    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for obtaining the position of a counter wheel (1) in a wheel counter mechanism, in terms of capacity. SOLUTION: The device is provided with fixing electrodes (3 and 3') at a certain distance from the counter wheel (1). A series of measurement electrodes (12, 12' and 12") are extended onto the outer periphery of the counter wheel (1) and non-conductive sections (13 and 13') are electrically arranged among the measurement electrodes. Then high or low, i.e., the binary value of zero or one is detected concerning each position of the counter wheel and each fixing electrode. The binary expression of an optionally desired number which expresses the present position of the counter wheel (1) is formed by combining the binary values through the use of the number of the fixing electrodes for each counter wheel.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flow-rate measuring method, for a flow medium (M), in which defects of a ultrasonic measuring method is removed, and to provide a flowmeter. SOLUTION: A photoacoustic effect is used to measure the flow rate of the flow medium (M), especially a natural gas. A light emitter (1) is used to generate sound waves (S) detected by a sound detector (2), inside the flow medium (M). The light emitter (1) is not exposed to the flow medium (M) so much, as compared with a diaphragm which is used in the ultrasonic measuring method.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor (1) for measuring density profile using gamma rays (5), which is particularly suitable for measuring the level in oil separator tanks. The known measuring principle involves conducting locally resolved measurement of a density-dependent gamma ray transmission of a medium (6a, 6b, 6c) by a vertical linear array (13) of photomultipliers( 7) and using said measurement to determine the location of an oil/water (6c) boundary layer. According to the invention, the gamma ray density sensor (1) is equipped with PIN photodiodes (10) instead of photomultipliers (7). Means for passive cooling for said photodiodes (10) are also provided. This considerably simplifies the structure, operation and maintenance of the sensor and improves local resolution and service life of the sensor (1). Passive cooling can be easily realized by building a thermal bridge (12) between the warm photodiodes (10) and the cool ambient medium or the cool wall (14) of the separator tank. Usability of the sensor (1) under difficult operating conditions and in non-easily accessible locations is generally improved.

    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: Electronic circuit for a proximity sensor, which is target independent and uses a phase projection transformation. Circuit comprises a signal generator (1), a phase delay device (2), an oscillation circuit (3), a multiplier and a low pass filter (6). The circuit is designed so that the oscillation circuit can be driven using a square wave voltage (U1). A synchronous demodulator (5) is used for phase projection transformation. The multiplier is formed by the synchronous demodulator and an inverter (4) is placed between the oscillation circuit and the synchronous demodulator. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for operating an inventive approach sensor.

    Abstract: A photoacoustic effect is used in order to measure a flow rate of a flowing medium (M), in-particular of natural gas. A light emitter (1) is used to produce in the medium (M) a sound wave (S) which is transmitted by the medium (M) and detected by a sound detector (2). The light emitter (1) is less exposed to the medium (M) than a diaphragm such as used in the ultrasonic method.
