SEATING SYSTEMS FOR AIRCRAFT AND METHODS OF ARRANGING SEATING SYSTEMS

The seating systems comprise a seat module and a seat track assembly, a seat track, and an electrical distribution system. The electrical distribution system comprises a plurality of track electrical contacts disposed along the seat track. The seat module comprises a base coupler configured to couple with the seat track and a seat module electrical system having a seat electrical contact. The base coupler and the seat track are configured to position the seat electrical contact in connection with the track electrical contact to which the base coupler is coupled. The methods comprise coupling the base coupler to a seat module, which comprises forming a connection between the seat electrical contact and the respective track electrical contact, and providing electricity to the seat module via the electrical connection.

INTERCHANGEABLE END EFFECTOR AND STERILE BARRIER

Systems and methods for changing an end effector are provided. A connecting plate may have a first side, a second side opposite the first side, and a kinematic interface. The kinematic interface may include at least one projection extending from both the first side and the second side. A robot flange may have a first kinematic receiver including at least one recess for receiving a corresponding projection of the at least one projection of the first side. An end effector may have a second kinematic receiver and a locking assembly. The second kinematic receiver may include at least one recess for receiving a corresponding projection of the at least one projection of the second side. The locking assembly may be configured to releasably secure the end effector to the robot flange.

Heated garment communication

A power source for a heated garment. The power source includes a housing, one or more battery cells located within the housing, a user interface positioned on the housing, an electrical interface positioned on the housing for connecting to the heated garment, and a controller located within the housing and including an electronic processor and a memory, the controller coupled to the battery cells, the user interface, and the electrical interface. The controller is configured to communicate with the heated garment and a device. Communicating with a device includes at least one of transmitting the status of the battery cells, receiving heated garment preset temperature information, and receiving desired temperature information. Communicating with the heated garment includes at least one of enabling heated garment components, receiving temperature information, receiving garment type information, and controlling heated zones within the heated garment.
