Abstract:
One embodiment includes a radar system for range measurement having a first operating mode for measurement in a first range zone and having a second operating mode for measurement in a second range zone. The radar system includes a radio-frequency transmission module, at least one antenna, and a control and processing unit. The radio-frequency transmission module has an oscillator for providing a transmission signal with a first frequency spectrum in the first operating mode, and with a second frequency spectrum in the second operating mode. The at least one antenna is connected to the radio-frequency module. The control and processing unit provides control signals which are supplied to the radio-frequency transmission module for selecting the operating modes.
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to provide prior art equipment, especially for firemen, in the form of helmets (2) and/or breathing masks (3) with a display unit for infrared images. A mask (6) for displaying images on a display (20) is provided, whereby the images are recorded by a camera (13). The inventive mask comprises a frame (18) having a seal (17) that, when the mask (6) is used, rests on an assigned bearing surface (5), e.g. the visor (5) of a breathing mask (3), in such a way that a sealed chamber (19) is formed between the mask (6) and the bearing surface (5).
Abstract:
A method for spectroscopically determining the concentration of alcohols with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, especially ethanol, in liquid probes, especially alcohol-containing food products, healing preparations, cosmetic products and the like. The absorption of light by the probe is measured at at least one wave length in the range of 1100 nm to 1300 nm, and preferably in the range of 1150 nm to 1250 nm. The alcohol concentration is determined from the measured absorption with the help of a calibration. The alcohol content of a liquid probe can be determined in a simple and fast manner and over a large concentration range.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an optochemical sensor consisting of a polymer matrix and a luminescent colorant material contained therein, whose emission power may be modified by the substances to be detected after being excited with electro-magnetic radiation. The polymer matrix is formed by at least one polymer, wherein no plasticizers have been added, which polymer contains phenyl groups in the main chain and may also be sterilized. the invention also relates to a method for producing the disclosed optochemical sensor, wherein a solution of a polymer is prepared, wherein 0.01 to 100 mMol luminescent colorant material per polymer is added to the solution and the mixture is solidified to obtain a homogenous membrane.
