Abstract: A wall assembly for a passenger cabin such as an aircraft passenger suite. The assembly includes a first fixed wall, a second fixed wall positioned relative to the first fixed wall to define an interior space, an entrance formed between the first fixed wall and the second fixed wall for accessing the interior space, and a movable wall section movably mounted to the first fixed wall. In use, the movable wall section is movable between a first position in the entrance and a second position in the interior space, wherein motion includes at least rotational and vertical motion components. In a particular use case, the wall portion is temporarily movable to expand the entrance to facilitate reduced mobility passenger access into the interior space.

Abstract: A cable tie includes a band that extends lengthwise from a first end to a second end. The cable tie also includes a housing, affixed near the second end, with a first opening to receive the first end of the band when the first end of the band is brought toward the housing in a loop. The housing includes: walls that enclose a space and have a stop toward the second end of the band; a first mass in the space; and a second mass placed in the space and between the first mass and the stop. When the first end is inserted into the housing, the first end passes under the first mass and the second mass and exerts a pull on the first mass toward the second mass. When the first mass is pulled toward the second mass, the second mass acts as a spring between the first mass and the stop and prevents the first mass from hitting the stop.
