Abstract: A canopy is configured to be mounted to a passenger seat of a passenger transport vehicle, in particular an aircraft. The canopy is foldable between a retracted storage configuration and an extended operational configuration. In the operational configuration, the canopy forms a hood establishing a passenger's personal space below the canopy. The canopy comprises at least one functional device which is configured for modifying a physical characteristics of the personal space. The at least one functional device in particular includes at least one of a lighting device configured for lighting the personal space and a venting device configured for venting the personal space.

Abstract: An aircraft exterior anti-collision light system includes a plurality of anti-collision lights and a bus, wherein each of the plurality of anti-collision lights is coupled to the bus. Each of the plurality of anti-collision lights comprises at least one light source and is configured to emit a sequence of light flashes (R,W). Each of the plurality of anti-collision lights is configured to carry out an initialization routine in response to an activation command. Each of the plurality of anti-collision lights is configured to transmit an activation status message on the bus, after the initialization routine has been carried out. Each of the plurality of anti-collision lights is configured to listen on the bus for activation status messages and to log activation status messages received on the bus. Each of the plurality of anti-collision lights is configured to set a timing of (R,W) depending on the activation status messages.

Abstract: A system for a machine, in particular an automated production machine, has a large number of proximity sensors. Each proximity sensor has at least one secondary winding that is suitable for drawing power from a medium-frequency magnetic field. At least one primary winding, which is fed from a medium-frequency oscillator, is provided for supplying the proximity sensors with electrical power without using wires. Each proximity sensor is equipped with a transmitting device that emits radio signals, which contain sensor information of interest, to a central receiving device that is connected to a process computer for the machine. A proximity sensor and a primary winding for this purpose are also proposed.
