The component is configured in U shape as the rail component, the limbs thereof having locking points for the releasable locking of the plug pin fitted to the aircraft cabin module and the centre portion thereof connecting the two limbs comprising the electrical contacts for the voltage supply and for the exchange of data with the aircraft cabin module.

Abstract: System and method for the voltage supply of aircraft cabin modules (1). An electric supply voltage and an additive data signal are transmitted via a cable (3). The aircraft cabin modules (1) have a connection plug (2) for plugging onto the cable (3) and an isolating circuit (5), which isolates the transmitted supply voltage from the data signal.

Abstract: A user interface for monitoring and controlling a plurality of aircraft cabin systems includes a liquid crystal display screen (LCD) having a touch sensitive input surface including a plurality of touch sensitive input keys. Each key is labeled with a symbol identifying a respective one of the plurality of aircraft cabin systems. First and second system menus corresponding to first and second systems of the plurality of aircraft cabin systems are displayable on the LCD as first and second system graphical menus when a key identifying the appropriate system is activated by the user. The graphical menus include status information and operating functions as well as an input area that provides selection and control of the operating functions of the respective system when touched by the user.

Abstract: A method of monitoring and controlling aircraft cabin systems using a user interface having a touch sensitive display and a plurality of input keys corresponding to the systems. One of the input keys corresponding to a first aircraft cabin system is activated to display a first system graphical menu having status information and operating functions of the first system, and a touch sensitive input area of the first system graphical menu is touched to perform selection or control of the first system. Another one of the input keys corresponding to a second aircraft cabin system can be activated to display a second system graphical menu having status information and operating functions of the second system, and a touch sensitive input area of the second system graphical menu can be touched to perform selection and control of the second system.

Abstract: An operating apparatus for a cabin system in an aircraft monitors and controls the functions of cabin systems such as information, audio, lighting, door, water and/or wastewater systems. The apparatus includes a main computer processor with an application software adapted to the cabin system, a display screen, an operator interface with a surface-sensitive input device, a controller for the operator interface, a graphics controller, an audio controller, and at least one magnetic coupler for associated interfaces, arranged in a housing. To carry out additional autonomous functions, an additional second computer with a second central processing unit and further electronic assemblies, is integrated into the housing of the operating apparatus with the common display screen and the common surface-sensitive input device so that an operation of the second computer can be carried out via the surface-sensitive input device.

Abstract: A monitoring and control device includes a touch sensitive LCD screen, with a basic layout including a display area and touch sensitive keys depicted with associated system and function symbols. A main menu or any one of plural system menus can be selectively displayed in the display area. The system menus relate to cabin systems such as audio, lighting, and water systems. The selected system menu displays status information and touch input keys for the user to monitor the status and to select and control the operation of the system. The main menu is a top level window providing essential information regarding all of the cabin systems and allows a user to select any one of the system menus. The device is compact, user-friendly, and adaptable to various system requirements by mere software reprogramming. The displays and input keys are all virtual elements generated by software.

Abstract: The invention relates to isolated nucleotide sequences from Coryneform bacteria which code for the pck gene encoding the enzyme phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PEP carboxykinase). The invention also relates a process for the fermentative preparation of L-amino acids, in particular L-lysine, L-threonine, and L-glutamate by attenuation of the pck gene.

Abstract: Operating apparatus for a cabin system in an aircraft, which serves for the monitoring and control of the functions of preferably information, audio, lighting, door, water and/or wastewater systems. The apparatus comprises, among other things, a main computer processor with a prescribed operating system and with an application software adapted to the cabin system, an operator interface with a surface-sensitive input device, a controller for the operator interface, a graphics controller, an audio controller, and at least one magnetic coupler for associated interfaces.

Abstract: A user interface for monitoring and controlling a plurality of aircraft cabin systems includes a liquid crystal display screen having a display surface configured to provide an input to the user interface when touched by a user of the user interface, and a plurality of touch sensitive input keys adjacent to the liquid crystal display screen. Each key is labeled with a symbol identifying a respective one of the plurality of aircraft cabin systems. First and second system menus corresponding to first and second systems of the plurality of aircraft cabin systems are displayable on the display screen as first and second system graphical menus when a touch sensitive key identifying the appropriate system is activated by the user.

Abstract: A method of monitoring and controlling a plurality of aircraft cabin systems using a user interface having a touch sensitive display and a plurality of input keys corresponding to the plurality of aircraft cabin systems. The method includes activating one of the input keys corresponding to a first system of the plurality of aircraft cabin systems to display a first system graphical menu having status information and operating functions of the first system, and touching a touch sensitive input area of the first system graphical menu to perform at least one of selection and control of the operating functions of the first system.

Abstract: A device is provided for fastening a first part to a stationary second part, in particular to a part of a vehicle, having a fastening element which can be connected to the first part and has at least one locking element arranged so it cannot be lost, such that it can be brought into a locked position where the first part is joined to the second part and it can also be brought into an unlocked position where the first part is released from the second part, where the fastening element has a top part facing the second part and a bottom part facing the first part, where the top part and the bottom part are designed to pivot about a pivot axis, and the locking element is mounted on the top part.
