Abstract: Disclosed is a card clock recovery system for use in an NFC card transceiver couplable to an NFC reader.

Abstract: There is described an RFID device, comprising: a transmitter, a matching device, and a receiver. The transmitter is hereby coupled via the matching device to the receiver. The transmitter is configured to transmit a transmitter signal through the matching device, thereby obtaining a calibration signal. The receiver is configured to receive the calibration signal and estimate a phase shift of the calibration signal. Further, the RFID device is configured to adjust at least one of a transmitter phase shift and a receiver phase shift in order to compensate for the estimated phase shift. Further, a method of calibrating a phase shift in an RFID device is described.

Abstract: Disclosed is a card clock recovery system for use in an NFC card transceiver couplable to an NFC reader.

Abstract: An airliner type aircraft passenger seat unit includes a seat that can be converted into a bed and a body isolating the seat from neighboring seats. The seat includes a seat section and a backrest that are movable. The body includes a rear partition, a side panel, on one side of the seat, and a console topped with a tray table, on the other side of the seat. The side panel and an outer wall of the console being parallel and spaced apart by a distance L between 1000 mm and 1600 mm. The passenger seat unit further includes a single motorized mechanism, to simultaneously actuate the movements of the seat section and the backrest, but remains capable of receiving one or more additional motorized mechanisms.

Abstract: A seat for a passenger cabin of a vehicle includes a bucket seat (10), the bucket seat including a seat pan (11) and a back rest (12) attached to the seat pan with which it determines a dihedron with a constant angle, integral with a base (20). The bucket seat is mobile, between a sitting position “a,” in which the seat pan (11) is approximately horizontal, and a resting position “r,” in which the back rest (12) is pivoted rearward by an angle  relative to the sitting position “a,” in rotation relative to the base around an axis of rotation (21), approximately fixed relative to the base, located above the seat pan (11) and in front of the back rest (12) when the bucket seat is in the sitting position “a.” The pivoting axis is defined by, for example, the shape of slides on which rollers or shoes travel.

Abstract: A set includes two blocks each of two seats convertible for lying down, wherein the two blocks are arranged with the seats of one block face-to-face with the seats of the other block inside a circumscribed rectangle. Each block includes a first seat and a second seat. The first seats of the two blocks are arranged along a first diagonal of the circumscribed rectangle and the longitudinal axes of the first seats are oriented so that their directions are close to the first diagonal and the first seats are substantially face-to-face. The distance between the two first seats is such that a foot area of a first seat of a block is superposed when seen from above with a foot area of the first seat of the other block. In the recumbent configuration, the planes to lie down on of the two first seats are at different heights.
