  • Patent number: 11860882
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for processing search queries using relevance-based search refinement are provided. In response to a search query, search result items are displayed on a search interface along with selectable guidance attributes. The guidance attributes are an identified ranked set of characteristics of items based on historical user interactions of users interacting with the search result items provided in response to the search query. Upon selection of a guidance attribute, a guidance-attribute control having embedded selectable values is displayed. A selection of an embedded value is received to cause execution of an embedded-value search operation. A first embedded-value search operation is executed to identify a subset of the items using the selected value.

  • Patent number: 8403262
    Abstract: An overhead luggage compartment is provided with a mounting for a control unit, having a first, top guide, which is fastened in the overhead luggage compartment. A second, bottom guide extends below and at least substantially parallel to the first guide. The first guide comprises a horizontal, first portion adjoined in an inward direction of the luggage compartment by a second portion, which extends obliquely upwards from the level of the first portion. The first portion of the first guide and the second guide are telescopically extensible in horizontal direction. The second guide is open in the direction of the first guide. A first suspension point is coupled rotatably to the outer end of the extensible portion of the first guide. A second suspension point is disposed inwards of the first suspension point and configured for displaceable engagement with the first portion and the second portion of the first guide.

  • Patent number: 8226032
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for the installation of commercial components in an aircraft that features at least one equipment carrier for accommodating the components, wherein the at least one equipment carrier is arranged between a luggage rack and the skin of the aircraft and held on the aircraft structure such that it can be pivoted between a maintenance position and an installation position. In order to accommodate the commercial components in a space-saving fashion and to simplify the installation and maintenance work, the equipment carrier can be at least partially pivoted into the luggage rack and is accessible in order to perform installation and maintenance work from the luggage rack in the maintenance position.

  • Publication number: 20110127379
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device holder for mounting devices in a vehicle. Said device holder comprises at least one external rack and at least one internal rack. The at least one external rack can be mounted on the vehicle structure and has a storage space that is designed to introduce and releasably attach the at least one internal rack. The internal rack has means for forming at least one compartment that has a variable size in order to introduce and mount at least one device. The device holder according to the invention can be particularly well adjusted to the devices that are to be integrated into the vehicle, can optimally utilize the available space, and can be equipped with user-specific devices in standard racks.
