Abstract: An integral avionics bay module. The module has a structure that has an integral cabin floor on top that closes the structure. Installing such an integral avionics bay structure in a single operation inside a primary fuselage structure considerably reduces the integration time on the final assembly line for the aircraft.

Abstract: An aircraft front portion in which the landing gear storage bay is arranged under a cockpit floor. The landing gear bay is mechanically connected to the fuselage frames of the aircraft front portion in order to perform the function of taking up the mechanical forces acting on the fuselage frames under the effect of pressurization. The cockpit floor is thus simplified since it serves solely as a plane for the crew to walk on and it can be lowered so as to release space in the cockpit.

Abstract: A cockpit for an aircraft nose, the cockpit having a floor that acts solely as a floor for the crew to walk on and that is lower than the height of the cabin floor situated behind the cockpit. The cockpit also has a stair connected to the floor in order to enter and leave the cockpit. This arrangement enlarges the volume of the cockpit and enables equipment to be housed therein that previously used to be housed in the zone that is difficult to access that is situated under the cockpit and that also contains the bay for storing landing gear.

Abstract: An aircraft nose comprising a primary fuselage structure, and housed inside said structure, a cockpit, and an avionics bay containing a plurality of avionics racks designed to receive electrical and/or electronic equipment. The cockpit and the avionics bay are each made in the form of a distinct module that is suitable for being installed in a single operation inside the primary fuselage structure. The use of modules for integrating in the aircraft nose makes it possible to reduce considerably the time required for fitting out the nose on the final assembly line of the aircraft.

Abstract: An air extraction unit taking the form of a body, the geometric shape of which makes it easier to incorporate into an avionics bay of an aircraft. The air extraction unit derives from a multipurpose approach to the operational components of the avionics bay of an aircraft aimed at achieving weight and cost savings. All of the elements of the air extraction circuit are arranged in a compact housing of the body and are protected by the structure thereof. The air extraction unit can be used as a floor of an avionics bay that can be walked on, with a lateral organization.

Abstract: A toilet area for an aircraft cabin comprising an access door and housing a toilet bowl. The toilet area also comprises an evacuation exit, the access door occupying a closed position in the toilet area in a toilet configuration and a folded position in the toilet area in an evacuation configuration. Usage in particular in a flying wing aircraft is provided.

Abstract: A method for installing a wiring harness in an aircraft. The method comprises using cables having first ends secured to the harness and winding means onto each of which is wound one of said cables so as to lift up said harness by exerting a tensile force. The first ends of the cables are distributed along at least a section of the harness so as to distribute the tensile forces over the section.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for limiting the throughput of a communication in a meshed network, comprising the following steps: allocating fixed paths to communications likely to be established on the network; identifying the communications likely to take a mesh segment; allocating respective throughput quotas to the identified communications such that the sum of these quotas is less than or equal to a nominal throughput of said segment; and measuring the throughput of each communication at the input of the network and suspending the communication when its quota is reached.

Abstract: An aircraft includes at least one wall delimiting a first zone (I) of the aircraft which is thermally insulated from the outside of the aircraft and a second zone (E) contained within the aircraft which is not thermally insulated with respect to the outside of the aircraft and a heat exchanger inside which a heat transfer fluid circulates, wherein the wall includes at least one duct inside which the heat transfer fluid circulates so as to act as a heat exchanger.

Abstract: According to the invention, fresh air at the turboprop outlet is captured and mixed with the warm airflow created by said turboprop to lower the temperature, via a device having a tubular sleeve able to slide into the tubular duct while hot gases flow therethrough and which can switch from an inner position to a projecting position.

Abstract: A device and a method for a peritoneal dialysis treatment having several cycles include a cycler controlled by a processor. The cycler fills the abdominal cavity with dialysis fluid, and drains the abdominal cavity. A sensor senses a variable related to the draining of the dialysis fluid. The draining is interrupted when the variable reaches a breakpoint at which the variable is radically changed, thereby leaving the residual volume of fluid.

Abstract: An integrated avionics bay in a floor area can be provided with adequate ventilation. The structure of an aircraft cockpit floor is able to integrate at least one bay, with a walking floor in the cockpit, a structural volume and a bay integrated in a space of the liberated structural volume. The bay as integrated in a horizontal position in this space includes a peripheral frame with at least one protective cover with a direct access to the bay at the floor level and a lower wall with a rear face access. Side openings formed in the frame can couple with vertical walls to allow fresh air blowing from the rear wall of the bay via a flow from rearwards to upwards to reach the top cover and an air extraction by an upper surface extractor.
