  • Patent number: 11136127
    Abstract: A supervision system for an aircraft for monitoring a safe charging of portable electrical devices of a passenger who may be in an attentive or an inattentive state, comprising a passenger seat, a power supply station assigned to the seat and used to supply electrical power to the portable electrical device, the portable electrical device being connected to the power supply station, a camera, which detects the state of the passenger situated on the seat, and an arrangement to distinguish whether the passenger is in an attentive or inattentive state. A method for safe charging of portable electrical devices is also presented and described, comprising the steps of detecting a passenger with a camera, analyzing whether the passenger is in an attentive state or in an inattentive state, and, if the passenger is in an attentive state, supplying a power supply station with electrical power to be provided to a portable electrical device connected to the power supply station.

  • Patent number: 9108732
    Abstract: A carrying system for receiving containers in a vehicle includes at least one container, at least one electrical consumer arranged in the container, at least one primary winding in a first core and at least one secondary winding in a second core. The secondary winding is arranged in the container, and the primary winding can be attached on the vehicle side in such a manner that movement of the container to a receiving position results in alignment of the primary winding and the secondary winding. The primary winding and the secondary winding are adapted for inducing in the secondary winding an alternating voltage that is applied to the electrical consumer.
