  • Patent number: 10822088
    Abstract: A unified passenger service unit (PSU) control concentrically incorporates a reading light, a gasper outlet, and a notification ring within a control knob rotatable or pushable (via a pushbutton or the control knob itself) by an occupant of the aircraft seat to which the PSU control corresponds. The notification ring may be activated by the passenger or by the cabin crew, and may be visible throughout the aircraft. The notification rings may indicate an attendant call, or be activated by the crew in groups or waves to direct passenger activity. The PSU control includes a user interface (UI) display that serves as a control interface for the gasper outlet and reading light. The UI display may also show indicators or messages sent by the cabin crew.

  • Publication number: 20190208739
    Abstract: A system may include an aircraft passenger seat implemented in an aircraft and an aircraft passenger computing device implemented in, on, or in proximity to the aircraft passenger seat. The aircraft passenger computing device may be communicatively coupled to an animal crate assembly onboard the aircraft. The aircraft passenger computing device may include an aircraft passenger display viewable by a passenger and a processor communicatively coupled to the aircraft passenger display. The processor may be configured to: receive sensor data from a sensor implemented in or on the animal crate assembly; receive captured animal crate assembly video data from a camera implemented in or on the animal crate assembly; generate graphical data based on the sensor data and the captured animal crate assembly video data; and output the graphical data to the aircraft passenger display for presentation to the passenger.

  • Patent number: 10189406
    Abstract: A storage bin space utilization detection and display system for use with a storage bin for storing one or more objects, including: a plurality of sensors disposed within an interior portion of the storage bin, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is associated with one of a plurality of regions defined within the interior portion of the storage bin, wherein each of the plurality of sensors is operable for detecting a presence/absence of the one or more objects within the associated region defined within the interior portion of the storage bin; and a visual indicator device operable for indicating the detected presence/absence of the one or more objects within the associated region defined within the interior portion of the storage bin to an individual outside of the storage bin.
