A slave Bluetooth device establishes first and second connections with first and second master Bluetooth devices, respectively, that each operate in a master mode. The slave Bluetooth device operates in a slave mode when communicating through any of the first and second connections. The slave Bluetooth device communicates connection parameter update request packets containing timeout values to the first and second master Bluetooth devices. The slave Bluetooth device alternates during non-overlapping time slots between at least: 1) monitoring the first connection for traffic transmitted by the first master Bluetooth device while not monitoring the second connection; and 2) monitoring the second connection for traffic transmitted by the second master Bluetooth device while not monitoring the first connection; and controls a rate at which the alternating is performed based on the first timeout value and the second timeout value.

Described is a stowable display apparatus (200) suitable for stowing a display, such as an in-flight entertainment monitor, in a storage module (110) located above a spreader or a seat bottom of a passenger seat (102). The stowable display apparatus can include an arm (228, 236) pivotally coupled to a mounting plate (222) at a pivot point (250) that is located above the spreader or seat bottom and proximate the forward end of the seat (102), thus enabling a display bracket of the arm to pivot upwards and out of an armrest assembly before rotating into a deployed position. The display arm (228, 236) can provide an easy, safe, and low-cost mechanism for stowing and deploying a display. The thin profile of the display arm allows a storage module (110) two inches wide or less to stow both a display and a table surface, each independently deployable and stowable irrespective of the other's position.

The present invention relates to an assembly (1) of seats (2, 3, 2, 3) for airplanes, said assembly (1) comprising at least two rows (4, 4) of pairs of adjacent seats (2, 3; 2, 3), each seat (2; 3; 2; 3) comprising one seatback (5), one sitting portion (6), and an element (7) for the support of the lower limbs, each seat (2; 3; 2; 3) being configured in order to make a reclining movement along a respective recline axis (r.sub.2; r.sub.3; r.sub.2; r.sub.3) between a sitting position, wherein at least said seatback (5) and said sitting portion (6) cooperate in order to form a sitting element, and an extended position, wherein said seatback (5), said sitting portion (6) and said element (7) cooperate in order to form a bed surface, and vice versa, each seat (2; 3; 2; 3) being tilted in respect to the adjacent seat (3; 2; 3; 2) of a first angle (; ) obtained by the intersection of the respective recline axis (r.sub.2, r.sub.3; r.sub.2, r.sub.3) in a convergence point (A; A) arranged rearward said pair of adjacent seats (2, 3; 2, 3), at least a first seat (2; 3) of a first row (4) being separated from the seat (2; 3) of the second row (4) arranged in front to it so that, both when both are in sitting position and when both are in extended position, there is always at least a space (8) between them (2 and 2; 3 and 3) for the passage of a passenger in order to access the adjacent seat (3; 2) to said at least one first seat (2; 3) of said first row (4). The present invention further relates to the arrangement of said assembly (1) of seats (2, 3; 2, 3) within an airplane cabin (100).

A passenger seating apparatus, a passenger seating module for nesting with another passenger seating module in a forward-aft direction, a passenger seating arrangement, an aircraft comprising a passenger seating apparatus and a method of assembling a passenger seating arrangement are disclosed herein. The passenger seating apparatus comprises a seat, a wall comprising a forward-facing side and an aft-facing side, and a display mounted to the aft-facing side of the wall. The display is movable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration, and comprises a first display portion and a second display portion. In the stowed configuration, the first display portion and the second display portion lie in a common plane. In the deployed configuration, the first display portion and the second display portion lie in different planes.

A monitor stowage device for stowing a monitor into a stowage component, the monitor capable of being opened and closed. The monitor stowage device comprises a motor and an opening-closing mechanism. The motor supplies drive force to the opening-closing mechanism to open and close the monitor. The drive force from the motor is transmitted to the opening-closing mechanism, and the opening-closing mechanism changes the state of the monitor from a closed state to an open state, the closed state in which the monitor is stowed in a stowage space of the stowage component such that the long-side direction of the monitor is aligned with a direction substantially perpendicular to the width direction of the stowage section, and the open state being a state in which the monitor is deployed in such a manner that the long-side direction of the monitor is aligned with the lateral direction.

An aircraft seat may include an integrated controller feedback system. The controller feedback system may include a user interface device at least partially embedded within an armrest console of the aircraft seat. The user interface device may include a control panel, one or more buttons, one or more sensors, and/or a controller. The one or more buttons may indicate a controllable feature of the feedback system. The one or more sensors may be aligned with the one or more buttons and may be able to distinguishably detect a user touch from a user press. The controller may be in communication with the one or more sensors. The controller may generate one or more feedback signals in response to a user touch, and/or generate one or more activation signals in response to a user press.

A device is for holding two or more monitors at an operator chair. The device comprises an arm arrangement adapted to be shifted between different horizontal poses. The arm arrangement comprises a support structure, a first rocker arm, a second rocker arm and a third rocker arm that are rotatably attached at separate locations of the support structure via a respective first pivot, second pivot and third pivot. The support structure is adapted to be attached to or in vicinity of the operator chair. The arm arrangement further comprises a connection arrangement between the first rocker arm, the second rocker arm and the third rocker arm.

An aircraft seat device has a table module and a PED holder configured for supporting a PED in an operable position on the table module, wherein the PED holder comprises at least one holding element which is pivotally connected to the table module, wherein

the PED holder comprises a pivot bearing unit, which is configured for pivoting the holding element by more than 180 degrees.

An aircraft galley power and control system is disclosed having a plurality of electrical appliances within a monument, the galley control system including a control panel removed from the electrical appliances that include controls for operating each of the electrical appliances, The galley also includes a galley controller interface for receiving commands from a display screen on the control panel and communicating the commands to the electrical appliances.

A seat includes a chair and a shell surround. The shell partially envelopes the chair and includes, a structural skeleton defining a meshed structure resulting from assembled members determining an overall shape in space of the shell, a set of finishing panels forming a skin covering the skeleton, the finishing panels being fixed to the skeleton to form the interior and exterior faces of the shell, and each finishing panel of the set covers at least one mesh of the meshed structure and bears on some or all of the members of the mesh or meshes that it covers.
