Abstract:
A lighting control system includes a sensor to generate a signal representative of at least one of a position of a seat, a presence of passenger in the seat, the position of at least one hand of the passenger, a configuration of the at least one hand of the passenger, and a direction of movement of the at least one hand of the passenger. A first light source, which generates a first light column, is located forward of the seat. A second light source, which generates a second light column, is located rearward of the seat. A controller generates a control signal that controls at least one parameter associated with an intensity, a color, a projected pattern, projected pattern location, or a width formed by a combination of the first and second light columns.
Abstract:
A lighting arrangement for an aircraft includes a navigational lighting group (42) disposed at a leading edge (36) of a wing (38) of the aircraft. The navigational lighting group includes at least one right of way light (50, 52). The lighting arrangement also includes a light bar (44) extending along at least a portion of the leading edge of the wing, adjacent to the navigational lighting group. The light bar is configured to emit light along a length thereof.

Abstract:
A passenger service system includes a seat, a first sensor associated with the seat that senses a position of the seat and generates a first signal, a second sensor associated with the seat that senses the presence of a passenger in the seat and generates a second signal, a first light source disposed at a predetermined location with respect to the seat, where the first light source generates light, a third sensor associated with the first light source that senses at least a position of at least one hand of the passenger and generate a third signal, and a controller that receives the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal and generates a first light signal that controls at least one parameter associated with the light including at least one of an intensity, a color, a projected pattern, projected pattern location, or a width.
Abstract:
An aircraft sideboard (10) includes a first portion (26) with a first top surface (32) and a first panel (62). The first top surface (32) is disposed substantially horizontally at a first height and the first panel (62) is disposed substantially vertically adjacent to the first top surface (32). A second portion (28) is disposed adjacent to the first portion (26) at a first end of the first portion. The second portion (28) includes a second top surface (34) and a second panel (64). The second top surface (34) is disposed substantially horizontally at a second height and the second panel (64) is disposed substantially vertically adjacent to the second top surface (43). A table (76) is stowed interiorly to the first portion (26). The table (76) extends from the first portion when deployed. The first top surface (32) is immovable. The table (76) deploys by tilting the first panel (62) along a pivot axis defined adjacent to a bottom end thereof. The first height is greater than the second height.
Abstract:
A system for controlling passenger services includes a sensor that generates a signal representative of the at least one of the position of the seat, the presence of passenger in the seat, the position of the at least one hand of the passenger, the configuration of the at least one hand of the passenger and the direction of movement of the at least one hand of the passenger. A first light source, an air supply, and a window shade are disposed at a predetermined locations with respect to the seat. A controller, connected to the sensor, generates a control signal that controls at least one parameter associated with at least one of light generated by the first light source, air supplied by the air supply and a degree of openness of the window shade.
