Abstract: An improved device for regenerating an infrared signal transmitted over the air for use in detecting a 3-dimensional position of an object. The regeneration device includes an infrared signal transmitter and detector that receives from the object a responsive infrared signal in response to the infrared signal transmitted by the transmitter. A low pass filter receives the responsive infrared signal from the detector and outputs a low-pass filtered signal. A comparator compares the output of the infrared signal detector and output of the low pass filter and generates an output representing a logic state based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method includes communicating first and second signals between a first node and a second node, where the first signal includes a sonic signal and the second signal includes an electromagnetic signal. The method also includes using the electromagnetic signal to one of start or stop a timer and using the sonic signal to another of stop or start the timer. The method further includes identifying a one-way time-of-flight associated with the sonic signal traveling between the first and second nodes using the timer. The one-way time-of-flight associated with the sonic signal is indicative of a distance between the nodes.

at least one transfer device (128, 1128), wherein the transfer device (128, 1128) has at least one focal length in response to at least one incident light beam (116, 1116) propagating from the object (112, 1112) to the detector (110, 1110, 2110);
at least two optical sensors (113, 1118, 1120), wherein each optical sensor (113, 1118, 1120) has at least one light sensitive area (121, 1122, 1124), wherein each optical sensor (113, 1118, 1120) is designed to generate at least one sensor signal in response to an illumination of its respective light-sensitive area by the light beam (116, 1116),
at least one evaluation device (132, 1132) being configured for determining at least one longitudinal coordinate z of the object (112, 1112) by evaluating a quotient signal Q from the sensor signals.




The detector is adapted to determine the longitudinal coordinate z of the object in at least one measurement range independent from the object size in an object plane.
