  • Patent number: 11214373
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10801594
    Abstract: A screw actuator, includes: a screw comprising a first helical contact surface and a first helical raceway surface; a nut comprising a second helical contact surface and a second helical raceway surface; and a plurality of ball bearings in a helical raceway formed by the first helical raceway surface and the second helical raceway surface. When the screw is loaded relative to the nut in a first axial direction, the first helical contact surface is compressed against the second helical contact surface. When the screw is loaded relative to the nut in a second axial direction, the plurality of ball bearings are compressed between the first helical raceway surface and the second helical raceway surface.

  • Patent number: 10607308
    Abstract: 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.
