the valve module to adjust outflow of gas from an outlet of the valve module to a plurality of masks in an interior of an aircraft. The plurality of sensors comprises at least one of a pressure sensor (440) and a temperature sensor (425) and the controller (435) is configured to receive feedback of sensed data at the outlet of the valve module about at least outlet pressure and ambient temperature from at least the pressure sensor (440) and the temperature sensor (425) and adjust the outflow of gas from the outlet of the valve module by determining an open-valve time based on the feedback of sensed data received from each sensor.

    摘要: Systems and methods for implementing neuromorphic sensor technology in aircraft cabin environments (100) including smart devices to improve and/or expand the use and functionality of the smart devices. In some embodiments, neuromorphic sensors (114) and smart devices are communicatively coupled to a controller (112) operative to analyze object movements and instruct smart devices to operate according to preprogrammed instructions. Non-limiting examples include detecting passenger movements in passenger seating areas and lavatories (110) associated with smart devices, detecting movements of smart devices configured to traverse aircraft aisles (106), etc. The neuromorphic sensors (114) are incapable of capturing visually recognizable passenger identities and therefore satisfy privacy concerns.

    摘要: Disclosed are embodiments of passenger seats (100) equipped with seat belts for mitigating seat damage and spinal tension from free-flail movements. In embodiments, the assembly includes a seat back (102), a first slip ring (110) positioned proximate a top of the seat back, a second slip ring (112) positioned lower on the seat back, a retractor (114), and a webbing (116) threaded through each of the first and second slip rings (110, 112). During normal use of the seat the first slip ring (110) forms a first pivot for the webbing (116), and during a qualifying deceleration event the second slip ring (112) forms a new pivot for the webbing (116) lower on the seat back (102). In a further embodiment, first and second webbings (132, 134) form primary and auxiliary restraints guided by respective first and second pivots.

    摘要: A meal table assembly (122) readily adaptable for use with various oblique seat installations. The meal table assembly (122) installs on a seat-side console (104), stows openly against a fuselage wall or aircraft centerline, rotates to a deployed position, and further deploys to an expanded condition. In embodiments, the meal table (122) is bi-fold and includes at least one of vertical and fore/aft adjustment. The meal table assembly according to the present disclosure provides a large usable table size, usability when stowed, reduced weight/cost, increased rigidity, less design variation within the overall seating platform, and ability to stow partially for increased ingress/egress clearance.
