Abstract: A measuring device for detecting a conductor that carries alternating voltage, includes a voltage source configured to produce two phase-shifted alternating voltages, two complex impedance elements having first connections, which are connected to the alternating voltages, and second connections, which are connected to each other and to which a differential voltage is applied, and a control device configured to control the alternating voltages in such a way that a component of the differential voltage synchronous with the alternating voltages is minimized in magnitude. The control device is configured to detect the conductor if a ratio of the alternating voltages does not correspond to a ratio of the complex impedance elements in the absence of the conductor. The second complex impedance element is changeable with a control voltage. A probe is configured to provide the control voltage as a function of an alternating electromagnetic field induced by the conductor.

Abstract: A measuring apparatus for detecting a dielectric object comprises a potential probe for determining an electric potential in an electric field, a first capacitance device, a second capacitance device, and a control device configured to supply alternating voltages to the first and the second capacitance devices. The control device is configured to amplify the alternating voltages in opposite directions to one another in order to minimize the magnitude of an AC voltage component, which is clock-synchronous with the alternating voltages, of a voltage which is recorded by means of the potential probe. The dielectric object is detected when a ratio of the alternating voltages does not correspond to a ratio of (i) a first distance of the potential probe from the first capacitance device to (ii) a second distance of the potential probe from the second capacitance device.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for localizing objects enclosed in a medium in which a measurement signal correlated to the enclosed object is generated and is used to produce a signal for transmission to a user. The signal allows at least a distinction between a first state “Object detected” and at least one second state “no object detected.” The disclosure proposes that a third state “Object close by” be provided. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a measuring device, particularly a hand-held locating device, for carrying out the method according to the disclosure.
