  • Patent number: 11334452
    Abstract: A tool for performing remote part reseat actions. Responsive to receiving a request for a scheduled operation, the tool generates an operation table in a push file. Responsive to a determination that there is at least one redundant component for the scheduled operation, the tool identifies the at least one redundant component. The tool determines one or more tolerable errors for the at least one redundant component. The tool appends the at least one redundant component and the one or more tolerable errors to the operation table in the push file. The tool schedules the push file to prescribe one or more recovery operations for the scheduled operation.

  • Patent number: 11099876
    Abstract: An aspect of the invention is a method that includes receiving a request from a requestor to reclaim a portion of a memory assigned to a virtual machine (VM). The memory includes real memory that is divided into a plurality of increments. An amount of paging space that will be occupied by the VM subsequent to reclaiming the portion of the memory is predicted. Based on the predicted amount of paging space exceeding a threshold, the requestor is notified that the portion of the memory cannot be reclaimed. Based on the predicted amount of paging space not exceeding the threshold, a reclamation of the portion of the memory is initiated. The reclamation includes vacating an increment of the plurality of increments and removing an assignment of the increment to the VM.

  • Patent number: 9259864
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for producing a part comprising at least one layer of fiber-reinforced composite material. Said method encompasses at least the following steps: a) the at least one layer of polymerizable fiber-reinforced composite material is arranged in a shape that has a base and a plurality of elevations; b) at least one mold is placed so as to be in contact with at least one elevation, said mold having a microwave-sensitive material at least on one contact surface towards the at least one elevation; c) the at least one elevation is polymerized by irradiating the at least one mold with microwaves. The mold used has a stable three-dimensional shape and has a contact surface for the part. At least the contact surface is made of microwave-sensitive material.

  • Patent number: 8916016
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a component comprising at least one layer having a fiber-reinforced composite material that absorbs microwaves is disclosed. The method comprises at least the following steps: a) arranging the at least one layer in a shape, b) treating a first surface section of the at least one layer with microwaves, wherein a temperature limiting mechanism of the at least one layer cooperate with at least one adjacent second surface section, at least part of the time. The method may be carried out in such that steps a) and b) are carried out for a plurality of components and that the components are further treated according to at least the following steps: c) positioning a plurality of components with respect to one another such that each second surface section forms at least one overlapping area at least partially, d) treating the at least one overlapping area with microwaves.

  • Patent number: 8857766
    Abstract: An aircraft including a fuselage that includes a floor extending in the longitudinal plane of the fuselage and separating a first space from a second space accommodated in the fuselage. The first space includes a fuselage portion having a length essentially equal to the width of the floor along the fuselage cross-section, and the distance between the fuselage portion and the floor is essentially constant along the width.

  • Patent number: 8573537
    Abstract: An aircraft sub-assembly including at least one seat and/or rest for a passenger, a separation panel extending along one of the two opposed sides of the at least one seat, with a longitudinal dimension at least equal to that of the at least one seat and a vertical dimension or height higher than that of the at least one seat so as to conceal at least partially a passenger occupying the at least one seat behind the separation panel. The separation panel includes a transverse curve extending perpendicularly to its height and along one of the two opposed sides of the at least one seat.

  • Patent number: 8226031
    Abstract: A rack includes a compartment which has an open face for inserting and removing luggage, a lower face and an end wall opposite the open face. This compartment is mounted such that it can pivot about a fixed pivot axis between an open position in which the open face of the compartment is accessible, and a closed position in which the open face of the compartment is retracted. It also includes a door that is pivot-mounted in such a way that this door impedes access to the open face when the compartment is in the closed position and allows free access to this face when the compartment is open. A connection mechanism connects the door and the compartment of the luggage rack in such a way that the pivoting movement of the compartment causes the door to pivot.

  • Patent number: 8011618
    Abstract: A storage device for baggage for an aircraft cabin includes a compartment having a lower face and an upper face, an open face allowing access to the compartment for the depositing and removal of baggage inside same and a back, opposite the open face of the compartment. The lower face of the compartment is substantially plane on the side of the open face and rises up near the back. A groove, the concavity of which is positioned toward the upper face of the compartment, is implemented in the joining zone between the raised portion of the lower face and the back.

  • Patent number: 7883055
    Abstract: A baggage rack includes a compartment having a lower outer face, an upper face, an open face allowing access to the compartment, as well as a back. The rack is mounted pivoting around an axis of pivoting between an open position in which the open face of the compartment is accessible and in which a rear portion of the lower outer face is concealed, and a closed position in which the open face of the compartment is retracted and in which the rear portion of the lower outer face is visible. The rear portion has a cylindrical form including generatrices substantially parallel to the axis of pivoting of the rack, and the distance from the axis of pivoting to the generatrices is increasing from the back of the compartment toward the open face of the latter.
