Abstract: A rail for the fastening of equipment elements, such as, in particular, seats, in aircraft, includes a holding region for connection to an equipment element of an aircraft, and a support region to fasten the rail to a carrier element of the aircraft. The rail has a metallic shell which is, for example, made of titanium and which is filled with a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filler material which is reinforced by short fibers. To produce the rail, a metallic molded part is used as a casting mold and is filled, for example by injection, with the filler material and, after the rail has been produced, forms the metallic shell for the filler material.

Abstract: A system for contactless energy transmission includes a transformer formed by a primary winding and a secondary winding, which transformer is designed so as to be resonant as a result of capacitors. By measuring and comparing electrical state variables on the primary side and on the secondary side the efficiency of the transmission of electrical power from the primary side to the secondary side is determined, and by varying the resonance frequency of the transformer or of the frequency of a primary voltage applied to the primary winding the resonance frequency and the primary voltage frequency are attuned to each other.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a window module for an aircraft or spacecraft, including a window frame which comprises, at least in portions, a current-generating element for generating an electric current.

Abstract: A system for determining a cabin layout in a cabin of a vehicle, includes a system for contactless transfer of power with primary magnetic elements and secondary magnetic elements that each overlap with at least one primary magnetic element. Based on sequentially providing power to primary magnetic elements and measuring at least one electric value in the powered primary magnetic element overlapping states of secondary magnetic elements and primary magnetic elements can be determined. By determining overlapping states for all primary magnetic elements in the cabin the number and positions of all secondary magnetic elements and all vehicle components attached thereto can be collected. The system avoids powering two contiguous primary magnetic elements to prevent a wrong determination of an overlapping state.

Abstract: A system for the contactless transfer of energy and data includes a transfer path with a primary coil and with a secondary coil. The primary control unit is designed to lead data-modulated first alternating-voltage signals of a first frequency range into the primary coil. The secondary control unit is designed to receive the first alternating-voltage signals of the first frequency range from the secondary coil, and to demodulate the modulated-on data. The system further includes a feed-in line for feeding a second alternating-voltage signal of a second frequency range to a primary line leading to a primary coil and an activation line that is connected to a secondary line that is connected to the secondary coil. A first filter filters the second alternating-voltage signal from the secondary line and provides the signal to an activation connection.
