Publication number: 20230406541Abstract: An aircraft cabin dismantling and recycling system including: a device (10) for transferring aircraft cabin parts to secondary utilization is provided that includes a data input (12), a data processor (14) and an output interface (16). The data input provides cabin base types from a database and initial equipment installation states of the aircraft cabin from an installation state database. The data processor is configured to identify a cabin base type for a current part of the aircraft cabin; assign an initial equipment installation state of the aircraft cabin; estimate changes of the current part and determine a current parameter; identify implementable transferring options for the current part of the aircraft cabin from a database of transferring options based on the current parameter, and select one of the identified transferring options.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Matthias REISS, Antje TERNO, Thorsten OTTO, Matthias POGGENSEE, Sonja REHSĂ–FT, Axel BECKER, Maite GONZALEZ EIZAGUIRRE, Rafael MORTENSEN ERNITS, Dennis KEISER, Michael FREITAG, Birte PUPKES

Patent number: 11505334Abstract: An installation system for a cabin of a vehicle includes at least one built-in component for installation in the cabin, multiple base elements for arrangement on a structurally fixed component of the vehicle and multiple holding devices that can be connected to the at least one built-in component. The holding devices each include a clamping unit with receiving space defined by at least two clamping members, wherein the receiving space can be moved between an open and a closed state through movement of at least one of the clamping members in the direction of the other clamping member in each case and wherein the clamping unit is configured to move the at least one clamping member by pressing the clamping unit onto a base element when the receiving space is in the open state and thereby closing the receiving space including the base element.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2020Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Inventors: Matthias Hegenbart, Alexander Horn, Marcus Hinrichs, Thorsten Otto, Ingo Roth, Andreas Wietzke

Publication number: 20210397838Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein that allow a user to capture a single image snapshot from video, print, or the world around him or her, and obtain additional information relating to the media itself or items of interest displayed in the snapshot. A fingerprint of the snapshot is used as a query and transmitted to the server. Image Feature-Based Recognition, as described herein, uses a feature index to identify a smaller set of candidate matches from a larger database of images based on the fingerprint. Novel methods and systems using a distance metric and a radical hash table design exploit probabilistic effects and allow distinct image features to be preferred over redundant ones, allowing only the more distinctive data points to remain resident within the index, yielding a lean index that can be quickly used in the identification process.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: Geenee GmbHInventors: Philipp HOLZSCHNEIDER, Thorsten Otto Wolfgang MAGERS, Hannes PRIEHN

Patent number: 10202699Abstract: Fuel cell systems aboard means of transport can be used for generating energy and for producing water. In order to reduce the overall weight of the system, the fuel cell is controlled or regulated in dependence on a current fill level or a limit level of the water tank, as well as a predicted future water consumption. In this way, it may be possible to minimize the water quantity to be stored in the water tank.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2013Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Airbus Operations GmbHInventor: Thorsten Otto
