This invention relates to any field where crafts (such as avionics) where inhabitants of volumes like passage compartments can be found where the area is subject to extreme conditions such as explosion, fire or other traumatic activity linked with a crash, and more specifically a process and method for the protection of inhabitants or passengers in the volume in the craft using a system for the protection of the inhabitants or passengers in the volume using both an anti-trauma apparatus for blast release of a first chemical within the volume for shock protection and for an anti-explosion apparatus for the blast-release of a neutralizing chemical compound within the fuel tank reservoir in a craft to neutralize the inflammability and explosion capacity of the fuel in the tank to avoid detonations and damage to an adjacent volume.

An adaptive belt is attached to a vehicle seat and includes a first section (101), a second section (102), and a third section (103). The adaptive belt includes a retracted configuration and a fully extended configuration. In the retracted configuration, the adaptive belt is folded between the first section and the second section such that a first attachment attaches the first section to a first portion of the second section. In the retracted configuration, the adaptive belt is also folded between the second section and the third section such that a second attachment attaches a second portion of the second section to a first portion of the third section. In the fully extended configuration, all of the attachments fail thereby increasing a length of the adaptive belt. In response to a threshold loading condition, the adaptive belt changes from the retracted configuration to the fully extended configuration.

A hoisting system for hoisting a load relative to a body includes a hoisting cable, a hoisting mechanism selectively operable to deploy and retract the hoisting cable, and a guide mechanism movably mounted to the body at a position between the body and the hoisting cable. The guide mechanism includes at least one locking device that selectively locks the guide mechanism against movement in a first direction.

An electronic module assembly (EMA) for use in controlling one or more personal restraint systems. A programmed processor within the EMA is configured to determine when a personal restraint system associated with each seat in a vehicle should be deployed. In addition, the programmed processor is configured to perform a diagnostic self-test to determine if the EMA and the personal restraint systems are operational. In one embodiment, results of the diagnostic self-test routine are displayed on a display included on the electronic module assembly. In an alternative embodiment, the results of the diagnostic self-test routine are transmitted via a wireless transceiver to a remote device. The remote device can include a wireless interrogator or can be a remote computer system such as a cabin management computer system.

A monument is configured to be positioned within an internal cabin of a vehicle. The monument includes a deployable portion. The deployable portion is configured to move from a non-deployed state into a deployed state when a force that meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold is exerted into the monument wall assembly.

A modal restraint system for an occupant of a seat of an aircraft includes a strap feeder unit and a strap selectively retractable into and extendable from the strap feeder unit. The strap is positionable adjacent to the occupant so as to dispose the occupant between the strap and the seat. The strap feeder unit is adapted to switch between a plurality of modes including an unfixed mode and a fixed mode. The strap is extendable from and retractable into the strap feeder unit in the unfixed mode. The strap is substantially unextendable from the strap feeder unit in the fixed mode. The strap feeder unit is in the unfixed mode by default. The strap feeder unit is operable to switch to the fixed mode in response to a precautionary event, thereby reducing freedom of movement of the occupant relative to the seat of the aircraft.

An aircraft seat backrest with a lifesaving function, including a backrest body and a back plate assembly, wherein a containing cavity is arranged in a front face of the backrest body, the back plate assembly includes a back plate covering the containing cavity and a lifesaving parachute pack that is arranged on a back face of the back plate and contained in the containing cavity, the back plate is fixedly connected with the backrest body through a quick release mechanism in a quickly separable manner, lifesaving straps of the lifesaving parachute pack pass through strap through holes in the back plate, and an occupant leans against the back plate and is connected with the back plate and the lifesaving parachute pack through the lifesaving straps when riding.
