Abstract: Radio frequency energy deposition analysis can include receiving information defining one or more radio frequency sources. Information defining one or more objects interacting with energy from the radio frequency sources may also be received. Ray traces of radio frequency energy from the radio frequency source to the object may be calculated. Ray traces of radio frequency energy reflected off of the object can also be calculated. Finally, the radio frequency energy deposited onto the object from the ray traces can be determined. The deposited energy may be graphically displayed and queried.

Abstract: Apparatus and systems described herein provide for a randomly-accessible electrical busbar with a protective cover and an associated mating connector. Both the busbar and the associated mating connector have multiple, electrically conductive bristles protruding from a surface. The busbar is protected by a nonconductive fabric cover to reduce the risk of a person from accidentally contacting the electrically conductive bristles. A connection is made between the mating connector and the busbar by the bristles of the mating connector penetrating the protective fabric cover and interdigitating with the bristles of the busbar.

Abstract: A seat exercise device for use onboard a mobile platform such as a commercial aircraft is disclosed, wherein a passenger engages the exercise device while seated to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) during extended periods of travel. The preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a leg support secured to a passenger seat and a foot support secured to a lower end of the leg support. A trombone spring is secured between the leg support and the foot support such that a passenger may push down on the foot support to flex and contract thigh muscles. Additionally, a pivot spring is secured between the leg support and the foot support such that a passenger may pivot the foot support to flex and contract calf muscles. Accordingly, the flexing and contracting of leg muscles increases blood circulation and reduces the risk of DVT during long flights.

Abstract: A system for developing a design of an environment such as an aircraft cockpit. A processor generates body models describing a percentage of a body population potentially to be accommodated by the environment. A processor-user interface displays an environment design relative to the body models. The interface accepts user changes to the design and the body models. The processor modifies the design and the body models in accordance with user changes. The system allows a designer of an airplane cockpit to rapidly visualize, analyze and assess its accommodation of a desired percentage of pilots.

Abstract: A seat back cushion assembly for a vehicle is provided. The assembly includes a cushion frame configured to pivotally attach to a seat frame to form a seat assembly. A first seat cushion is rotatably and slidingly attached to the cushion frame and configured to rotate from a first position to a second position and to slide from a second position to a third position such that, in the first position, the first seat cushion is configured to receive an infant and in the second and third positions, to serve as a cushion seat back. A second seat cushion is configured to rotate from a fourth position to cooperate with the first seat cushion to form a seat for receiving a child to a fifth position of the second seat cushion to cooperate with the first cushion in the third position to form a seat back for an adult.
