    Abstract: The invention relates to a hinge assembly (1; 1') for pivotably coupling two components in an aircraft or spacecraft cabin, in particular for pivotably attaching a door (107) of an overhead storage compartment (102). The hinge assembly comprises a first hinge part (2) and a second hinge part (3) arranged and coupled so as to be pivotable relative to each other about a hinge axis (A), an elastic element (5) capable of providing an elastic torque about the hinge axis (A), and a torque-adjustment piece (6; 6', 6a', 6b'). The elastic element is coupled to each of the first hinge part and the torque-adjustment piece in a torque-transmitting manner. The hinge assembly includes a positive engagement device (7; 7') configured to be kept positively engaged by elastic action so as to prevent a rotation of the torque-adjustment piece at least in a first direction of rotation (R1), and capable of being disengaged against the elastic action so as to enable a rotation of the torque-adjustment piece in a second direction of rotation (R2) opposite to the first direction of rotation (R1) against a torque provided by the elastic element in order to apply a torsional pre-load to the elastic element.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to A building aperture cover, such as a window (1), comprising
    - a fixation frame (2) and a movable unit (3), wherein the movable unit (3) is configured to be moved relative to the fixation frame (2) between a closed unit position (CPOS) and an open unit position (OPOS),
    - an electric actuator arrangement (8) configured to provide said movement of the movable unit (3) between the closed unit position (CPOS) and the open unit position (OPOS),
    - a handle (5), wherein the handle (5) is attached to a part of the movable unit (3),wherein the handle (5) comprises a gripping part (5a) configured to be grasped by human hand, and
    - a control system (7) comprising one or more hardware processors.
    The handle (5) comprises a user interaction sensor arrangement (6, 6a, 6b) configured to detect physical user interactions (Fl, F2) applied at the gripping part (5a), and provide sensor data (SDA) based thereon, and the control system (7) is configured to receive and process the sensor data (SDA). The control system (7) is configured to provide first control output (OP1) based on said processing of the sensor data (SDA) if the sensor data (SDA) comprises information indicating that a first user interaction comprising a first activation force (Fl) in a first force direction is applied to the gripping part (5a). The control system (7) is configured to provide second control output (OP2) based on said processing of the sensor data (SDA) if the sensor data (SDA) comprises information indicating that a second user interaction comprising a second activation force (F2) in a second force direction is applied to the gripping part (5a). The electric actuator arrangement (8) is configured to apply an opening force (OF) to the movable unit (3) if the first control output (OP1) is provided, and the actuator arrangement (8) is configured to apply a closing force (CF) to the movable unit (3) if the second control output (OP2) is provided.
