Abstract: The invention relates to a gas meter, especially for household and industrial use, comprising a CMOS anemometer (2) which is provided as a means for determining a consumed quantity of gas, which measures a change in temperature of a gas flowing through or over said anemometer and, as a result, determines the flow rate of the gas. In addition, a density sensor (3) is preferably provided which serves as a means for correcting measured values generated by the anemometer (2).

Abstract: A capacitative level sensor (1), especially for determining the boundary (34) between water (3) and oil (4) in a separator tank (2), comprises a measurement probe (5) with an electrode (6). The probe has an electrically insulating cover (7), and at least one outer layer (7a) made of fluorated plastic and at least one inner layer (7b) made of a plastic containing mica.

Abstract: The coverings have differing thicknesses (di, dj). Measurements of capacity between electrodes (4, 5, 6, 13) are used to calculate the effective thickness (ds/ epsilon s) of an insulating film of contamination (14). An Independent claim is included for a capacitative level sensor. Preferred Features: The quotient of double layer capacities CDSj and CDSi for the ith and jth electrodes is obtained from a cited equation. The effective thickness is obtained from a further equation, relating dielectric constant of the coverings, their thicknesses, and capacitor areas. The sensor has a covering thickness of ca. 1 mm, with a dielectric constant below 5. The contaminant film electrical characteristics are specified in terms of a critical frequency related to measurement. Measurement frequency is specified as a function of dielectric relaxation frequency at the boundary layer. Though dielectric thickness varies and the electrodes are segmented, the probe external configuration, is a long, smooth, cylindrical rod.

Abstract: The movement sensor and actuator system has a current supply unit comprising solar cells (7) and an energy store (6) connected to the cells. The actuator controls a light or lamp (5) which radiates at least some light onto the solar cells. An energy store monitor (8) determines the current charge state of the energy store. The monitor sends a signal to switch the light on when the charge state of the energy store falls below a minimum value, without movement needing to be sensed.

Abstract: The system has movement alarm units (1, 4, 7) monitor the status of the system, and transmitters (3, 6, 9) transmit status signals (SA) corresponding to the status from the alarm units to an actuator (10). The status signals relate to system activity condition, system component condition, system position and system information. The status signals are delivered to indicators (13-16) in the actuator for indicating the status.

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.
