Abstract: A storage system for a plane fuselage including at least one storage unit defining an enclosed cargo storage space. At least one monitoring module is disposed proximate the at least one storage unit. The at least one monitoring module is configured to detect a condition within or proximate the at least one storage unit that includes at least one of a temperature, a fire condition, a water leakage, a gas leakage, a chemical leakage, an explosive condition, or a movement of the at least one storage unit. At least one status communication device is in communication with the at least one monitoring module and is configured to alert a user of the detected condition by the at least one monitoring module.

Abstract: A tray for a seat of a passenger vehicle including: (a) a first article that is at least partially transparent to a wavelength or wavelength range within the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation comprising a first primary surface; and (b) a first display separated from an external environment by the first article, the first display, when activated, at least partially visible through the first article from the external environment. A seat of a passenger vehicle including a seatback and the tray coupled to the seatback. The tray can be manipulable to, from, and between a stowed position and a deployed position. The first display is activated when the tray is in the deployed position. The tray can include a second display that is activated when the tray is in the stowed position to be viewable by a passenger rearward of the seatback to which the tray is coupled.

Abstract: A video signal dropout compensator stores information from at least one incoming television line which is represented by a plurality of samples of combined liminance and chrominance signal components. The samples occur at a rate equal to four times the chrominance subcarrier frequency. When a signal dropout is detected in one or more of the samples, a replacement sample is generated using samples from at least one adjacent television line. The value of the sample on the adjacent line at the horizontal location, corresponding to the dropout sample, is subtracted from the sum of the samples before and after this corresponding location sample. The resultant value gives a dropout replacement sample with proper chrominance phase having a close approximation of the correct luminance value.

Abstract: Apparatus for optically recording and reading information on a disc medium rotating surface. The information is recorded on concentric or spiral tracks continuously or in parts. The information, which can represent, for example, television video, x-ray, or digital data signals, are addressed by codes that identify the track on which the information is recored preceded by the address code. The recording mechanism can record a new track adjacent to the previous track if the disc has been moved between recordings. There are also means for compensating for eccentricity errors introduced by small changes in the radial dimensions of the disc. The spacing between tracks is typically 2.5 microns although the eccentricity errors may exceed the span of ten tracks. Typically, 4,000 tracks per cm can be recorded.
