  • Patent number: 10136498
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a lighting arrangement having a control input for a control variable and having a luminaire as a multicolored luminaire having an input interface for a color variable and a brightness variable contains a control unit having an output interface for the color variable and the brightness variable, wherein the control unit assigns a brightness value and a color value to a received control value on the basis of a mapping rule. The present invention is further directed to a vehicle containing such a lighting device and a method for converting a vehicle having a light control infrastructure for connecting luminaires to a control output for a single control variable involves such a lighting device being connected to the control output.

  • Patent number: 10011356
    Abstract: An illumination device (6) comprising a light source (8) producing a first cone of light (10) and a deflection unit (12) for the beam-shaping conversion of the first cone of light (10) into a second cone of light (14a,b) and to emit the latter towards the target area (4a,b), the deflection unit (12) can be varied in order to vary the form (Fa,b) and/or the intensity distribution (Ia,b) in the second cone of light. An illumination system (2) contains the illumination device (6) and the target area (4a,b). The illumination device (6) or the illumination system (2) is used to illuminate a surface of an interior of a vehicle as target area (4a,b).

  • Patent number: 8800922
    Abstract: The description covers cabin components for aircraft, which can be produced with a sandwich structure and may have the components 1003 for signal and/or power transmission. The cabin components in this case have at least two prepreg layers 1001, 1005 and, for example, a honeycomb layer 1002, which can be connected to one another by pressing and heating. Furthermore, electrical and/or optical signal paths are shown on cabin components, which can be produced by positioning them there or printing. In addition, according to the description, signal and/or power transmission can take place beyond the boundary of cabin components, by means of a transmitter/receiver path.

  • Patent number: 8644022
    Abstract: An internal device arrangement for a passenger cabin, for example of an aircraft, is provided. The device has an internal device element which is selected from a group including wall paneling, window panel, side panel, ceiling paneling and luggage compartment. The device has an electrical apparatus fitted in or on the internal device element; and at least one line for supplying power to the electrical apparatus. Furthermore, a heat dissipation device in the form of an integral component part of the internal device element, the electrical apparatus and/or the at least one line is provided. Such a heat dissipation device makes it possible to dispense with an additional heat sink for temperature management and thus save installation space and weight.

  • Patent number: 8500065
    Abstract: Corresponding to reducing the number of components that need to be separately installed, in addition to a weight reduction and a reduction in the cable loom volume, improved system reliability is obtained if the loads relating to a seating space in a passenger cabin (12), in particular in an aircraft, are combined on an overhead panel (17) which is connected, via line connections which are now only short, to a spatially associated supply module (19), which is operated in cutouts (20) in a stub frame (13), in order to anchor a hat rack (11) in the fuselage structure (16) of the cabin (12).
