The housing is formed by two frame parts arranged lateral to the tray, which frame parts are connected to each other by means of cross-braces, and the fastening devices and the suspension device for the passenger service unit and at least one stop element for limiting the open position of the tray are arranged on the frame parts.

An oxygen supply system includes a container housing having a container door, a latch controller coupled to a latch of the container door and configured to control the latch to releasably open the container door, a microcontroller coupled to the latch controller and configured to output a first latch deployment signal to the latch controller to cause the latch controller to open the latch, a pressure sensor coupled to the latch controller and configured to output a second latch deployment signal to the latch controller to cause the latch controller to open the latch, and an energy storage coupled to the microcontroller and the pressure sensor and configured to supply the microcontroller and the pressure sensor with electrical energy. The microcontroller includes built-in test equipment (BITE) configured to monitor and test the operability of one or more of the microcontroller, the latch controller, the pressure sensor and the energy storage.

A side console for an aircraft cockpit includes a structure for mounting of an item of aircraft equipment and a complementary structure. The mounting structure and the complementary structure are formed of single-piece components articulated about an axis of articulation between a storage position in which the single-piece components are more or less folded against one another, and a position of installation in which the single-piece components extend respectively in substantially mutually perpendicular planes.

Locking device comprising: a support, a first locking member and a second locking member, the first locking member being mounted on the support and configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position, an intermediate member movable between a retaining position and a release position, the intermediate member in the retaining position retaining the first locking member in the locked position, and a shape-memory member, the shape-memory member being connected to the intermediate member and configured to move the intermediate member to the release position when the shape-memory member is activated.

An aircraft power management system includes an electrical power supply input configured to be coupled to an electrical power supply, a first power supply bus bar coupled to the power supply input, at least one primary electrical equipment including a primary load coupled in parallel to the first power supply bus bar, a bus bar switch configured to selectively deactivate the first power supply bus bar downstream of the at least one primary electrical equipment, a load monitoring device configured to monitor the power demand of the primary load and to output a deactivation signal to the bus bar switch for selectively deactivating the first power supply bus bar, if the monitored power demand of the primary load exceeds a primary threshold, and at least one tertiary electrical equipment including a tertiary load coupled to the first power supply bus bar downstream of the at least one primary electrical equipment.

A case including: a vessel, a cover mounted to be moved in rotation on the vessel via a hinge system which has a hinge axis and at least one hinge, wherein each hinge has a first portion which is fixedly joined to the vessel, a second portion) which is fixedly joined to the cover and a connector which assumes alternately an operating position in which the connector ensures the connection between the second portion and the first portion to allow for rotation of the second portion relative to the first portion about the hinge axis and, alternatively, a safety position in which the connector dissociates the second portion and the first portion.

An oxygen supply system providing an adequate oxygen supply mode in an aircraft. A preventive oxygen supply system includes an oxygen source, a preventive oxygen dispensing unit connectable to the oxygen source, a cabin altitude detection device, and a preventive oxygen control device provide at least the following modes: a pre-wear mode providing no oxygen of the oxygen source to the preventive oxygen dispensing unit but normal cabin air; a pre-oxygenation mode providing a predetermined rate of oxygen of the oxygen source to the preventive oxygen dispensing unit sufficient for generating a pre-oxygenation condition of the user; and a decompression mode providing high concentrated oxygen of the oxygen source to the preventive oxygen dispensing unit sufficient for ensuring a minimum oxygenation of the user. The preventive oxygen control device automatically switches to the decompression mode in case a predetermined cabin altitude threshold is detected by the cabin altitude detection device.
