Abstract: A set includes two blocks each of two seats convertible for lying down, wherein the two blocks are arranged with the seats of one block face-to-face with the seats of the other block inside a circumscribed rectangle. Each block includes a first seat and a second seat. The first-seats of the two blocks are arranged along a first diagonal of the circumscribed rectangle and the longitudinal axes of the first seats are oriented so that their directions are close to the first diagonal and the first seats are substantially face-to-face. The distance between the two first seats is such that a foot area of a first seat of a block is superposed when seen from above with a foot area of the first seat of the other block. In the recumbent configuration, the planes to lie down on of the two first seats are at different heights.

Abstract: A seat for a passenger cabin of a vehicle includes a bucket seat (10), the bucket seat including a seat pan (11) and a back rest (12) attached to the seat pan with which it determines a dihedron with a constant angle, integral with a base (20). The bucket seat is mobile, between a sitting position “a,” in which the seat pan (11) is approximately horizontal, and a resting position “r,” in which the back rest (12) is pivoted rearward by an angle  relative to the sitting position “a,” in rotation relative to the base around an axis of rotation (21), approximately fixed relative to the base, located above the seat pan (11) and in front of the back rest (12) when the bucket seat is in the sitting position “a.” The pivoting axis is defined by, for example, the shape of slides on which rollers or shoes travel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a knitting method for a flat knitting machine and a flat knitting machine making it possible to implement the method. The machine comprises a plurality of storage elements (5, 5?) capable of storing at least one stitch, the storage elements or transfer jacks being situated below the bed(s) of the machine and the storage elements being movable relative to the bed(s) of the machine such that each storage element can alternatively receive a stitch supported by a needle (4, 4?), bring a stitch toward a needle (4, 4?), receive a stitch supported by another storage element (5, 5?), and bring a stitch toward another storage element (5, 5?).

Abstract: In a block of two seats side by side which can be converted individually between a chair configuration and a horizontal flat bed configuration, the two seats are arranged and oriented substantially in the same direction, the longitudinal axes of each of the seats in the bed configuration converge towards a point situated behind the seats at a distance such that upper parts of the seat backs and of the head rests are superposed in a head area of the block. The bed planes of the seats of a block are vertically offset and extended by rest surfaces of the foot areas arranged in lateral columns arranged to the sides of the head area in the region of the rear shell of a block situated in front, allowing to reduce the seat pitch without affecting comfort and allowing an improved layout of a cabin for transporting passengers.

Abstract: In a block of seats side by side which can be converted individually between a chair configuration and a horizontal flat bed configuration, and the seats are arranged and oriented substantially in the same direction, the longitudinal axes of two of the seats in the bed configuration converge towards a point situated in front of the seats at a distance such that the foot areas in front of the seats in the bed configuration, where the feet of an occupant of the seat are located in normal use, are superposed. The bed planes of the seats of a block are vertically offset and extended by rest surfaces of the foot areas arranged in a column arranged between the seat backs of the seats of a block situated in front, making it possible to reduce the seat pitch whilst not affecting comfort and allowing an improved cabin layout for transporting passengers.

Abstract: A furniture unit for a vehicle includes a seat having a side that is joined permanently to a couch. The general direction of the couch is angled, forwards of the seat, with respect to the direction in which the seat faces. A squab of the seat and a squab of the couch are located at the same level, in such a way as to form a surface suitable for use as a bed.

Abstract: A method and system for receiving digital content and metadata associated with the digital content. In an embodiment, the method and system inputs publication information associated with the digital content, produces protected digital content, stores the protected digital content, and sends a message including the metadata and the publication information.

Abstract: A system is provided for executing a system call originating in a local computer on a first remote computer connected to the local computer via a network. Communication is established between the local computer and the first remote computer via the network. A syscall server is installed in the first remote computer. A reference address is sent from the first remote computer to the local computer via the network through execution of code by the syscall server. A syscall request is built in the local computer with arguments determined using the reference address received from the first remote computer. The syscall request is sent from the local computer to the first remote computer via the network. The syscall request is copied into a stack of the first remote computer through execution of code by the syscall server. Registers are popped from the syscall request in the stack. Execution of a syscall request is initiated on the first remote computer. The result of the syscall request is pushed onto the stack.

Abstract: A convertible seat, e.g., for an aircraft, including a fixed structure and a mobile structure, including a seat bottom, a seat back, a leg rest and, optionally, a leg rest extension. The different elements of the mobile structure are mechanically connected to each other, and to the fixed structure, to automatically move the mobile structure between a first extreme seat type posture and a second extreme bed type posture, passing through given ergonomically comfortable intermediate postures, using a single control. This control may be a manual control or a motorized control.

Abstract: Furniture unit for a vehicle, especially an aircraft. According to the invention, this furniture unit is noteworthy in that: it comprises a seat (1) and, joined permanently to the side of said seat, a couch (2); the general direction of said couch (2) is angled towards the front of said seat (1) with respect to the direction in which the seat faces; and the squab (3) of said seat (1) and the squab (5) of said couch (2) are located at the same level, in such a way as to form a surface suitable for use as a bed.

Abstract: The seat comprises a fixed structure (10) and a mobile structure (20), including a seat bottom (24), a seat back (22), a leg rest (26) and optionally, a leg rest extension (28). The different elements of the mobile structure (20) are mechanically connected to each other, and to the fixed structure (10), to automatically move the mobile structure (20) between a first extreme seat type posture and a second extreme bed type posture, passing through given ergonomically comfortable intermediate postures, using a single control. This control may be a manual control or a motorised control.

Abstract: In order that the acceleration suffered by the occupant (O) of an aircraft, particularly a rotary-wing aircraft seat in the case of an accident remains below a humanly withstandable limit, no matter what the size of said occupant, a seat is proposed in which a height regulation of the pan or bucket (16), in which the occupant is received, also has the effect of modifying the inclination of the energy absorbers (38). Thus, the vertical component of the retaining force exerted on the pan (16) by said absorbers decreases with the size of the occupant, which leads to the desired result.

Abstract: An arc blowing element comprises two parallel arms and a stem disposed in the neighborhood of a support for a fixed contact, and a deflector coupled to an extremity of that arm which is remote from the contact and to which it is perpendicular, in order to extend up to the arc extinction chamber.
