  • Patent number: 11453501
    Abstract: An arrangement of individual seats intended to be installed in a cabin of an aeroplane includes at least one assembly of two seats turned towards the interior in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the arrangement. An end assembly includes a first seat and a second seat, each seat being convertible between a sitting position and a recumbent position in which the seat defines a bed surface. An intermediate element includes a surface, referred to as the intermediate surface, located in the same plane as the bed surfaces of the first seat and of the second seat, such that the bed surfaces of the first seat and of the second seat as well as the intermediate surface form a common bed surface.

  • Publication number: 20130300740
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for displaying data, such as 3D models, having spatial coordinates. In one aspect, a height map and color map are generated from the data. In another aspect, material classification is applied to surfaces within a 3D model. Based on the 3D model, the height map, the color map, and the material classification, haptic responses are generated on a haptic device. In another aspect, a 3D user interface (UI) data model comprising model definitions is derived from the 3D models. The 3D model is updated with video data. In another aspect, user controls are provided to navigate a point of view through the 3D model to determine which portions of the 3D model are displayed.
