    Abstract: The inventive opto-electronic switch comprises a light-emitting element (1) and a receiving element (2) which outputs a first signal (U(t)) whose value changes according to the amount of light received. The emitting element (1) and the receiving element (2) are arranged in such a manner that the light emitted by the emitting element (1) is diffused or reflected by objects, which are located within a determined area, such that at least one portion of this diffused or reflected light reaches the receiving element (2). The first signal (U(t)) is fed to an evaluation unit in which a switching element (18) changes its switching state if the change of the amount of reflected or dispersed light received by the receiving element, which is caused by motion of the object, is located within the limits of a predetermined motion pattern that corresponds to a tapping of a defined area. The evaluation unit determines time-variable changes in motion and identifies a change in motion of the object as tapping.

    Abstract: The comb filter (13.1) in the chrominance signal transmission channel (6) on the playback side of a videorecorder contains--in parallel with its retarder circuit (14)--an adder circuit (15) and a subtracter circuit (25) that have their signal outputs connected to a comparator circuit (30). Comparing the enveloping curves of the output signals (Sc and Sd) of the adder and subtracter circuits, the comparator then produces a switching signal (Sf) to reverse an electronic switcher (31) whenever the level of the enveloping curve of the subtraction signal is greater than the level of the enveloping curve of the addition signal. To this end, the level conditions of the two signals are set in such a manner that the level of the enveloping curve of the subtraction signal associated with a transition from a white background to a chrominance signal of a given intensity is greater than the level of the enveloping curve of the addition signal associated with the same color transition. Consequently, line-parallel color transitions that become color-disturbed due to the action of the comb filter are readily recognized and can be replaced by switching to an undisturbed chrominance signal (Sa).

    Abstract: The proposed method of broadcasting television signals is such that the phase of the carrier signal as modulated with the video signal is shifted through 180.degree. from one line to the next within a field. Measure ensures that the disturbance signal due to a transmitter operating in the same channel will produce opposite effects from one line to the next, i.e. a brightening in one line and a darkening in the next. These opposite disturbances of adjacent lines are then compensated by the vision of the viewer or by electronic circuits specially designed for this purpose, so that the picture data originating from the interfering transmitter will not be perceived by the viewer.

    Abstract: A video recorder having recording/reproducing apparatus for subsequent recording of data signals in defined video lines of a previously recorded signal existing on a magnetic tape. The recording/reproducing apparatus (10, 11, 12, 19, 20) records FM signals onto the magnetic tape and reads previously recorded FM signals from the magnetic tape. A voltage controlled oscillator VCO (13) is connected between a data signal input terminal (16) and a recording terminal (11), for converting data signals routed to the data input terminal (16) into FM data signals. A switch (14) is connected between the recording terminal (11) and a VCO (13) output, for switching the recording terminal (11) to the VCO (13) output for the duration of the recording mode of the data recording apparatus. A circuit (17) detects a line sync signal (22) of the video lines passing through the data recording apparatus, for switching the recording/reproducing apparatus from recording mode to reproducing mode immediately before the end of a video line, and for switching from the reproducing mode to the recording mode immediately after detection of the line sync signal (22). A phase comparator circuit (23) has phase comparator inputs, one connected to the VCO (13) output and another to the reproducing output (12), for generating a phase deviation signal for the VCO (13) input and for setting an in-phase oscillation of the VCO (13) with the oscillation picked up by the phase comparator circuit (23). A data signal switch (18) has the VCO (13) input connected either to the output of the phase comparator circuit (23), or to the data signal recording apparatus input terminal (16) for the duration of the recording mode of the data signal recording apparatus.

    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: In a method for determining at least one physical parameter, a sensor unit which is activated by at least one periodic excitation (1.4) is provided, wherein the sensor unit has at least one detection region in which changes of the parameter in the surroundings of the sensor unit lead to output signal (1.7) from the sensor unit. The sensor unit is wired such that if there are no changes of the parameter in the detection region the output signal (1.7) is a zero signal or virtually a zero signal at the output of the sensor unit, whereas if there are changes of the parameter in the detection region the output signal (1.7) is a signal that is not zero and has a specific amplitude and phase. In a closed control loop, the non-zero signal in the receive path is adjusted to zero using a control signal to achieve an adjusted state even in the presence of changes of the parameter in the detection region. The control signal is evaluated in order to determine the physical parameter. The output signal (1.7) from the sensor unit is reduced substantially to the fundamental wave of the excitation (1.4) and the output signal (1.7) is controlled to zero in the entire phase space by means of at least one pulse width modulation. A temperature-stable, fully digital measuring system is provided as a result of the fact that the at least one pulse width modulation itself generates a correction signal with a variable pulse width and possibly a variable phase which is then added to the output signal (1.7) from the sensor unit and the output signal is thereby controlled to zero in the entire phase space, wherein the pulse width of the correction signal and/or the phase of the correction signal is/are determined by the deviations of the output signal (1.7) from zero.

    Abstract: A sensor for the location of metallic objects and also an associated method comprise a plurality of transmitting coils (2.1, 2.2) and at least one receiving coil (1.9) which are arranged such as to be inductively coupled to one another and overlap to a partial extent for the purposes of decoupling the interaction therebetween, whereby there can be obtained a point of optimal cancellation of the interaction. Due to the fact that a flow of current is passed through the transmitting coils (2.1, 2.2) by a sensor electronic system, equal flows of current through the transmitting coils have an effect upon the at least one receiving coil (1.9) which results in a local point of optimal cancellation which moves in a first direction when there is a flow of current in a first transmitting coil (2.1), whereas it moves in another direction when there is a flow of current in a further transmitting coil (2.2), and due to the fact that there is provided a control circuit for the regulation of the currents in the transmitting coils which leads to a displacement of the local point of optimal cancellation which causes cancellation of the received signal, a simple and effective sensor is thereby produced.
