COMBINED LUMINAIRE AND AIR CONDITIONING NOZZLE
20200039327 · 2020-02-06 · ·

A combined luminaire and air conditioning nozzle includes a front panel (101) with an opening. A nozzle frame (103) is pivotably connected to the opening of the front panel (101) so as to separate an air cavity (105) located behind the front panel (101) from a front side of the front panel (101). The structure includes a controller element (106) with a closing mechanism mechanically coupled thereto and arranged to adjustably limit an air passage (107) from the air cavity (105) to the front side of the front panel (101) in response to a movement of the controller element (106). A luminaire element (108) forms part of the closing mechanism and is provided with a light source arranged to output light to the front side of the front panel (101). The closing mechanism is arranged to convert a movement of the controller element (106) into a movement of the luminaire element (108), so that said adjustable limiting of the air passage (107) occurs as a result of said movement of the luminaire element (108).

Reactive LED Illuminated Wireless Charging Surface
20200036205 · 2020-01-30 ·

A reactive illuminated wireless charging surface incorporated into a seating module or worksurface aboard an aircraft or other mobile platform has a translucent exterior surface beneath which a wireless charging device may be positioned and over which a PED may be placed for charging. The illuminated wireless charging surface may incorporate arrays or strips of individually addressable light emitting diodes (LED) or other like luminous devices set into flexible printed control boards (PCB) beneath the exterior surface. The illuminated wireless charging surface may have a display controller for driving the LED arrays in practical or aesthetically appealing ways to provide dynamic visual indication of a charging status, e.g., by adjusting individual LEDs or groups thereof to shift in color or intensity according to predetermined or preprogrammed patterns.

Aircraft air duct system for providing light, data, electrical power, and sanitized air
11926423 · 2024-03-12 · ·

An air duct system for an aircraft provides passengers with light, data, electrical power, and sanitized air. The air duct system includes an air duct having a main body and a visible light source configured to generate visible light, where the visible light is modulated by one or more controllers based on a visible light communication protocol. The air duct system simultaneously achieves four functions for improving passengers' flying experience. First, a portion of the visible light transmitted by the air duct illuminates the interior cabin of the aircraft. Second, by modulating the visible light, the air duct system transmits and distributes data that is received by the passengers' electronic devices. Third, a portion of the visible light is converted into electrical power at each passenger seat to power passengers' electronic devices. Fourth, in embodiments, the visible light is emitted at a germicidal wavelength spectrum to create sanitized air.
