A monitoring module () for a seat () of a passenger aircraft (), which seat () contains at least one element (-) having at least two states (Z), comprises at least one sensor (-) for the element (-), having state information () corresponding to the current state (Z), a readout unit () having a communication channel () for the state information () to the sensor (-) and a communication interface () for the state information () to a monitoring unit () of the passenger aircraft (). The sensor (-) is a camera or a capacitive seat occupancy sensor. A monitoring device () for a passenger aircraft () contains monitoring modules () and a monitoring unit (), which is configured for at least two of the monitoring modules () together. A passenger aircraft () contains a monitoring module () and/or a monitoring device ().

Monitoring module for a seat of a passenger aircraft, monitoring device and passenger aircraft

An illumination arrangement of a passenger cabin for a passenger aircraft contains a control line with a connected lamp arrangement and operating unit having operating elements for selecting light scenarios of the lamp arrangement by transmitting dedicated control signals of the operating elements from the operating unit to the lamp arrangement via the control line, the lamp arrangement has a first decoder for allocating a sequence of control signals to a prescribed one of the light scenarios, the first decoder has a decoding instruction in a menu structure, the selection of menu elements of the menu structure is effected by the control signals, the illumination arrangement contains an add-on display which is connected to the control line, the add-on display contains a second decoder with the same decoding instruction, according to which a respectively received control signal is assigned a graphic representation of the menu element that is in each case currently selected by the control signals, the graphic representation which is in each case currently recognized is displayed on the add-on display.

Passenger cabin having illumination arrangement

The present invention is directed to a lighting arrangement having a control input for a control variable and having a luminaire as a multicolored luminaire having an input interface for a color variable and a brightness variable contains a control unit having an output interface for the color variable and the brightness variable, wherein the control unit assigns a brightness value and a color value to a received control value on the basis of a mapping rule. The present invention is further directed to a vehicle containing such a lighting device and a method for converting a vehicle having a light control infrastructure for connecting luminaires to a control output for a single control variable involves such a lighting device being connected to the control output.

Actuation of coloured luminaires for the brightness channel

An illumination device () comprising a light source () producing a first cone of light () and a deflection unit () for the beam-shaping conversion of the first cone of light () into a second cone of light () and to emit the latter towards the target area (), the deflection unit () can be varied in order to vary the form (Fa,b) and/or the intensity distribution (Ia,b) in the second cone of light. An illumination system () contains the illumination device () and the target area (). The illumination device () or the illumination system () is used to illuminate a surface of an interior of a vehicle as target area ().

Device, system and method for illuminating a target area

The description covers cabin components for aircraft, which can be produced with a sandwich structure and may have the componentsfor signal and/or power transmission. The cabin components in this case have at least two prepreg layersand, for example, a honeycomb layer, which can be connected to one another by pressing and heating. Furthermore, electrical and/or optical signal paths are shown on cabin components, which can be produced by positioning them there or printing. In addition, according to the description, signal and/or power transmission can take place beyond the boundary of cabin components, by means of a transmitter/receiver path.

Elements for signal and/or power transmission into or to cabin components

A transition from one mixed color to another, the target color locus (Z) in a color system such as e.g. the standard chromaticity diagram (CT), is effected along a stored path (pi) from a succession of color loci which avoids undesired color mixing regions. A change between target color loci (Z) is effected from an instantaneously attained color locus (A) by transition to an adjacent color locus in that path of the stored paths (pi) which leads as closely as possible past the instantaneous color locus (A) and which then avoids undesired color mixing regions on the way to the notified target color locus (Z).

Method for changeover between mixed light colors

A lighting apparatus for a vehicle cab or cabin, having a plurality of reading lights for a plurality of passenger seats. A number of the reading lights is at least equal to the number of passenger seats, and a mean distance between the reading lights is less than a shortest possible distance between the passenger seats.

Lighting apparatus for a vehicle cab

A lighting element with a light emitting device preferably in the form of a light emitting diode, can be fitted in a light carrier. The lighting element has a light-transmissive lens body with a lens-shaped light entry surface and a light exit surface and the light exit surface is smaller than the light entry surface. A starry sky lighting configuration for example in an aircraft cabin, can be implemented with a plurality of such lighting elements.

Lighting element with a light emitting device

A lighting element has a light emitting diode that is installed in a light carrier. The lighting element has a light guide element that is optically coupled to the light emitting diode and the light guide element has a smaller light exit surface than the light emitting diode. With a plurality of such lighting elements it is possible to embody an effect lighting configuration for example in an aircraft cabin.
