Abstract: Apparatus and methods for detecting inclination employ a point source of light from which light is emitted through a lens toward a reflective surface of a liquid contained in a vessel. Light reflected from the surface passes through the lens to form a defocused image of the point source on a two-dimensional array of detector elements. Data acquired from the array represents intensity of the light incident on each of the detector elements. A center of gravity representing inclination of the vessel is determined from the data.

Abstract: A device for determining position between two parts which are movable relative to one another, comprises a linear sensor arrangement, a length scale or angle scale comprising a sequence of transparent and non-transparent fields, an illumination device and elements for imaging at least one section of the scale on the sensor arrangement. The entire length scale or angle scale is divided into n graduation portions of equal length, wherein every portion contains a sequence of transparent and non-transparent marks, and the sequence is successively a number which is binary-coded with k bits and correlated with the respective portion as rough value code and a fixedly recurring number which is likewise binary-coded with k bits as a reference mark (reference mark with length of k bits). Every code bit is of equal length and is formed of a transparent and a non-transparent field (half-bit) of equal length, wherein the binary information comes from a sequence of two half-bits. A process for relative position determination shows how the sensing of the graduation and the evaluation and determination of the measurement values is carried out.
