Abstract: A vehicle passenger seat assembly includes a passenger seat and a rail system. The passenger seat includes a seat base and a seat back connected to the seat base. The passenger seat is movable between a seated condition for accommodating a seated passenger and non-seated condition where the passenger seat is tilted forward in a front-rear direction of the vehicle about a forward end portion of the seat base. The rail system is mounted to the seat base and configured to have mounted thereto a child car seat. The rail system is configured to move the child car seat along a lateral direction of the passenger seat between at least two seating locations defined by the passenger seat. The rail system is movable independent of the passenger seat to a forward tilted position to allow for movement of the passenger seat between the seated condition and the non-seated condition.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method (400) for determining a clock frequency offset between a first device having a first clock and at least one second device having at least one second clock, the method comprising: receiving (401), by the at least one second device, at least one first message from the first device, wherein information regarding a time of departure of the at least one first message is in the at least one first message; determining (402), by the at least one second device, a time of arrival of the at least one first message; receiving (403), by the at least one second device, at least one second message from the first device, wherein information regarding a time of departure of the at least one second message is in the at least one second message; determining (404), by the at least one second device, a time of arrival of the at least one second message; and determining (405) a clock frequency offset between the first clock and the at least one second clock based on the time of departure
