  • Patent number: 11679881
    Abstract: An arrangement of individual seats for installation in an aeroplane cabin having a first set of two seats and a second set of two seats, each seat having an axis and being convertible between a sitting position and an extended position, said arrangement having a longitudinal axis. The arrangement also includes (i) a first central console having a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions relative to each other and respectively associated with the first seat of the first set and the first seat of the second set and (ii) a second central console having a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions relative to each other and respectively associated with the second seat of the first set and the second seat of the second set.

  • Publication number: 20230049680
    Abstract: An anterior lumbar interbody fusion device comprising a superior component, an inferior component, and a locking mechanism. The superior component bottom side and the inferior component top side oppose each other when these are received in the intervertebral space whereby their external sides abut against the respective vertebra, thereby coupling force between the latter. The components inter-engage with each other whereby they are constrained to move in an anterior-posterior direction relative to each other and resistance is presented to movement relative to each other in each of a direction of separation and a direction orthogonal to the anterior-posterior direction and to the direction of separation.

  • Publication number: 20230038323
    Abstract: An intervertebral fusion device comprises a superior component, an inferior component, and a core component. The superior and inferior components are received between first and second vertebrae whereby a superior component top side of the superior component abuts against the first vertebra, and an inferior component bottom side of the inferior component abuts against the second vertebra. The core component is inserted between the superior and inferior components to determine a height of the intervertebral fusion device. First and second core profiles of the core component cooperate respectively with a first component profile of the superior component and a second component profile of the inferior component during insertion of the core component to guide the core component relative to the superior and inferior components.

  • Patent number: 11498682
    Abstract: An arrangement of individual seats intended to be installed in an aeroplane cabin includes at least one module of two seats disposed opposite one another, said module having a longitudinal elongation direction, characterized in that said arrangement further comprises: a console disposed between the two seats of the module; a screen connected to each seat, each screen being mounted on a screen support; the screen supports being movable between a stowed position and a deployed operating position, in which the screen supports are positioned substantially edge-to-edge and form a partition wall between the two seats located opposite one another.

  • Publication number: 20220339003
    Abstract: An intervertebral fusion device is disclosed. The intervertebral fusion device comprises a superior component (40), an inferior component (60) and a core component (10). The superior component (40) has a superior component top side and a superior component bottom side and is configured to be received in an intervertebral space between first and second vertebrae whereby the superior component top side abuts against the first vertebra. The inferior component (60) has an inferior component top side and an inferior component bottom side and is configured to be received in the intervertebral space whereby the inferior component bottom side abuts against the second vertebra. The superior component bottom side and the inferior component top side oppose each other when the superior and inferior components (40, 60) are received in the intervertebral space.

  • Patent number: 11453501
    Abstract: An arrangement of individual seats intended to be installed in a cabin of an aeroplane includes at least one assembly of two seats turned towards the interior in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the arrangement. An end assembly includes a first seat and a second seat, each seat being convertible between a sitting position and a recumbent position in which the seat defines a bed surface. An intermediate element includes a surface, referred to as the intermediate surface, located in the same plane as the bed surfaces of the first seat and of the second seat, such that the bed surfaces of the first seat and of the second seat as well as the intermediate surface form a common bed surface.

  • Publication number: 20220015919
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an intervertebral fusion device (10) comprising a superior component (20), an inferior component (40), and a core component (80) inserted there between. The intervertebral fusion device further comprises first and second retention mechanisms which resist ejection of the core component from between the superior and inferior components. Each of the first and second retention mechanisms comprises first and second portions. One of the first and second portions is unitary with one of the superior and inferior components. The other of the first and second portions is unitary with the core component. The first and second portions each comprise an inter-engaging formation which are urged in an opposite direction. The first inter-engaging formation is urged to inter-engage with the second inter-engaging formation upon insertion of the core component between the superior and inferior components.

  • Publication number: 20220015921
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an intervertebral fusion device (10) comprising a superior component (12), an inferior component (14) and a core component (16). The superior component (12) and the inferior component (14) are receivable in an intervertebral space between first and second vertebrae with the core component (16) insertable between the superior and inferior components to determine a separation between the superior and inferior components. A bone graft conveying aperture is defined in at least one of a superior component top surface (18) of the superior component and an inferior component bottom surface (20) of the inferior component. The core component defines a bone graft material holding space which is enclosed except at at least one of a core component top surface and core component bottom surface of the core component and a bone graft material delivery opening. The bone graft material delivery opening extends from outside the core component side to the bone graft material holding space.

  • Publication number: 20220015920
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an intervertebral fusion device (10) comprising a superior component (20), an inferior component (40) receivable in an intervertebral space between first and second vertebrae, with the core component (80) insertable between the superior and inferior components to determine a separation between the superior and inferior components. The superior, inferior components and core components comprise respective formations and profiles. The formations (54, 68) present a barrier to separation of the core from one of the inferior and superior components during insertion of the core component. The profiles guide the core component during insertion of the core component while presenting no barrier to separation from each other during its insertion. The components comprise further formations (39, 76) which present a barrier to separation of the components from each other once the core has been fully inserted between the inferior and superior components.
