Abstract: Trays for tray tables that prevent liquid spilled on a top surface of the trays from spreading over edges of the trays. A casing having a top surface with at least one aperture through the top surface, a receptacle within the casing positioned below the aperture in the top surface configured to receive an absorbent pad that can be removably positioned in the receptacle below the aperture to be in communication with the top surface of the tray. Spilled liquids can be guided toward the aperture in the top surface and absorbed in the absorbent pad within the casing. The absorbent pad may be a superabsorbent material. The top surface can have a superhydrophobic coating.

Abstract: An aircraft motion assessment system and method includes associating a plurality of polling devices within an internal cabin of an aircraft with passenger seats onboard the aircraft, communicatively coupling a motion assessment control unit to the plurality of polling devices, and receiving, by the motion assessment control unit, passenger-input motion effects data from the plurality of polling devices.

Abstract: A method for automatic generation of integration tests from unit tests includes automatically running, by a processor, a unit test for each model of a plurality of models making-up a system. The method also includes automatically determining, by the processor, integration of unit test cases of interfacing models for one or more groups of interfacing models of the plurality of models. The method additionally includes automatically running, by the processor, an integration test for each group of interfacing models using the unit tests for each model of the interfacing models. The method further includes automatically detecting, by the processor, at least one of inconsistent, incomplete or incorrect data transmitted between the interfacing models for each group of interfacing models.

Abstract: A load weight and balance system has first sensors for providing a first output signal proportional to an available internal volume of an associated passenger luggage storage bin. Second sensors provide a second output signal proportional a weight of any luggage in the associated passenger luggage storage bin. Display devices provide a visual indication whether or not each passenger luggage storage bin is filled to capacity. A main display provides a visual indication of the storage status of all of the passenger luggage storage bins. A processor receives the signals from the first sensors and the second sensors, calculates whether or not each of the passenger luggage storage bins is filled to capacity and whether or not each of the passenger luggage storage bins is within a predetermined weight value, and determines whether or not the weight distribution of the passenger luggage storage bins in the aircraft is balanced.
