Abstract: The method involves passing the flow over a sensor element (1) with a heating arrangement (1a) for altering the temperature and a sensor element (1b) for determining its temperature. The heating arrangement is operated at least occasionally with a heating power in the form of heating pulses and a flow-dependent threshold time is measured until a defined temperature threshold is reached. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: an arrangement for implementing the inventive method.

Abstract: The system has two movement alarm units (15, 16, 17), which are wirelessly connected to two actuators and a light (12, 13, 14) assigned on the units. Each movement alarm unit detects a movement within a coverage area and a command signal allows the light to be switched on and a given time to leave signal is provided to an actuator (29, 30, 31). The light is assigned spatially to a respective movement alarm unit and is provided when the sensing times of the movement alarm units are same or different. Each movement alarm unit (12, 13, 14) which detects movement within the area provides a command signal to dim the light of the neighboring light to an actuator. Additional commands are provided for switching on and off the light. Each actuator has a signal processor (43, 44, 45), which converts the different command signals and when simultaneous sensing times are provided the light only then switches off, if the sense time is too long.

Abstract: Differential pressure generator for a gas meter arrangement comprises an array of ducts within the differential pressure generator that is inserted in a gas pipe to produce a measurable pressure drop. The ducts (40) are arranged in concentric circles with the internal diameters of the ducts decreasing monotonically from the central duct (Z) to the outer ducts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring gas consumption by means of a gas meter (1). A gas meter (1) comprising a thermal flow senso r (1a) for determining mass flow signals (SM) and a calibrating device used as an energy measuring appliance for emitting energy value signals (SE) is know n. According to the invention, a gas type is determined by the gas meter (1) insofar as combustible and non-combustible gas mixtures (3) are differentiated. For a non-combustible gas mixture (3), the gas meter (1) is operated with calibration in mass units or units of volume under standard conditions (1/min), and for a combustible gas mixture (3), with calibration in energy units (kWh). Forms of embodiment include, inter alia, the measurement of a parameter (.lambda., .alpha., c, .eta.) of the gas (3) in order to determine the gas type; a gas quality sensor (1a) with the same structure as the thermal flow sensor (1a); and longer measuring intervals for a non- combustible gas (3) and shorter measuring intervals for a combustible gas (3 ). The advantages of the invention are, inter alia, reliable energy measurement as a result of the automatic differentiation between a non-accountable gas ( 3) and a high-quality useful gas (3); recognition of manipulation attempts; and automatic calorific value tracking even without calorific value measurement.

Abstract: Determining a gas mixture consumption comprises calibrating a gas meter as the energy measuring device, where the calibration is based on a base gas mixture; and multiplying the measured energy consumption value with a correcting factor which considers the calorific value of the gas mixture. The calorific value is determined by an external unit. An Independent claim is also included for the gas meter used in the process. Preferred Features: Sensor signal values are determined for the calibration depending on the flow rate of a calibrating gas, and stored in the gas meter. The calibrating gas is air or oxygen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for fluorescence measurement of oil residues in water. The core of the invention is to use a powerful, narrow-band excimer lamp to excite intensive fluorescence radiation to detect the latter with a photodiode or the like, and to determine the oil concentration therefrom. The excimer lamp can be designed as a flat radiator a hollow cylindrical inner radiator or a tubular radiator, and can be combined with a through-flow or free fall measuring cell. The excimer lamp is advantageously operated in a pulsed or modulated fashion, the fluorescence radiation is measured at a right angle to the exciting radiation, the emitted and/or transmitted exciting light is monitored with the detectors, and a redundant measuring arrangement with a plurality of excimer lamps and fluorescence detectors is provided. The sensor is distinguished by reliability, freedom from maintenance and a long service life.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas meter for determining the consumption of a ga s mixture. The inventive gas meter determines sensor signal values proportionately in relation to a throughflow rate and is adjusted for use as an energy-measuring device. The adjustment is based on a base mixture. When the consumption of gas is measured, a measured energy consumption value is multiplied with a correction factor which takes into account the heating val ue of a particular gas mixture at least approximately. This heating value is determined by an external unit. This enables the effective energy relationsh ip to be established for the gas consumption using a simple, economical gas meter. An invoice can then be produced according to this relationship.
