Abstract: Systems and methods for creating application runtime environments or application environments that can be downloaded and integrated into the computing environment of a computing device are disclosed. One embodiment of the invention includes a computing device on which an operating system is installed that creates a computing environment, an Application Platform application, where the Application Platform application is at least partially natively implemented and creates an application runtime environment when executed by the computing device, and a cross-platform application, where the cross-platform application is configured to be executed within the application runtime environment and is not natively executable by the computing device. In addition, the Application Platform application is configured to integrate the cross-platform application into the computing environment of the computing device by providing at least one launch point for the cross-platform application within the computing environment.

Abstract: A belt seal assembly is provided for an associated vehicle. The belt seal assembly includes a first leg and a second leg interconnected at one end by a base to form an inverted, generally U-shaped body. A seal lip extends outwardly from an outer face of the first leg that is configured to slidably, sealingly engage an associated window surface of the associated vehicle. A tab extends from the body and is dimensioned to be received in snap-fit relation with an associated opening of an associated outer door panel. The tab includes a hard retaining insert received in a more flexible overmold that forms an end cap. A protrusion extending from the retaining insert snap-fits with an opening in the associated vehicle door panel. The belt seal assembly can also be removed from the vehicle for servicing.

Abstract: A door assembly for passenger seating comprises a base having a leading end in which a recess is formed, and a door that is curved in end cross-section. The door is pivotable with respect to the base and, in an open state, the rearward end of the door is located in the recess. The arrangement reduces the space in the forward direction that is required to accommodate the door, and so facilitates provision of a minimum size of gap between seat rows without having to increase inter-row pitch.

Abstract: A water balloon cannon including a barrel with a bore diameter designed to receive a water balloon. The barrel extends between a muzzle and a rear portion, where the rear portion defines a compressed air port and a water port. The water balloon cannon further includes a water valve for introducing a volume of water through the water port into the rear portion of the bore diameter, and an air valve for introducing a flow of compressed air through the compressed air port into the rear portion of the bore diameter. The volume of water is designed to act as a buffer between the flow of compressed air and the water balloon positioned within the bore diameter.

Abstract: Passenger seating comprises rows of seats with a door assembly at the end of each row for improving a seat occupant's privacy. The door assembly includes a door that slides into and out of a base in a primary mode of operation, and which supports a secondary mode of opening. The secondary mode may involve pivoting on hinges. A latch is provided to prevent the door from being opened routinely in the secondary mode. The door assembly is also capable of retracting with respect to the adjacent seat to improve access.

Abstract: A belt assembly for an associated vehicle has a body that includes a substantially planar region dimensioned for abutting engagement with the vehicle. At least one seal lip extends outwardly from a first face of the body to engage an associated surface of a vehicle window. A first hook is provided on the body for receipt over a terminal tip of the vehicle structural assembly, and a second hook is dimensioned for at least partial receipt through an associated opening around the door window opening. The first hook is positioned over the terminal tip and then the second hook is rotated until the second hook elastically deforms outwardly and subsequently snap fits into an associated opening and the substantially planar region abuts along the associated structural assembly of the door to preclude movement of the belt assembly upwardly, cross-car, and fore-and-aft relative to the associated vehicle.

Abstract: An armrest assembly comprising a base structure and an upper structure that has an upper surface providing an armrest. The upper structure is movable with respect to the base structure between an upper position and a lower position under the control of a lockable actuator that is operable to lock the upper structure with respect to the base structure in any one of a plurality of adoptable positions. A second locking device is operable to lock the upper structure with respect to the base structure in at least one of the adoptable positions, the locking device including locking elements that inter-engage mechanically when the second locking device locks the upper structure with respect to said base structure.
