A window roller shade and dimming pane assembly includes a rigid frame having a first side member on a first side and a second side member on a second side opposite the first side. An outer pane and an inner pane are disposed within the rigid frame with a gap between the outer pane and the inner pane. A roller shade includes a motor for rolling and unrolling the roller shade. A first constant force spring and a second constant force spring are each configured to pull the roller shade downwardly through the gap while the motor is unrolling the roller shade. A dimming film is disposed on the inner pane for dimming light through the inner pane. A window interface is operatively coupled to the inner pane for receiving touch input for controlling the dimming film and the roller shade.

An overhead bin in an aircraft includes a liner disposed on an underside of a cabin ceiling and a receptacle that protrudes through an opening in the liner. A bin has a top side with at least one attachment point that includes: a stud mechanically coupled to the top side and a screw disposed within the stud. The stud includes a rounded flange configured to insert into the receptacle for removably securing the bin beneath the liner. An installation method for an overhead bin in an aircraft includes raising the overhead bin to engage the stud with the receptacle, sliding the overhead bin outboard for inserting the stud into the receptacle, and turning a screw within the stud for tightening the stud within the receptacle for securing the overhead bin beneath the ceiling.

A lever exposed on an underside of the armrest is configured for actuating a release mechanism. The release mechanism is configured for releasably securing the inner telescoping member to the outer telescoping member. A pivot axis pivotably couples the extending member to the base member such that the extending member is rotatable for rotating the armrest between a deployed orientation and a retracted orientation.
