Abstract: A meal table assembly readily adaptable for use with various oblique seat installations. The meal table assembly installs on a seat-side console, stows openly against a fuselage wall or aircraft centerline, rotates to a deployed position, and further deploys to an expanded condition. In embodiments, the meal table is bi-fold and includes at least one of vertical and fore/aft adjustment. The meal table assembly according to the present disclosure provides a large usable table size, usability when stowed, reduced weight/cost, increased rigidity, less design variation within the overall seating platform, and ability to stow partially for increased ingress/egress clearance.

Abstract: A system and method for operating electronic equipment associated with a passenger seat and/or surrounding furniture in a vehicle cabin such as an aircraft cabin. According to a standard operating mode, electronic equipment is activated and/or operable without power consumption restrictions. According to a power saving operating mode, corresponding to an economy mode or a Sabbath mode, electronic equipment is inactivated and/or operable with power consumption restrictions. Operating mode selection may be via an interface unit associated with the passenger seat. In embodiments, power consumption statistics are calculated and displayed to the passenger to indicate an economy score for a flight. In embodiments, selecting power saving mode may cause the electronic equipment to perform differently during higher aircraft power demand periods as compared to lower aircraft power demand periods.

Abstract: A method of creating a local oscillator light beam LO for a phase-resolved spectroscopy measurement comprises the steps of providing a first measuring light beam (1) and a second measuring light beam (2) being aligned to each other, creating the local oscillator light beam LO by an optical non-linear interaction of a first portion (1A) of the first measuring light beam (1) and a first portion (2A) of the second measuring light beam (2) in an optical nonlinear medium (20), and superimposing the local oscillator light beam LO, a second portion (1B) of the first measuring light beam (1) and a second portion (2B) of the second measuring light beam (2) with a predetermined mutual phase relationship, for providing a sample light beam (3) for the phase-resolved spectroscopy measurement. The local oscillator light beam LO and the second portions (1B, 2B) of the first and second measuring light beams (1, 2) are superimposed with a displaced Sagnac interferometer (10).

In order for the content of plant substances, in particular secondary plant substances, of at least one part of a plant to be determined and optimized more expediently, it is provided that the at least one part of the plant is irradiated successively with light of different wavelengths and/or wavelength ranges and that, in response to the irradiation of the at least one part of the plant with light of each wavelength and/or at each wavelength range, the chlorophyll fluorescence of at least substantially the same wavelength and/or at least substantially the same wavelength range is measured in each case.

Abstract: An in-seat mini-bar assembly, apparatus and method of manufacture is provided. The assembly includes a housing that is insertable into a compartment of the seating module and includes a container with an interior cavity that is conductively cooled by thermo-electric elements of a micro-chiller unit mounted on a conductive rear plate that forms an exterior side of the container. A vent is configured proximate to a front section of the housing to receive outside air forward of the housing for channeling the outside air to a rear section of the housing using a duct attached to the vent at the front section. The duct is shaped for a fluidic intake of the outside air by a frontal flange having a wide cross-sectional area that is gradually tapered to a circular cross-sectional area to direct the airflow in a uniform manner.
