  • Patent number: 12281496
    Abstract: A device for latching a door of an oxygen mask container in an aircraft cabin includes a door for an oxygen mask container having an inner side, outer side and hinge, a first latching device attached to the inner side, and a second latching device movable relative to the first latching device to selectively engage or disengage the second latching device. A retaining element is attachable to a structural part inside the oxygen mask container. A test control device on the inner side of the door includes a movable hook element and can move the hook element to a first or second position. The hook element can engage the retaining element in the first position to restrict an opening degree of the door. The hook element is placed in the second position such that when the door is opened, the hook element is moved past the retaining element.

  • Patent number: 12262740
    Abstract: An inhaler vaporizer cartridge includes a housing body with a flow channel, a liquid storage tank, and a vaporizer unit. The vaporizer unit has a wick member and heating member and is liquid-permeable such that liquid is conveyed from the tank through the vaporizer unit to the flow channel. The housing body has a cavity forming the tank and a wick member receiving chamber, and housing is divided by an intermediate wall and a flow channel section. An access opening from the receiving chamber to the flow channel is formed in the intermediate wall and covered by the heating member. Granular grains in the receiving chamber form the wick member and bear against the heating member. The grains form microchannels and are retained by a cover element. An access opening, covered with a liquid-permeable grid structure, establishes a liquid connection from the tank to receiving chamber in the intermediate wall.

  • Patent number: 12179924
    Abstract: A method for processing previously detected identifications of apparatuses of an aircraft, wherein each apparatus has at least one communicative component. A reference dataset is used to compare the actual identifications with specified identifications, as a result of which a report signal based on the comparison result indicates whether the detected identifications correspond to the identifications represented by the reference dataset. If there is a positive match, this allows the conclusion that the apparatuses are correctly installed in the aircraft.
