Systems and methods for monitoring passenger activity in an aircraft cabin environment to predict immediate future passenger needs. The systems and methods make use of sensors positioned within an aircraft cabin environment configured to sense condition changes of objects corresponding to predetermined service issues, device(s) usable by the service crew indicating the sensed condition changes, and processing circuitry configured to receive sensor signals and indicate the condition changes through the device(s) such that the service crew is made aware of the condition changes requiring actions to be completed by the service crew to attend to the immediate future passenger needs.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle instrument device including a dial plate, and an illumination casing disposed on the back side of the dial plate. A least the dial plate includes an indicator needle shaft hole. The illumination casing includes a tubular wall which fits the indicator needle shaft hole. The illumination casing is provided with ribs which are longer than a contact length of the tubular wall relative to the dial plate. The dial plate is provided with rib receiving holes to which the ribs are inserted.

A molded part having a front side of the molded part designed as a visible side, comprising a decorative layer having a front side and a rear side opposite the front side, a carrier arranged on the rear side of the decorative layer, and a functional layer arranged on the front side of the decorative layer. The functional layer is or comprises an electrical display element, wherein the electrical display element is designed, in a switched-on operating state, for displaying a surface image and/or for realizing a display function, and/or for realizing an illumination function on the visible side of the molded part, and wherein the electrical display element is at least largely transparent and/or translucent when the operating state is switched off, so that the front side of the decorative layer is visible through the functional layer on the visible side of the molded part.

A system includes a first lead connecting to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a right side of a vehicle, and a first strobing light module having a first microcontroller connected to the first lead and operating a first light capable of strobing operation. A second lead connects to existing vehicle wiring for activating a signal light of a left side of the vehicle, and a second strobing light module having a second microcontroller connects to the second lead and operating a light capable of strobing operation. The first and second microcontrollers are communicatively coupled and each provides a signal to the other when it has detected activation of its respective lead. The first and second microcontrollers both strobe their respective light capable of strobing operation upon receiving the signal from the other and the signal from their own respective lead.

A resin component includes a natural wooden veneer, a light-transmitting ink printed layer, an adhesive layer, and a light-transmitting reinforcement layer. The veneer includes a sparseness portion and a denseness portion of conduits, is 50% or more and 80% or less in light transmittance, and is 0.1 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less in plate thickness. The light-transmitting ink printed layer is formed on a first surface of the veneer, is 2 m or more and 20 m or less in thickness, and contains a pigment or a dye. The adhesive layer is formed on a second surface which is an opposite side of the first surface of the veneer. The reinforcement layer is formed on a surface, which is an opposite side of the veneer, of the adhesive layer.
