    Abstract: A sensor for locating metal or magnetic objects includes a first and a second transmitting coil and one receiving coil. The receiving coil includes a first and a second receiving sub-coil. The first transmitting coil and the first receiving sub-coil are arranged in a first plane. The second transmitting coil and the second receiving sub-coil are arranged in a second plane. The first transmitting coil and the first receiving sub-coil are offset in relation to the second transmitting coil and the second receiving sub-coil with respect to a common center axis which passes vertically through the planes. The first receiving sub-coil is configured differently than the second receiving sub-coil.

    Abstract: A method for locating an object hidden beneath a surface using a locating device is disclosed. At least one coupling signal dependent on the object is received by a receiving means of the locating device. Once the locating device has been placed on the surface, a first value Ci of the coupling signal is detected and the first value Ci is defined as value CBG for a background subtraction. In particular, whilst the locating device and the surface are moved relative to one another, at least one further value C of the coupling signal is detected and the value CBG for the background subtraction is re-calibrated by the at least one further value C if the at least one further value C is lower than the value CBG for the background subtraction. The re-calibration is suspended if a valid value CBG is identified for the background subtraction.

    Abstract: An imaging locating device includes a first locating apparatus, a position sensor, and an evaluation apparatus. The first locating apparatus is configured to detect locating data in relation to objects to be located. The objects are concealed under an examination surface. The position sensor is configured to detect position data of the locating device in relation to the examination surface. The evaluation apparatus is configured to determine a first at least two-dimensional map information items by assigning the locating data of a first category from the first locating apparatus to the position data. The evaluation data is further configured to determine at least one further at least two-dimensional map information item. The at least one further at least two-dimensional map information item differs from the first at least two-dimensional map information item.

    Abstract: A circuit having a first, second, and third capacitor. Capacitor plates of the capacitors are connected to a first circuit node. The circuit supplies a first time-dependent voltage to the first capacitor, a second time-dependent voltage to the second capacitor, and a third time-dependent voltage to the third capacitor. The first and second voltages are clocked in antiphase. The second and third voltages are clocked in phase. The circuit has an amplifier, a synchronous demodulator, and a comparator. Inputs of the amplifier are connected to the first circuit node and ground. The synchronous demodulator alternately applies an output signal of the amplifier to inputs of the comparator, synchronously with the clock frequency of the first voltage. The circuit generates a control value dependent on an output of the comparator. The circuit changes amplitudes of the first and third voltage and/or the second voltage dependent on the control value.

    Abstract: A locating appliance for a capacitive detection of an object encloses in a medium. The locating appliance comprises a measurement electrode such that a first alternating current flows from the measurement electrode into the medium. The locating appliance further comprises a reception electrode where the measurement electrode forms a measurement capacitance with the reception electrode, where the measurement capacitance is based at least in part on the object. The locating appliance further comprises a reference electrode such that the reference electrode forms a reference capacitance with the reception electrode, where the reference capacitance is not based on the object. The locating appliance further comprises a first opposing electrode that is configured to introduce a first alternating current in the medium. The absolute value of the second alternating current corresponds to an absolute value of the first alternating current and is in antiphase with the second alternating current.
