Abstract: An aircraft seat includes an actuator and a movement transmission device. The movement transmission device includes a frame having at least one bearing face and one braking face; a drive body configured to being rotated relative to the frame, the drive body having a bearing face and a braking face; and an elastic element suitable for keeping the braking face of the drive body at a defined distance from the braking face of the frame, the elastic element having a determined stiffness and being prestressed such that, when an axial load greater than a threshold load is applied to the drive body, the braking face of the drive body comes into contact with the at least one braking face of the frame.

Abstract: A method is provided for extracting liquid from a liquid dispenser The dispenser includes a liquid container and, connected to the container, a liquid dispensing device is able to take up liquid from the container and convey it along a path as far as at least one liquid outlet so as to dispense this liquid to the outside. The method includes a step of injecting a volume of extraction gas under pressure into the container so as to apply pressure to the liquid of the container in order to cause it to flow along at least part of the device and allow a predetermined quantity of liquid to be extracted from the dispenser.

Abstract: A method for extracting liquid from a liquid dispenser (10), the dispenser including a liquid container (12) and, connected to the container, a liquid dispensing device (14) which is able to take up liquid from the container and convey it along a path as far as at least one liquid outlet (29a) so as to dispense this liquid to the outside, the method including a step of injecting a volume of extraction gas under pressure into the container so as to apply pressure to the liquid of the container in order to cause it to flow along at least part of the device and allow a predetermined quantity of liquid to be extracted from the dispenser.

Abstract: The invention relates to a network of switched optical fiber for airplane seats. The network connects the screens of the seats to each other and to a server via an optical fiber. The network includes optical switches of the MEMS type including mirrors, said switches being provided perpendicular to each seat. Each switch delivers the light beam in the optical fiber to the screen with which it is connected and re-amplifies it in the optical fiber when it is powered, while the switch directly delivers the light beam to the following seat when it is not powered.
