  • Patent number: 8671544
    Abstract: A microneedle mold and a method of manufacturing a microneedle mold are provided for use in fabricating microneedles. The method includes providing a microneedle mold base with recesses therein, the recesses corresponding to the microneedles to be fabricated and extending from a first surface of the microneedle mold base; and forming side-port forming holes in the microneedle mold base, the side-port forming holes extend in side surfaces of the recesses within the microneedle mold base at side-port forming positions of the recesses.

  • Patent number: 8646211
    Abstract: A sliding door system includes at least one sliding door having an upper and lower sliding-door mount, as well as an upper and lower guide rail for displaceably receiving the upper and lower sliding-door mount, respectively. The guide rails extend parallel to each other and each have a clear inner width that is at least twice as large as the thickness of the sliding door. The upper and lower sliding-door mounts are each at most half as wide as the clear inner width of each guide rail, allowing moving the sliding door into recessed and lifted-out positions, each constituting a stable state. By overcoming a resistance force, the sliding door can be moved between stable states. The sliding door system is lightweight and robust, and enables sliding doors to be displaced freely without a particular sliding door being assigned in a fixed manner to a particular opening to be covered.

  • Patent number: 8622403
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transport cart (10) for loading an aircraft galley, comprising a base element (12) and a plurality of wheels (14) attached to the base element (12). Two frame elements (20, 24) are connected to the base element (12) and disposed at a distance from each other. A first guide device (28, 28?, 28?) is set up for engaging a complementary second guide device formed on a box that is receivable in the aircraft galley to be loaded and for transporting on the transport cart (10). The first guide device (28, 28?, 28?) is further set up for securing the box against displacement on the transport cart (10) in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis (L) of the transport cart (10) when engaged with the complementary second guide device formed on the box. The transport cart (10) finally comprises a locking mechanism (40, 40?) which is set up for securing the box against displacement on the transport cart in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the transport cart (10).

  • Patent number: 8523197
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a folding transport cart which in a parking configuration has a minimum extension and in an operative configuration has a maximum extension in a transverse direction. A folding transport cart can comprise: two side parts which extend substantially perpendicular to the transverse direction of the transport cart, and a folding base part which comprises two flat base segments which are each connected on one base side axis for articulated movement to one side part and are connected on a common base central axis for articulated movement to one another. In order to ensure reliable folding and unfolding the transport cart can comprise a base locking mechanism for locking the folding base part in the operative configuration and a cover part which is connected for articulated movement to one of the side parts.

  • Patent number: 8387916
    Abstract: A galley including a galley body on a cabin floor for accommodating storage boxes, appliances and at least one service cart; storage boxes for storing goods, and a service cart. The galley body has a plurality of vertical levels that are substantially equidistant from each other, each of the vertical levels divided into a plurality of laterally adjacent compartments whose horizontal and vertical dimensions are equal to an integer multiple of the respective dimensions of a single one of the storage boxes. A transfer table is provided in front of the galley body for access to the compartments. A method includes catering for passengers on an aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20120217342
    Abstract: A fastening arrangement for fastening a storage container in a compartment of an aircraft galley comprises a latching mechanism including a latch and a first biasing mechanism, the first biasing mechanism being adapted to bias the latch into a latched position in a first operational state of the latching mechanism, such that the latch is adapted to interact with the storage container upon insertion of the storage container into the compartment of the aircraft galley so as to be moved from its latched position into an unlatched position against the biasing force applied to the latch by the first biasing mechanism, and such that the latch is adapted to be moved back into its latched position by the biasing force applied to the latch by the first biasing mechanism when the storage container has reached a predefined position in the compartment of the aircraft galley.
