Abstract:
A circuit arrangement for a light signal receiver for receiving and recognizing light signals which are transmitted in a pulsed manner and to which ambient light of an undefinable intensity is parasitically superimposed. The circuit arrangement contains a two-pole light sensor and, for each terminal pole of the light sensor, a separate current-voltage converter for direct current is provided. The current-voltage converters have identical transmission behavior. Each terminal pole of the light sensor is connected to an identical signal input of a current-voltage converter. The current-voltage converters are connected as amplifying filters and are negative feedback-connected in terms of direct current and in a frequency-dependent manner so strongly via the input at which the terminal pole of the light sensor is located that the d.c. voltage at the terminal poles of the light sensor is constant independently from the intensity of the parasitic light. The outputs of the current-voltage converters are connected in terms of alternating current to an input of a differential amplifier.
Abstract:
A circuit is provided for adjusting an operating point of an opto-electronic element having a saturation voltage and which constitutes a component of a receiver for alternating light useful signals and which generates current during a short-circuit operation and voltage during a no-load operation. The circuit comprises a resistive circuit connected in parallel with the opto-electronic element for adjusting the operating point of the opto-electronic element below the saturation voltage for the compensation of constant light signals. The resistive circuit includes an automatic control resistor which changes its resistance as a function of voltage when a specific voltage below the saturation voltage is exceeded for loading the opto-electronic element until the specific voltage is essentially reached.
Abstract:
An anti-distortion device, connected downstream of a transmitting device (2) with a determined transmission bandwidth for transmitting a input signal (Se) with signal jumps (3), wherein the delay time (Tv15) of the delay element (15) is such that the front slope (24) of the detection signal (S18) of the second signal jump detector (18), produced when a slope (4) of the useful signal (Sa1) is detected, is at least partially located in the time range (T25) of the trailing edge (25) of the corresponding detector signal (S17) of the first signal jump detector (17), that the delay time (Tv11) of the delay element (11) is equal to half the period (T5) of the overshoot (5) superimposed on the useful signal, and following the signal slope (4) of the transmitted signal (Sa1), and that the delay element (10) is connected between the output (1) of the transmitting device (2) and the input (11.1) of the delay element (11).
Abstract:
A comb filter circuit (1) with a usual comb filter (3) contains a circuit to detect line-parallel color edges. To that effect, envelope curves (Sf2, Sf3) are created from the addition signal (Sb) and the subtraction signal (Sc) of the delayed and the undelayed color signal (Si) on the input side of envelope curve demodulators (23, 15), and a control signal (St) is created in a comparator circuit (38) by comparing the envelope curves, which adjusts the signal portions of the transmitted and delayed color signal on the input side, and transmits them with an adjustable electronic fader control (40) to the signal output (29) of the comb filter circuit. To ensure trouble-free control even under operating conditions, during which a large portion of cross talk signals are scanned, an additional comb filter (31) is connected to the signal path of the subtraction signal (Sc), which eliminates most of the cross talk portions on this signal path.
Abstract:
A device for recording FM signals in helical-scan tracks of a video magnetic tape has a phase shifter disposed between an FM modulator and a write-head configuration, which subjects the FM signal from the FM modulator to a phase shift. The phase shifter determines a phase shift for a luminance signal which is determined by a first phase shift P1 for a line n of a track m; a second phase shift P2 for a line n+1 of the track m; and a third phase shift P3 for the line n located in the track m+1. For the line n+1 located in the track m+1, a fourth phase shift P4 has a value determined by the other three phase shifts such that a total phase difference D between a first phase difference D1 of the fourth and the second phase shifts (D1=P4-P2) and a second phase difference D2 of the third and first phase shifts (D2=P3-P1) measures 180.degree. (D=D1-D2=180.degree.), whereby a cross-talk interference which in line n leads to brightening as compared to an original brightness, results in line n+1 having an offsetting equally large darkening.

Abstract:
A method for measuring the transmit time of light, in particular for cameras. A first light signal is clocked by a first clock controller, input into a light system and reflected back to a receiver photodiode, which determines a reception signal as a result of the first light signal. A further light signal clocked by a further clock controller inputs the photodiode at an angle to the first light signal and is mixed at the photodiode with the first light signal to form a common reception signal, which is filtered with a filter whose frequency response corresponds to the frequency of the clock difference to form a filter signal, the first and further clock signals are also mixed in a mixer to form a mixed signal and the phase shift between the mixed signal and the filter signal is used to determine the transit time of light.
Abstract:
An identification element has a transponder with a data-emitting transmission unit and with a data-receiving reception unit in order to communicate with a device for registering and/or controlling access authorization to spaces or objects. In addition, a control circuit is provided for the transmission unit and reception unit. The transponder is an optical transponder (1.1), the transmission unit of which is a light-emitting transmission unit (1.3) and the reception unit of which is a light-receiving reception unit (1.4). The optical transponder and an autonomous power supply are integrated into the identification element. The identification element is in the shape of a name plate or of an identification element of comparable size which is assigned to an object or body or is to be supported thereon. By virtue of the fact that the transmission unit (1.3) of the optical transponder (1.1) is operated by the control circuit (2.5) in such a way that it transmits optical pulses of less than or equal to 100 nanoseconds repeatedly per second and that the identification element is batteryless, a very small optical transponder is provided which requires little energy and no batteries.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and a method for identifying an object O in an opening that can be closed by means of a mobile element (12). Light is fed into at least one fiber-optic light guide (33, 34) from a light source (1, 2), and variations in the received light are detected by means of at least one receiver (Ea, Eb), the fiber-optic light guide being arranged at least partially along the edge of the opening (11). A first fiber-optic light guide sends light transversally to the length thereof, said light being then received by a second fiber-optic light guide transversally to the length thereof. The second fiber-optic light guide (34) is connected to the receiver (Eb). The fiber-optic light guides are arranged on the edge of the opening (11) in such a way that a light field (F) at least partially bridging the opening is produced. At least one light source (1, 2) and at least one receiver (Ea, Eb) are respectively associated with each fiber-optic light guide (33, 34), and a clock circuit is used to alternately feed the light received by the respective receiver into the fiber-optic light guides. Comparison means are used to compare the signals on the receivers in order to identify the object.
