A STOWAGE DEVICE OF EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT FOR AIRCRAFT CREWMEMBER
A stowage device of emergency equipment for aircraft crewmember, the stowage device comprising a housing, the housing extends along a longitudinal direction and has side walls, a back wall and an opening opposite to the back wall, the side walls and the back wall define an internal space adapted to stow a respiratory mask in a stowage position, the side walls extend along the longitudinal direction up to a front edge delimiting the opening. One of the side walls is an adjustable wall. The housing comprises a frame and a movable element. The movable element is mounted on the frame and is movable between a retracted position and a protruding position. The movable element comprises a main movable panel and the adjustable wall includes the main movable panel.

VEHICULAR DIRECTIONAL ALERTING SYSTEM AND METHOD USING HAPTIC ALERTS AND OPTIONAL MULTI-MODAL ALERTS
A system may include a vehicle. The vehicle may include an array of haptic devices. The system may further include at least one processor configured to: determine a location of an object or occurrence relative to the user; based at least on the location of the object or occurrence relative to the user, select at least one haptic device of the array of haptic devices to be driven and function as a directional haptic alert to the user, wherein the directional haptic alert is indicative of a direction from the user toward the object or occurrence; and output at least one command to cause a driving of the selected at least one haptic device, wherein the driving of the selected at least one haptic device is perceivable by the user as the directional haptic alert.
System and method for three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) of an ensemble of pilot equipment and garments
A system comprising a scanner to scan the airman or soldier (subject), a processor to receive, from the scanner, a non-manifold three-dimensional (3D) digital surface model (DSM) scan data representative of the subject, and a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) device. The processor recognizes anatomical features on the 3D surface model including the cephalic (head) region of the scanned subject; stores each sub region defined by anatomical features as a non-manifold 3D surface model; creates a surface offset from the DSM sub region; creates a closed volume within and between the DSM sub region and the offset surface representative of a solid 3D pilot flight equipment; and causes a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) device to manufacture the solid 3D pilot flight equipment.
Systems and methods for interfacing with head worn display systems
A display system includes an interface unit, a head worn display in wireless communication with the interface unit, and a first tracker sensor remote from a head of a user and configured to wirelessly sense a head pose and provide first head tracking data to the interface unit. The interface unit is remote from the head worn display. The display system also includes a second tracker sensor associated with the head of the user and configured to provide second head tracking data associated with the head pose to the head worn display. The interface unit is configured to receive the second head tracking data from the head worn display via at least one wireless link and provide video information for display on the head worn display via the at least one wireless link.

APPARATUS FOR SUPPLYING OXYGEN TO A VEHICLE USER, AND VEHICLE COMPRISING SUCH AN APPARATUS
Apparatus for supplying oxygen to a vehicle user, comprising a source of pressurized respiratory gas containing oxygen-enriched air, a flow-regulating and/or pressure-regulating unit, and at least one mask provided for supplying gas to the respiratory tract of said user, the regulating unit comprising at least one inlet connected to the source and at least one outlet connected to the mask, the regulating unit being configured to regulate the flow and/or the pressure of the respiratory gas supplied to the mask according to the respiratory demand of the user, the apparatus comprising at least one sensor measuring the pressure and/or the flow of respiratory gas delivered by the regulating unit to the mask, and an electronic data storage and processing unit configured to receive the measurements from the at least one sensor and to calculate, from these measurements, the frequency of the gas flows supplied to the mask and corresponding to the respiratory frequency of the user, to compare this calculated frequency against a threshold frequency and, when this calculated frequency is greater than the threshold frequency, to generate an audible and/or visual and/or vibratory warning signal.
