  • Patent number: 10754545
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a transportation vehicle are provided. A seat device of the vehicle includes a processor executing instructions out of a memory and a display device for displaying content of a media file of an entertainment system. The display device includes a first segment to display content of the media file, and a second segment with a capacitive layer. The second layer includes an auxiliary control segment with input icons to control media file presentation without displaying any control icons within the first segment while the content is being played, and/or an auxiliary display segment separate from the first segment to display messages without interrupting media file presentation.

  • Patent number: 10393302
    Abstract: A flange fitting for attaching to double wall tubes includes a fitting center port, a plurality of fitting mounts, inner and outer seal surfaces, fluid communication ports, and a connections surface. The fitting center port extends through the fitting for passing a primary fluid flow. The fitting mounts are spaced radially away from the center port for receiving fasteners. The inner and outer seal surfaces are predominantly flat. The fluid communication ports for pass a secondary fluid flow and fluid communication ports extend through the fitting from between the inner and outer seal surfaces to the connection surface between the inner sleeve connection and the outer connection. The connection surface is on a side of the fitting opposing the seal surfaces. The connection surface includes an inner sleeve connection and an outer connection.
