A seat system includes a base support structure having at least one flat seat support surface, a seat pan support structure movably coupled to the base support structure and having at least one contoured seat support surface, and a back rest support structure movably coupled to the base support structure. The back rest support structure includes a primary frame having at least one flat back support surface, and an articulating frame movably coupled to the primary frame and having at least one contoured back support surface. The seat system also includes a back rest cushion having an occupant-facing back rest surface, and an articulating arrangement of back rest cushion support members movably coupled together to define a bottom surface of the back rest cushion opposing the occupant-facing back rest surface.

Seat system with adaptively adjustable seating surfaces

A sidewall assembly includes a window and a sidewall portion having an inner-facing side and at least partially surrounding the window. The sidewall assembly further includes a transparent display panel coupled to the sidewall portion covering the inner-facing side of the sidewall portion and the window. The sidewall assembly further includes a display controller operatively coupled with the transparent display panel. The sidewall assembly further includes a window shade movable between an open position to allow light to pass between the window and the transparent display panel and a closed position to obstruct light from passing between the window and the transparent display panel. The sidewall assembly further includes a blackout feature disposed between the window and the transparent display panel and a blackout control device configured to control the blackout feature to selectively obstruct light from passing between the window and the transparent display panel.

Window for an aircraft and display for aircraft window

An adjustable bed assembly for a vehicle includes a contoured bed frame, a foundation disposed in the bed frame and coupled to an articulated frame having a support platform with a plurality of sectional support members. A linkage mechanism couples the support platform to the foundation and a drive mechanism operably coupled to the linkage assembly adjusts the position of at least one sectional support member. A mattress is disposed on the support platform and configured to conform with the plurality of sectional support members. A monitor mounted on the bed frame is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A control device has a first preset for concurrently adjusting the articulated frame and moving the monitor.

Adjustable bed for a vehicle

Vehicles and multi-place dining tables for vehicles are provided. In one example, the vehicle includes a vehicle structure having a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a floor disposed therebetween. The vehicle structure at least partially surrounds an interior area that has an aisleway extending therethrough. A multi-place dining table is disposed in the interior area and includes a first table section that is disposed between the first sidewall and the aisleway. The first table section includes a first tabletop. A second table section is disposed between the second sidewall and the aisleway and includes a second tabletop. The second tabletop is movable between a stowed position where the first and second tabletops are spaced apart from each other by at least the aisleway and a deployed position where the second tabletop extends across the aisleway and is coupled to the first tabletop.

Multi-place dining table for a vehicle

A sidewall assembly for an aircraft and an aircraft are provided. In one example, the sidewall assembly includes a window. A sidewall portion has an inner-facing side and at least partially surrounds the window. The sidewall portion and the window have a curved contour. A transparent display panel is coupled to the sidewall portion and covers the inner-facing side of the sidewall portion including the window. The transparent display panel includes a display screen configured to display information to a passenger. The transparent display panel including the display screen have a curved contour that substantially matches the curved contour of the sidewall portion and the window. A display controller is in communication with the transparent display panel to communicate a video/audio signal providing the information to the display screen.

Countertop storage assembly are provided. In one example, a countertop storage assembly includes a countertop having a countertop area outer surface, a countertop area inner surface, and an opening formed therethrough. A retractable storage assembly includes a lid that is disposed in the opening when in a closed position and that moves between the closed position and an open, retracted position. During movement from the closed position to the open, retracted position, the lid moves downward and away from the opening to below the countertop off-set from the opening. A storage area includes a base that is in a retracted position situated below the countertop when the lid is in the closed position. The base moves from the retracted position to a deployed position where the base is disposed in the opening when the lid is in the open, retracted position.

Countertop with retractable storage assembly

Cabinets, methods for making cabinets, and aircraft including cabinets are provided. In one example, a cabinet includes a cabinet body that at least partially surrounds a cabinet space and that defines a cabinet opening that allows access to the cabinet space. A cabinet door at least partially covers the cabinet opening when in a closed position and extends upward from a lower edge portion to an upper edge portion. The cabinet door has an outer exposed surface facing generally in a first direction away from the cabinet space when in the closed position. The cabinet door is operatively coupled to the cabinet body for opening from the closed position to an open position including the lower edge portion moving generally upward and the upper edge portion moving generally upward and towards the first direction to expose the cabinet opening.

Collapsible table for a vehicle

A sidewall assembly for an aircraft and an aircraft are provided. In one example, the sidewall assembly includes a window. A sidewall portion has an inner-facing side and at least partially surrounds the window. A transparent display panel is coupled to the sidewall portion and covers the inner-facing side of the sidewall portion including the window. The transparent display panel includes a display screen configured to display information to a passenger. A display controller is in communication with the transparent display panel to communicate a video/audio signal providing the information to the display screen.

Galley including a retractable bar for a vehicle

Armrest including a seat console

The present application relates to providing auxiliary port function distinction by illuminating a first light emitting diode around a data transfer capable port wherein the first light emitting diode is illuminated in a first color, illuminating a second light emitting diode around a charge only port, receiving a first data connection request at the charge only port, illuminating the first light emitting diode a second color in response to the data connection request, receiving a second data connection request at the data transfer capable port, initiating a data connection handshake between a device connected to the data transfer capable port and a processor in response to the second data connection request, and illuminating the first light emitting diode the second color in response to the initiation of the data connection handshake.

Method and apparatus for auxiliary port function distinction

Interior panels for an interior of a vehicle, vehicles, and methods for making interior panels for an interior of a vehicle are provided. In one example, the interior panel includes a first trim section having a first exposed surface configured to face towards the interior. A second trim section that has a second exposed surface configured to face towards the interior is disposed adjacent to and spaced apart from the first trim section to define a gap. A first lighting array that includes light sources is configured to be disposed proximate the gap hidden from the interior by the second trim section. A controller is configured to be in communication with the first lighting array to independently direct each of the light sources to generate light that passes through the gap into the interior and illuminates the first exposed surface to define an illumination pattern.
