  • Patent number: 11858638
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for remote monitoring of an area intended to accommodate at least one passenger of an aeroplane, notably a cargo area provisionally converted into cabin space, including: at least one control member configured to generate at least one signal relating to the safety of the passenger present in the area, and at least one interface means that is situated at a distance from the area and allows the cabin crew to have access to information relating to the area and/or to the passenger present in the area on the basis of the signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11591089
    Abstract: An aircraft cabin includes an upper deck, and a cargo area. The cargo area is configured to accommodate at least one passenger and is situated at a different level than the upper deck. An accessway provides access between the upper deck and the cargo area. The upper deck has, at least locally, a raised floor in the vicinity of the accessway so that at least one part of the cargo area has a ceiling height higher than the ceiling height of the rest of the area cargo.

  • Patent number: 10976824
    Abstract: A reluctance haptic engine for an electronic device includes a core, an attractor, and one or more flexible support members. The core and/or the attractor may be coupled to an input structure, such as a button cap, trackpad cover, touchscreen cover, or the like. In an unactuated configuration, flexible support members maintain a gap between the core and the attractor. An electrical current may be applied to one or more conduction loops of the core to actuate the reluctance haptic engine and provide a haptic output by moving the input structure. The electrical current may cause a magnetic flux that results in a reluctance force that pulls the attractor and the core together and causes the input structure to move (e.g., translate, rotate, oscillate, vibrate, or deform) to produce a haptic output.
