Es wird ein Lager- und Kommissioniersystem (10) offenbart zur hochdichten Lagerung und Bereitstellung von vertikal stapelbaren Lagerbehältern (36) gemäß Kommissionieraufträgen, wobei die Lagerbehälter (36) unterschiedliche Artikel beinhalten, das aufweist: ein Blocklager (14), in welchem eine Vielzahl der Lagerbehälter (36) in Form von Behälterstapeln (38) vertikal übereinander lagerbar sind; und ein Überkopf-Handhabungssystem (12), das ein abgehängtes Transport-Schienengitter (22) und eine Vielzahl (24) von Bots (26) umfasst, wobei die Bots (26) beweglich an das Transport-Schienengitter (22) gekoppelt sind; wobei das Transport-Schienengitter (22) das Blocklager (14) überlappt, so dass jeder der Behälterstapel (38) im Blocklager (14) mit jedem der Bots (26) erreichbar ist, und wobei das Transport-Schienengitter (22) frei schwebend über dem Blocklager (14) angeordnet ist.

A fastener element (10) for the attachment of a clip (40) in relation to a component (C) to which the fastener element (10) is joined, comprising a shaft (12) that extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and has a first shaft end (14) and a second shaft end (16) in the longitudinal direction, the first shaft end (14) being designed to be joined to the component (C), a head (18) having, in the longitudinal direction (L), a first head end (20) and a second head end (22), the first head end (20) being connected to the second shaft end (16) and having a lower face (24) projecting with respect to the shaft (12) transversely to the longitudinal direction (L), the head (18) being designed to be engaged by an elastic retaining arrangement (46) of a clip (40) in a fixing position, and an axial projection (30) which projects in the longitudinal direction (L) with respect to the second head end (22) by a projection height (LP) greater than zero.

In some implementations, a system (320) within a flight deck of an aircraft (310) determines, based on line-of-sight data associated with an aircraft operator stationed within the flight deck of the aircraft, a field of view, FOV, of the aircraft operator. The system determines display configuration information based on a set of one or more visual references derived from the FOV of the aircraft operator. The system updates a projection display component that is positioned within the flight deck and within the FOV of the aircraft operator to display at least visual representation information associated with the set of one or more visual references based on the display configuration information.

An adapter device (16) for attaching a joining head (14) or a component holder (H) to an industrial robot (12), comprising: a first part (50) which is configured to be fixedly attached to a joining head (14) which defines a joining axis (44) or to a component holder (H) for a component (26) which defines a joining axis (44); and a second part (52) which is configured to be fixedly attached to a robot arm (18), wherein the first part (50) and the second part (52) are connected to each other by means of a linear guide (54) so that the first and second parts (50, 52) can be moved relative to each other in a displacement direction (D) which is parallel to the joining axis (44), wherein the first part (50) and the second part (52) are elastically prestressed into a zero-displacement position (Z), and wherein the second part (52), when being moved in the displacement direction (D), is elastically displaced against the first part (50) if the first part (50) is held against movements in the displacement direction (D).

A flight management system of an aircraft may determine that a leg of a lateral trajectory profile, of a flight plan for the aircraft is active. The FMS may determine, based on determining that the leg of the lateral trajectory profile is active, that a distance between the aircraft and an end waypoint associated with the leg satisfies a distance threshold and may therefore perform an update to the lateral trajectory profile so as to lock a bank angle parameter to a particular bank angle value. The FMS may further determine that a transition, which is associated with the end waypoint and another leg of the lateral trajectory profile, is active and may therefore perform an update to the lateral trajectory profile to lock a ground speed parameter to a particular ground speed value.

A barrier for preventing or delaying thermal propagation between battery pack subassemblies (10) and/or for accommodating volume changes of battery pack subassemblies, the barrier comprising: a spacer arrangement (24) arranged between the first and second barrier plates (20,22) in a thickness direction and comprising (i) a first plurality of deformable spacer portions (P1) which are configured to extend between opposing surfaces (21, 23) and provide a first deformation characteristic when the opposing surfaces (21, 23) are moved towards each other, and (ii) a second plurality of deformable spacer portions (P2) which are configured to extend between the opposing surfaces (21, 23) and provide a second deformation characteristic when the opposing surfaces (21, 23) are moved towards each other, wherein the second deformation characteristic is different from the first deformation characteristic.

Methods of performing gap resin infusion are presented. A resin is injected into a resin infusion chamber of a resin infusion mold comprising a first portion and a second portion while maintaining a temperature differential between the first portion and the second portion. An infused preform is formed by forcing the resin into a dry fiber preform located in the resin infusion chamber while maintaining the temperature differential between the first portion and the second portion of the resin infusion mold.
