Patent number: 9555891Abstract: An aircraft passenger seat assembly as described herein is formed from two primary and modular components: a structural frame that provides passenger support and dynamic load paths for the seat assembly; and a comfort frame that provides the passenger seating surface and the external upholstery layer for the seat assembly. If the seat assembly is designed for multiple passengers, then a separate comfort frame is used for each passenger seat location. The structural frame can be formed as a molded composite construction, and the comfort frame can also utilize a molded composite support frame. The support frame is used as a mounting shell for a fabric carrier that includes the external upholstery layer. The modular design and use of composite materials results in a significant weight and parts count savings relative to conventional seat designs.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2011Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: James A. Fullerton, Scott E. Coburn, R. Klaus Brauer, Blake Emery, Sebastian Petry, Jeffrey Bernett, Don Chadwick, David Wykes

Publication number: 20160074234Abstract: Radial compression may utilize a shape memory alloy. The shape-memory alloy may comprise nickel titanium. A compressive force may be applied to a body part of an animal. For example, the device may be utilized to provide a compressive force to a limb of a human. The device may be utilized to provide compressive therapy to treat patients that suffer from, for example, chronic venous insufficiency or neuromuscular disorders, for recreational massage, or the like. Wires comprising a shape-memory alloy may be wound around an object. The wires may be individually, electrically controlled to provided radial compression. Radial compression utilizing a shape memory alloy concurrently may provide compressive force and thermal energy to an object.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2014Publication date: March 17, 2016Applicant: Drexel UniversityInventors: Pramod ABICHANDANI, Eric DYKE, William MCINTYRE, David WYKES
