    摘要: The invention relates to a method for determining and/or evaluating a differential, optical signal. According to the invention, at least two first light sources (S1, S2) which are sequentially clocked in terms of light and emitted in a phased manner are provided, in addition to at least one receiver (E) which is used to receive at least the alternating light portion arising from the first light sources (S1, S2). The light-intensity radiating through at least one light source (S1, S2) in the measuring arrangement is controlled in such a manner that the clock-synchronous alternating light portion, which occurs between different phases, is zero in the receiver (E). By determining the reception signal in the receiver (E) in relation to the phase position in order to regulate the radiated light intensity and by producing an adjustable variable (R) directly or by adding current in the receiver, it is possible to simplify digital implementation of the method with as little sensitivity loss as possible.

    摘要: In a method for measuring the transmit time of light, in particular for cameras, a first light signal which is clocked by a first clock controller (16) is input into a light system (14) by a light transmitter (12) and is reflected back to a receiver photodiode (13) by means of a reflective objective (O). The photodiode (13) determines a reception signal as a result of the first light signal. By virtue of the fact that a further light signal which is clocked by a further clock controller (17) is input into the photodiode (13) at an angle with respect to the first light signal and is mixed at the photodiode (13) with the first light signal to form a common reception signal (S13), that the common reception signal (S13) is filtered with a filter (25) whose frequency response corresponds to the frequency of the clock difference in order to form a filter signal, in that the clock signal of the first clock controller (16) and of the further clock controller (17) are also mixed in a mixer (30) in order to form a mixed signal and in that the phase shift between the mixed signal of the clock controllers (16, 17) and the filter signal is used to determine the transit time of light, a method for measuring the transit time of light is provided which can operate in particular with cameras even with relatively inexpensive components and relatively low-frequency amplifiers.

    摘要: The invention relates to a device and a method for identifying an object O in an opening that can be closed by means of a mobile element (12). Light is fed into at least one fiber-optic light guide (33, 34) from a light source (1, 2), and variations in the received light are detected by means of at least one receiver (Ea, Eb), the fiber-optic light guide being arranged at least partially along the edge of the opening (11). A first fiber-optic light guide sends light transversally to the length thereof, said light being then received by a second fiber-optic light guide transversally to the length thereof. The second fiber-optic light guide (34) is connected to the receiver (Eb). The fiber-optic light guides are arranged on the edge of the opening (11) in such a way that a light field (F) at least partially bridging the opening is produced. At least one light source (1, 2) and at least one receiver (Ea, Eb) are respectively associated with each fiber-optic light guide (33, 34), and a clock circuit is used to alternately feed the light received by the respective receiver into the fiber-optic light guides. Comparison means are used to compare the signals on the receivers in order to identify the object.

    摘要: A control arrangement for a control element for opening and closing a hatch in a motor vehicle has a motorized vehicle panel. The control element is designed in such a way that, upon a short actuation of the control element, depending on the direction of actuation of the control element, a control unit outputs a signal to a motor in order to displace the vehicle panel, and the vehicle panel is displaced in response to the signal. A safety operating device for the arrangement has at least one light transmission section which is actuated upon actuation of the control element and which correspondingly outputs an activation confirmation signal to a control unit. The control unit will not output a signal in response to which the motor displaces the vehicle panel until the signal from the control element and the activation confirmation signal from the safety operating device are present at the same time.

    摘要: A method of locating metal or non-metal containing objects and materials includes regulating currents in at least two emission coils in relation to each other. A reception coil output signal is received by at least one reception coil or average values of demodulation phases generated from the reception coil output signal are regulated in relation to each other continuously to be zero even when exposed to metal. The amplitude(s) of the required controlled variables are detected as a value by demodulation, preferably at least at 0° and at a demodulation which is set off by 90° and are equalized, thereby allowing a reliable detection of an object to be detected even if other metal objects are present in the area of detection.
