A seal for sealing an aircraft fuel tank, an aircraft wing rib and stringer sealing assembly, an aircraft wing fuel tank, an aircraft structural wing box, an aircraft wing, and a method of sealing an aperture are disclosed. The seal is for sealing a wing rib to a stringer passing through an aperture in the rib at a variable position in the aperture. The seal includes self-adjustment means to absorb any tolerance when forming the seal, upon the stringer being assembled into the aperture in the rib.

Aircraft fuel tank aperture sealing

Seal plates are typically mounted over stringer-receiving openings in aircraft ribs. A sealing tool for sealing a stringer-receiving opening in an aircraft rib is disclosed. The sealing tool includes a seal member arranged to seal a gap formed by the opening between the stringer and the rib. An intermediate member is configured to be adjustably mounted on the rib. The adjustable member receives and aligns the seal member over the gap.

Seal member arrangements having at least one seal plate are disposed over stringer receiving recesses in ribs of an aircraft. A tool for locating a seal member arrangement over a stringer-receiving recess in a rib of an aircraft assembly. The tool system has a holder configured to hold the seal member arrangement over the recess. A biasing arrangement is configured to act on the holder to bias the seal member arrangement into an aligned position with a stringer received in the recess. A fixing arrangement is configured to act on the seal member arrangement to fix the seal member arrangement in the aligned position. A sealing kit, an aircraft assembly, a method of fixing a seal member arrangement over a stringer-receiving recess in a rib of an aircraft are also disclosed.

A computing device can install and execute a security agent that interacts with a remote security system as part of a detection loop aimed at detecting malicious attacks. The remote security system can receive observed activity patterns from the security agents associated with the computing devices. The remote security system can filter the observed activity patterns to identify 'interesting' activity patterns, or activity patterns presenting indications of an attack, including any cross-machine activity. If a first host device is flagged for further threat analysis based on its filtered activity patterns, and at least one of the filtered activity patterns includes remotely accessing a second host device, then the second host device may also be flagged for further threat analysis.

Cross-machine detection techniques

A wing assembly with at least two ribs is disclosed. Each rib defines a rib plane and has a peripheral edge. A fluid pipe extends through each rib plane and is disposed external to the peripheral edge of each rib. The fluid pipe is coupled to each rib.

An assembly apparatus for forming an interfay joint during manufacture of an aircraft (). The assembly apparatus includes an assembly jig () to hold a first joint component (), and an applicator () configured to apply an uncured layer of shim to the first joint component. The assembly jig locates, subsequent to the uncured layer of shim being applied, a second joint component () in an assembled joint position spaced from the first joint component. As such the uncured layer of shim is compressed between the first and second joint components. A method of forming an interfay joint during manufacture of an aircraft, an interfay joint for an aircraft, an aircraft aerodynamic surface, an aircraft, and a shim layer applicator.

A passenger seat arrangement comprises at least one first seat arranged at a first lower level, and at least one second seat arranged at a second elevated level. Each of the first and the second seats comprises a supporting surface for supporting a passenger which is movable between an upright seating position and a reclined lying position. At least one of the first and the second seats is constructed in such a manner that a movement of its supporting surface from the upright seating position into the reclined lying position results in an increase of a distance between the supporting surface of the first seat and the supporting surface of the second seat.
