/**
 * <p>The purpose of this class is to keep the android system from
 * sending keep-alive commands to NFC tags.</p>
 * <p>This is necessary on some of the most common devices because
 * their implementation of keep-alive isn't according to the NFC
 * specification. The result of this is that a keep-alive command
 * can abort an authentication process that utilizes a
 * challenge-response mechanism, which Mifare DESFire does.</p>
 * <p>A common usage pattern will be to do some NFC communication,
 * call {@link #holdConnection(IsoDep)}, communicate with a webservice,
 * call {@link #stopHoldingConnection()}, and do some more NFC
 * communication.</p>
