Keep-out assembly for an overhead stowage bin assembly and method of closing out a maintenance area above a stowage bin assembly
A keep-out assembly for a stowage bin assembly positioned above at least a portion of one or more seats within a vehicle includes a keep-out lens and a keep-out bracket. The keep-out lens is pellucid and extends between an inner edge and an outer edge. The keep-out lens has a top surface and a bottom surface. The keep-out mounting bracket has a base configured to be mounted to the stowage bin assembly at a top of the stowage bin assembly. The keep-out mounting bracket has a support arm extending from the base. The support arm engages the keep-out lens and supports the bottom surface of the keep-out lens at an elevated position above the stowage bin assembly.
Vehicle window assembly including a shade having an illumination
A window assembly for a vehicle includes a frame, one or more panes secured to the frame, and a shade movably coupled to the frame. The shade is configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position. The shade includes an illuminator that is configured to allow ambient light from outside of the vehicle to pass through and illuminate the illuminator.
LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE CABIN
Apparatus, systems and method for providing cabin lighting within a vehicle cabin are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a non-transient memory, a processor coupled to the non-transient memory and an application stored in the non-transient memory and executable by the processor for determining whether a predetermined cabin condition is satisfied, detecting movement of a passenger within the vehicle cabin and upon detecting movement of the passenger within the cabin and upon determining that the predetermined cabin condition is satisfied, causing cabin lighting within the vehicle cabin to provide cabin illumination that follows the movement of the passenger.
Illuminated Vehicle Panel and Method for Manufacturing an Illuminated Vehicle Panel
A method for manufacturing a panel includes forming a path segment on a surface of a substrate from a photoluminescent material. The method further includes overlaying the path segment with an overlay material. The overlay material is configured to render the path segment substantially invisible under an ambient photopic condition and render the path segment visible under an ambient mesopic or scotopic condition.

Apparatus, system, and method for a stowage bin lighting interface
Example implementations relate to stowage bin lighting interfaces. An example apparatus includes a panel portion, and a set of fasteners configured to couple the panel portion to a stowage bin such that a curvature of the panel portion aligns with a curvature of the exterior of the stowage bin. Each fastener is configured to extend through the stowage bin into a back portion of the panel portion to couple the panel portion to the stowage bin. Aligning the curvature of the panel portion with the curvature of the exterior of the stowage bin enables the stowage bin to open and close when the panel portion is coupled. The apparatus further includes a lighting interface configured to couple between the panel portion and the exterior of the stowage bin at a position that enables the lighting interface to provide illumination through openings in the panel portion and ambient lighting.
Direct LED lighting system and method
A direct lighting system and method is provided that includes a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) secured within a light fixture. The lighting system further includes a diffusive transmissive element adapted to transmit light from the LEDs therethrough and provide diffused light to an area requiring illumination.
