Abstract: A portable sanitizing method includes moving a cover of a case assembly between an open position that exposes a storage chamber and a closed position; storing a wand assembly including a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp in the storage chamber when not in use; and removing the wand assembly from the storage chamber to disinfect one or more components with UV light emitted by the UV lamp.

Abstract: A portable sanitizing system, comprising a wand assembly including a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. A case assembly includes a cover coupled to a main body. The cover is configured to be moved between an open position that exposes a storage chamber and a closed position. The wand assembly is configured to be stored in the storage chamber when not in use and removed from the storage chamber to disinfect one or more components with UV light emitted by the UV lamp.

Abstract: A portable sanitizing system and method include a wand assembly including a sanitizing head having an ultraviolet (UV) lamp. A container includes an internal chamber. The wand assembly is coupled to the container. One or more component modules are configured to be removably secured within the internal chamber.

Abstract: A thermoforming system and related methods for manufacturing thermoplastic parts, such as interior panels for aircraft, may include a roll-to-roll operation and a forming press having at least one selectively rotatable tool. The rotatable tool, which may include a mold and/or a die, may be multifaceted, such that different faces of the tool have different mold arrangements for different forming characteristics.

Abstract: A cargo handling system is configured to load and unload a cargo container with respect to a cargo holding area of a vehicle. The cargo handling system includes parallel roller tracks extending from a floor. The roller tracks are separated by a clearance space. The roller tracks include rollers that are configured to rotatably support the cargo container. A mobile cargo mover is configured to move within the clearance space. The cargo mover is configured to engage the cargo container to move the cargo container on the roller tracks. The cargo mover is configured to disengage the cargo container to move away from the cargo container.

Abstract: A foot washing system includes a support panel, and a basin including a foot-washing area and a drain that is configured to drain water out of the foot-washing area. The basin is moveably coupled to the support panel. The basin is selectively moveable between a stowed position and a deployed position in relation to the support panel. The deployed position allows for foot washing within the foot-washing area.

Abstract: A decompression panel assembly for use in an aircraft includes a frame including a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the frame defines a grille opening and at least partially defines a flow path opening. The decompression panel assembly also includes a face panel having a first surface retained against the frame second surface such that the face panel at least partially covers the grille opening. A retention mechanism is coupled to the face panel and is configured to retain the face panel against the frame in a closed position.

Abstract: Lighting components for illuminating an aisle portion of a cabin floor of an aircraft, and aircraft and passenger seats for an aircraft including the same are disclosed. Said lighting components are configured to illuminate at least a portion of the aisle, between adjacent passenger seats positioned on either side of the aisle. The lighting components are configured to direct light towards the cabin floor using a specially designed housing and reflector surface that are designed to illuminate objects in the aisle, while minimizing light pollution in the cabin and detection by passengers on board the aircraft. Said lighting components are optionally mounted on one or more passenger seats, and/or may be integrally formed with a passenger seat. Lighting components include a curved reflector surface configured to reflect light from a light source positioned within the housing such that it is directed towards the aisle to create the desired illumination.

Abstract: A decompression panel assembly for use in an aircraft includes a frame including a first surface and an opposing second surface, wherein the frame defines a grille opening and at least partially defines a flow path opening that are each defined between the first and second surfaces. The decompression panel assembly also includes a first panel and a second panel pivotally coupled together at a central hinge. A retention plate is releasably coupled to the first and second panels and is configured to move between a closed position and an open position. The first and second panels at least partially cover the grille opening in a planar position when the retention plate is in the closed position, and the first and second panels move away from the grille opening to a folded position when the retention plate is in the open position.

Abstract: A dolly assembly comprises a base, a plurality of pneumatic cylinders connected to the base, a plurality of wheel assemblies connected to the plurality of pneumatic cylinders, and a pressure relief mechanism.
