  • Patent number: 10478611
    Abstract: A neuromuscular stimulation device is described having a plastic casing housing a printed circuit board bearing control electronics, with the casing including an external integral flexible portion which is capable of being flexed into the interior of the casing so as to cause an electrically insulative substrate on which is carried an electrically conductive pathway to be pushed into contact with the PCB in order to complete an electrical circuit. Such a switch is relatively inexpensive to produce, as it has few moving parts, can be formed in a usual manufacturing process, and is robust.

  • Publication number: 20190248497
    Abstract: A passenger seating arrangement in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement including a first column (C1) of seat units and second column (C2) of seat units, the first and second columns being separated by an aisle. Each column includes a multiplicity of pairs of seat units, the pairs of seat units being arranged consecutively along the longitudinal direction. Each pair of seat units comprises: an inwardly facing seat unit angled at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft and facing inwardly towards the aisle; an outwardly facing seat unit angled at the same acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft but facing outwardly away from the aisle; the inwardly and outwardly facing seat units bordering each other along a shared boundary.

  • Patent number: 10367178
    Abstract: A neuromuscular stimulator device is described having a plastic casing housing control electronics which are maintained in contact with a power source by a metal retaining clip. The casing includes an integral cover which may be opened by breaking lines of weakness formed in the cover. The cover and clip are of such relative sizes and shapes so that once the cover is open, the clip may only be removed from the casing by deforming the clip. This deformation will ensure that the clip and other components cannot be replaced back in the casing, such that the device cannot easily be reused. In addition, the cover is not replaceable, due to the broken portions of the casing.

  • Patent number: 9550573
    Abstract: An aircraft cabin (26) has a plurality of seat units (10) including first (10) and second (12) seat units in a first row (22) and a third seat unit (14) in a second row (24). The first and second seat units (10, 12) are separated by an aisle (38). The seats all face in the same direction (31), said direction (31) being inclined to the longitudinal axis (30) by a seat offset angle (S?), and are configurable between a bed mode and a seat mode. A console (20a) of the first seat unit (10) is directly adjacent to the aisle (38) and accommodates a foot-well (40) for use by a passenger in the seat (18c) of the third seat unit (14). At least a part of the console (20a) of the first seat unit (10), in a region no higher than a first distance from the floor, extends further into the aisle (38) than the rest of the first seat unit (10) in a region higher than the first distance from the floor.

  • Patent number: 9382007
    Abstract: An aircraft seat arrangement includes first and second seats and first and second consoles, the first console being in front of the first seat and adjacent to the second seat, such that the first and second consoles and the first and second seats are in a staggered arrangement. A table is housed by the first console. The table is arranged for movement to a stowed position, in which the table is inserted within said first console. The table is arranged for, optionally horizontal, movement to a deployed position, in which the table is positioned aft of the first console so as to be suitable for use by a passenger seated in the first seat. The table may be arranged to present different areas of useable table surface.

  • Patent number: 9315270
    Abstract: A passenger seating arrangement in an aircraft cabin, comprising a plurality of pairs of seat units, the pairs of seat units being located directly behind one another, and each seat unit having a longitudinal axis. Each pair of seat units comprises an aisle-seat unit and a non-aisle-seat unit. The longitudinal axes of the non-aisle-seat units are arranged in-line with one another, and the longitudinal axis of the aisle-seat unit of each pair of seat units is angled so as to provide a passenger access path linking the non-aisle-seat unit of a pair, with the aisle.
