Patent number: 11214373Abstract: A galley for an aircraft includes a frame having metal structural members having interior surfaces and panels coupled to and supported by the frame. Each panel has a core and a facesheet having an inner surface. The frame and the panels define a cart compartment configured to receive a galley cart. The interior surfaces of the metal structural members are interior of the inner surface of the corresponding facesheet. The galley includes a cooling system having a supply duct and a return duct along one or more of the panels in flow communication with the cart compartment configured to supply cooled airflow from a heat exchanger. The galley includes insulating panels located in the cart compartment covering the interior surfaces of the corresponding metal structural members.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: James P. Schalla, Mark Edward King, Michael J. Burgess, Lyndsey Jo Penfield, James Paul Mehlos

Patent number: 10607308Abstract: A system and method for monitoring a passenger requiring assistance during travel, such as an unaccompanied minor, a disabled passenger, or an elderly passenger, on a common carrier. The system includes a machine-readable tag such as a Quick Response code (QR code) or a RFID tag that references passenger information, including itinerary information. A first mobile device of a first agent decodes the QR code to present the unaccompanied minor information. A second mobile device of a second agent decodes the QR code to present the unaccompanied minor information. In one embodiment, the QR code includes a uniform resource locator (URL) for accessing the passenger information and the first and second agents can authorize and accept the transfer of the unaccompanied minor by interfacing with a user interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2014Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Michael J. Burgess, Scott T. Yoshimura, Richard K. Simms
