  • Contactless operation of lavatory doors
    Patent number: 12234681
    Abstract: A system for contactless operation of an aircraft lavatory door comprises a controller operatively connected to control an actuator for opening and closing a lavatory door. A gesture sensing system is operatively connected to the controller for sending gesture data to the controller indicative of a user gesturing for the actuator to actuate. A mmWave radar sensing system is operatively connected to the controller to indicate user presence. The controller includes machine readable instructions configured to verify gesture input from the gesture sensing system using input from the mmWave radar sensing system before controlling the actuator to open or close the lavatory door.

  • Aircraft smart cabin control
    Patent number: 12179923
    Abstract: A touchless system for an aircraft cabin is disclosed. The system includes machine-readable codes placed on passenger seats and other aircraft surfaces that may be scanned and linked to cabin control systems through an application installed on personal portable electronic devices. The system also includes a communication system linked to the personal portable electronic devices via the application and linked to the cabin control systems that facilitates the control of one or more control systems by the personal portable electronic device. One of the cabin control systems is configured as an overhead storage container configured with a gesture sensing system, allowing the storage lid to be opened through specific gestures.
