  • System and a method for determining a cabin layout in a cabin of a vehicle and to an aircraft
    Patent number: 9682668
    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.
