    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a disclosed method involves transmitting a first transmit signal(s) having a first signal strength and/or a first field of view (FOV), thereby establishing a first radiation region. The method further involves receiving a first receive signal(s) radiated from an EMID tag(s). Also, the method involves transmitting a second transmit signal(s) having a second signal strength and/or a second field of view (FOV), thereby establishing a second radiation region. In addition, the method involves receiving a second receive signal(s) radiated from an EMID tag(s). Additionally, the method involves subtracting the second radiation region from the first radiation region to determine a difference region. Also, the method involves determining which of the EMID tags are located within the difference region by using the first receive signal(s) and the second receive signal(s). Further, the method involves determining a location of the EMID tag(s) located within the difference region.

    Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for terrestrial data transmission between aircrafts and external networks connected to gates at airports. This type of data transmission is performed through an electrical power cable that includes multiple conductors interconnecting electrical components of an aircraft and a gate. Each conductor may be used to establish a separate broadband over power line (BPL) communication channel using its own frequency range that does not overlap with frequency ranges of other channels. As such, no radio frequency (RF) shielding is needed in the cable and any standard multi-conductor cable may be used. A channel management unit is used to control allocation of data domains among different communication channels depending on characteristics of the data domains, characteristics of the channels, and other factors. For example, one channel may be designated for secure data transfer of specific data domains, such as aircraft control data.

The push-button may be for control of a passenger service unit (PSU) onboard a passenger vehicle, and may also generate mechanical energy when pushed. The power assembly may convert the mechanical energy to electrical energy, and store the electrical energy, solely from which the control and communication circuitry may be powered. The control and communication circuitry may include a microprocessor and a communications interface. The microprocessor may receive an indication when the push-button is pushed, and generate an instruction to control the PSU in response thereto. And the communications interface wirelessly transmit the instruction to a control unit configured to effect control of the PSU based thereon.
