Abstract: An input apparatus for operating and/or controlling a technical device includes a plurality of sensor elements which can be arranged spatially distributed in the oral cavity of a user. An interface circuit is coupled to the sensor elements and is configured to detect a respective current tongue position and/or tongue movement by means of the sensor elements. The interface circuit generates one or more control signals depending on the respective current tongue position and/or tongue movement and transmits the one or more control signals to the technical device. Advantageously, the sensor elements each include a transponder which is configured to receive an interrogation signal from the interface circuit and, in response thereto, to transmit an individually coded response signal to the interface circuit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining an actual value and/or an actual value range of at least one state variable of a fluid in a fluid flow by means of at least one indicator particle (9) introduced into the fluid. In addition it is proposed that the at least one indicator particle (9) is designed and provided for an irreversible property change of an indicator property of the indicator particle (9) in the case of a certain indicator value of the at least one state variable in the fluid flow and/or as a clear function of the actual value when a certain period of time has elapsed after the indicator particle (9) has been introduced into the fluid, wherein the indicator particle (9) is detected at a detection point, the indicator property of the indicator particle (9) is evaluated and the actual value and/or the actual value range of the state variable is inferred from the indicator property upstream of the detection point. The invention also relates to a method for operating a fluid-guiding device (7), an indicator particle (9) and a device (7) for determining the actual value and/or actual value range of the at least one state variable.

Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for detecting electrically conductive foreign bodies during inductive energy transmission between a primary coil (1) and a secondary coil (2), at least one sensor coil (5) is arranged between the primary coil (1) and the secondary coil (2), and a current flowing in the sensor coil (5) due to the induced voltage during the energy transmission is detected and evaluated. In this case, the sensor coil (5) is connected to at least one capacitor to form a resonant circuit which is matched to the excitation frequency of the primary coil (1). The phase position of the current in the resonant circuit in relation to a reference signal is then used to determine whether there are electrically conductive foreign bodies (4) between the primary coil (1) and the secondary coil (2). A high degree of sensitivity, also in relation to small electrically conductive foreign bodies within the energy transmission path, is achieved by means of the method and the apparatus.
