Abstract: A locking assembly of a lavatory door in an aircraft, comprising: a locking mechanism; and an occupancy indicator. The occupancy indicator is configured with a display that enables viewing of a status of the lavatory of availability or is occupancy. The position of the locking mechanism and occupancy indicator has been changed from a higher location on the lavatory door that approximates a line-of-sight from a standing position at the lavatory door to a lower location that approximates the line-of-sight from a seated position at the lavatory door. The display of the occupancy indicator is configured with a plurality of display angles to display the status comprising at least a first display angle to allow viewing from the line-of-sight in the standing position and at a second display angle to allow viewing from the line-of-sight in a seated lower position at the lavatory door.

Abstract: An ink composition applicable by drop-on-demand ink-jet technology of the type which, without altering the decoration or the surface of the ceramic tile glaze, simultaneously provides bactericidal and antiviral action when subjected to a firing cycle at a maximum temperature between 950° C. and 1,300° C., and which has silver nanoparticles functionalised with at least one silane.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to pretreating a magnetic recording head. For a HAMR head, a NFT is present. Current can be applied to the NFT to condition the NFT. The current is applied in one of three ways: slowly ramping up the current from a starting level below a level capable of writing data to the optical laser current over a predetermined period of time, applying the current at a fixed value below the optical laser current for the predetermined period of time, or slowly ramping up the current from a starting level below a level capable of writing data to the optical laser current over the predetermined period of time while also intermittently removing the current. By conditioning the NFT in such a manner, the HAMR head can avoid thermal shock and thermal fatigue and thus increase the lifetime of the magnetic media drive.

Abstract: The present invention describes a ceramic tile with raised patterns and a method for producing raised patterns on a ceramic tile that comprises printing one ink followed by printing a second ink characterised by being insoluble in the previous ink, so as to form a raised pattern with a height of 50 micrometres to 500 micrometres. Finally, the ceramic tile is fired at a maximum temperature of 850° C. to 1300° C.

Abstract: An armrest assembly for a passenger seat includes a moveable arm including a proximal end and a distal end, a stowed configuration wherein the moveable arm is disposed adjacent and approximately parallel to a seatback of the passenger seat, and a deployed configuration wherein the moveable arm is approximately parallel to a seat pan of the passenger seat. The moveable arm may include a first portion and a second portion. The armrest assembly may include a first rotation axis such that the moveable arm pivots about the first rotation axis when moving between the stowed configuration and the deployed configuration. The armrest assembly may include a second rotation axis such that the second portion pivots about the second rotation axis relative to the first portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a head assembly of a data storage device. The data storage device may include magnetic media embedded in the device or magnetic media from an insertable cassette or cartridge (e.g., in an LTO drive), where the magnetic head assembly reads from and writes to the magnetic media. During drive operation, the magnetic media moves across the magnetic head assembly. The magnetic head assembly is spaced a distance from the magnetic media such that non-contact recording occurs between the magnetic head assembly and the magnetic media. The magnetic media is supported by either a back plate or an air film generated by one or more fillet edges of the back plate and the velocity of the magnetic media as the magnetic media moves across the magnetic head assembly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a water-based ink composition for drop-on-demand (DoD) printing technology, which is intended for glazing and decorating ceramic products and provides colour or ceramic effects on ceramic supports once it has been fired at temperatures between 850° C. and 1280° C.

Abstract: Described are passenger seats (102) having a seat bottom (122) connected to the seat frame (108) at a hinge (130) at an aft portion of the seat bottom (122), and having a release mechanism (132) operably connected with the seat bottom (122) that, when actuated by a user, cause the seat bottom (122) to be released from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration, whereby the seat bottom (122) is free to rotate downward, independent of a seat back (142), about the hinge (130) to a tilted position in order to increase a range of available angles between the seat bottom (122) and seat back (130).

Abstract: A passenger seat back can include a rearward surface, a tray table (106) deployable away from the rearward surface of the seat back, and a shelf (108) independent from the tray table (106). The shelf (108) can include a support surface (110) and at least one pivot (116) pivotally coupling the support surface (110) to the rearward surface of the seat back. For example, the support surface (110) may support a passenger's personal entertainment device or other item at a variety of viewing orientations and apart from the tray table (106).

In the deployed configuration, the center panel is approximately aligned with a seatback (11) of the passenger seat and the at least one side panel (103, 104) extends forward from the center panel (101) beyond a seating surface of the passenger seat. In the deployed configuration, the at least one side panel (103, 104) is disposed adjacent to a headrest (15) of the passenger seat.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a head assembly in a data storage device. The data storage device may include magnetic media embedded in the device or magnetic media from an insertable cassette or cartridge (e.g., in an LTO drive), where the head assembly reads from and writes to the magnetic media. During device operation, the magnetic media moves across the head assembly. The magnetic media experiences higher contact stress at certain points or portions of the head assembly. A sensor guard is coupled to the head assembly. The sensor guard comprises at least one chamfered surface or at least one stepped surface to decrease the contact stress between the magnetic media and the head assembly during device operation. The at least one chamfered or stepped surface may be disposed on a leading edge of the sensor guard.
