A passenger cabin of a passenger transport vehicle such as an aircraft includes single passenger seats arranged between an aisle and an outside cabin wall. Each seat is tiltably adjustable between an upright seating configuration and a reclined lying configuration, and is rotatable between a forward-facing orientation facing 0 to 18° relative to the cabin longitudinal axis, and an inwardly-turned orientation facing 50 to 600 relative to the longitudinal axis. The forward-facing orientation is for upright seating during take-off and landing. The inwardly-turned orientation provides additional leg room and sufficient space for the reclined lying configuration. The pitch spacing between seats can be minimized, and total seating capacity is high, while providing substantial space and comfort for each passenger. Screening partitions adjacent to the cabin wall and the aisle provide privacy screening and define a personal space allocated to each seat.

A seating arrangement in an aircraft passenger cabin includes rows of seats, one behind another at a prescribed seat pitch. A wider transverse aisle is formed between successive seat rows at a normal exit or an emergency exit. At least one seat row bordering on and facing the transverse aisle is equipped with foldable passenger seats that each have an upwardly tiltable seat bottom and armrests. By tilting up the seat bottom and the armrests, an enlarged width of the transverse aisle is provided in the event of an emergency evacuation. In normal operation, the prescribed transverse aisle width does not need to be maintained, i.e. can be reduced, so the seat bottom and armrests are tilted down into the normal-use position for a passenger to be seated on the seat. Thereby the seat pitch of this seat row can be reduced and the total seating capacity can be increased.

A telescopic seating system generally includes an innermost lower riser assembly and successive outer elevated riser assemblies. Each elevated riser assembly includes a dual deck surface and a telescopic leg assembly. Each elevated riser assembly supports a toothed belt drive system which provides the interface between each adjacent elevated riser assembly and the motive force to extend and retract the riser system. In operation, electric motors of the toothed belt drive system on each elevated riser assembly are driven by a controller to extend and retract the telescopic seating system between a fully extended position, a half-deployed position and a storage position. The half-deployed position utilizes the dual deck surface to provide half the seating capacity of each riser at twice the rise between each seating row to thereby accommodate particular venues.

An airline may offer two procedures for redeeming frequent flier miles for tickets on a specified flight of that airline, with one procedure available to frequent flier program members that do not have transactional cards associated with the frequent flier program, and another redemption procedure available to frequent flier program members that have a transactional card associated with the frequent flier program. Cardmembers have improved award seat availability for frequent flier mile redemption, regardless of their status in the frequent flier program. Cardmembers are provided with last seat availability at a base redemption rate. Thus, cardmembers are not subject to limited award seat capacity controls and restrictions that airline frequent flier programs have in place, and cardmembers do not have to use higher redemption rates for last seat availability.

A table bridge made of sheet steel. The bridge has a metal span that overlaps the tabletops and joins them like a bridge. The bridge butts up to the sides of both tables with a curved wall on the underside of the bridge that is the same diameter as the 36″ round tables. The top surface area overlaps the tops of the tables enough to disperse the downward pressure over a wide enough area to be stable. This bridge can be installed in seconds over two tables and, just as quickly can be removed if two separate tables are needed later. The bridges can be stored on the wall. Another variation allows the bridges to be centered on a table to enlarge that table's surface area and seating capacity. Another variation allows a centered bridge to abut another centered bridge and be joined with side pins.

The invention relates to a method for flexibly scheduling passenger trains in a high-speed rail network under random demand conditions. The method is built on the basis of optimizing a daily road section passenger capacity supply model, takes random variation conditions of passenger flow, limitation of quantity of motor train units put in the high-speed rail network, seating capacity of trains, passenger stranding conditions in stations and the like into consideration and takes the passenger capacity of road sections put into use as a decision variable and the quantity of passengers as a random variable to build a model for flexibly scheduling the passenger trains in the high-speed rail network under the random demand conditions. A flexible passenger train scheduling scheme meeting different passenger demands is obtained by solving the model, thus providing a theoretical reference for a decision maker to schedulethe passenger trains in the high-speed rail network.

A method for optimizing seating capacity at a business establishment using a data processing system. Patrons of the establishment can request reservations using a computing device. Once the request has been made, the system determines whether one or more floor plan configurations have an available table capable of satisfying the request and reservation requirements. If the request can be satisfied, the reservation is confirmed and the table is assigned within the selected floor plan configuration and recorded within the reservation requirements. Walk-in patrons may also request a table. The system will produce floor plan configurations having an available table to accommodate the request in accordance with reservation requirements and business information. Business information includes data received from table activity, kitchen activity, and server activity, as well as patron requirements. The system can also predict a patron's wait time based on floor plan configuration and business information.
