A piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer for radiating ultrasonic energy in the medium of air has a number of piezoceramic ultrasonic radiators disposed in registry within a dimensionally stable carrier block which has an intrinsic acoustic impedance which is lower by a factor of at least eight than that of the piezoceramic material and which has a high mechanical attenuation 1/Q.sub.m greater than approximately 0.05. The carrier block is yieldable at at least one closed face thereof for emission and/or reception of ultrasonic energy. The piezoelectric transducer elements may be divided into a number of side-by-side elements which may be individually energized, or may have electrodes connected in series for energizing the individual transducer elements in common. The combined operation of the ultrasonic transducer elements within the carrier block results in an ultrasonic transducer having broadband characteristics matched for ultrasonic transmission in the medium of air of short ultrasonic waveforms and for receiving ultrasonic energy for near-distance detection.

A circuit arrangement for a piezoelectric positioning element is formed of a series connection of a capacitive element, an inductance, and first switch to be controlled, said series circuit being connected across at least one piezoelectric body of the positioning element. The capacitive element, which may be another piezoelectric body of the same positioning element but which is operated in reverse phase, has at least approximately the same capacitance value as a capacitance of the first piezo-electrical body. The inductance is dimensioned sufficiently large in order to magnetically intermediately store substantially an entire energy increment to be transferred between the positioning element and the capacitive element. The first switch is connected to permit termination of a charge transfer. A series circuit is formed of an electrical energy source for charging and recharging and a second switch, said series circuit being connected parallel to the positioning element or the capacitive element. A controllable short-circuit switch is connected parallel to the capacitive element or parallel to the positioning element. In this way, the activation energy of the piezoelectric body is recovered on de-activation, for re-use on the next cycle.

A trigger device for electronic switches operating according to piezo-electric principles and having galvanic decoupling between the input control electronics and the controlled electronics switch has a piezo-ignition coupler which is a lamina of piezo-ceramic material having at least two spaced electrodes on one surface thereof and at least two counter electrodes in registry therewith on an opposite side thereof. The respective electrodes in registry form electrode pairs and one pair of electrodes is connected to the control electronics and another pair of electrodes is connected to the trigger electrode of the electronic switch. The lamina has a shape displaying an axis with more than two-fold rotational symmetry and the dimensions of the lamina are selected such that the frequency of an alternating signal supplied to the lamina is matched to the resonant frequency of the lamina at a value between 20 kHz and 500 kHz for inducing a mode of vibration according to the principle of radial oscillation.

An electrically actuated positioning element system utilizes a positioning element formed of piezo-electrical bodies each formed of a plurality of lamellae having electrodes. The lamellae have a length substantially greater than their thickness and upon application of an electrical voltage with a field direction which promotes a polarization of the material of the lamellae, the body is shortened. The two bodies are connected to one another at one end by a cross arm and at the other end the one body end is active and free to move relative to the other body end such that a resultant relative motion occurring between the two body ends may be utilized. Preferably a connection is provided for absorbing a lateral thrust of the bodies. The two piezo-electrical bodies are each electrically connected to one another for reverse-phase operation such that one contracts while the other is in a lengthened condition and vice versa.

A system is disclosed for indicating when a flow heater used for vaporization of water and heated by PTC resistors as heating elements therein must be decalcified. Within the flow heater a PTC resistor element is located at a water entry and also at a water exit region. A main PTC heater element is also provided between the entry and exit elements. Separate power supply lines are run to the exit and entry heating elements and an electronic circuit is provided which determines when a difference in current flow in the exit heating element compared to the entry heating element exceeds a given value indicative of the need for decalcification. The circuit connects with an indicator which is triggered when decalcification is required.

A photographic or electronic camera is disclosed having an optoelectronic distance meter. Linear sensors are provided and by way of partial aperture diaphragms associated with a lens first and second images are created and projectd onto the image sensors. An evaluating circuit, in dependence upon varied position displacements of the sensor signals, determines a maximum correlation between the signals and an associated position displacement with a corresponding electrical value corresponding to distance. A stringing mirror deflects the path of rays either into the view finder or to an image plane for picture taking. The swinging mirror has apertures positioned to permit the first and second bundles of rays to pass therethrough. Deflection elements are attached to the swinging mirror and are positioned to direct the partial bundles of rays passing through the apertures such that the images are projected onto the image sensors.

Circuit arrangement for inducing oscillations in an ultrasonic transducer approximating its natural resonance frequency, and comprising an oscillator for generation of an excitation AC voltage. A pulse gate circuit is connected to supply pulse wise application of the AC voltage to the transducer. The oscillator frequency is controlled by an auxiliary pulse generator connected to the transducer in parallel with the oscillator. A gate circuit and a phase discriminator are employed to produce favorable excitation for the particular oscillation mode of the transducer. The transducer is made preferably from a piezo electric ceramic. The circuit includes means capable of automatically finding the resonance frequency of the transducer.
