20090193669 | Hand-Guided Power Tool - A hand-guided power tool has a drive motor and a drive element connected to and driven by the drive motor. A working tool is connected to the drive element and driven by the drive element. A braking device is correlated with the drive element, wherein the braking device in a first state, in which the braking device is applied, blocks the drive element and in a second state, in which the braking device is released, releases the drive element so that the drive elements can rotate freely. The braking device has a brake lever and a sensor that detects the first and second states of the braking device. A control unit is provided, wherein an output signal of the sensor as a state signal of the first state or the second state is supplied to the control unit. The control unit, based on the state signal, controls devices of the power tool. | 08-06-2009 |

20100182190 | Method for ascertaining and monitoring fill level of a medium in a container by a travel time measuring method - A method for ascertaining and monitoring fill level of a medium in a container by means of a field device by a travel time measuring method, wherein transmission signals are transmitted in the direction of the medium and reflection signals are received, wherein received reflection signals are registered as echo signals in an echo function dependent on travel time or travel distance, wherein position and/or amplitude at least of a wanted echo signal in the echo function are/is ascertained by means of an echo search algorithm and a continuous echo tracking of changes of position and/or of changes of amplitude of the wanted echo signal in the echo function is performed in a defined search window, wherein position and/or amplitude at least of a wanted echo signal is maintained, in case no wanted echo signal is ascertained in the search window, wherein from position and/or amplitude at least of a wanted echo signal, fill level is ascertained, and wherein a measured value of fill level is output. For this, an asymmetric search window is used for ascertaining the wanted echo signal. | 07-22-2010 |
20130063298 | METHOD FOR FILL LEVEL MEASUREMENT ACCORDING TO THE TRAVEL TIME PRINCIPLE - A method for measuring a fill level of a fill substance in a container, in which, in an empty container, at least a part of the microwave signals transmitted into the container is reflected back via a reflection on a floor of the container. Microwave signals are transmitted into the container and their fractions reflected back to the fill-level measuring device. These are received as received signals. Echo functions are derived, which show amplitudes of the received signals as a function of a position corresponding to their travel time traveled in the container. A container floor echo is detected at a position, which lies in an earlier determined, both sides limited, empty echo position range, in which the container floor echo occurs in the case of empty container, at an empty echo position dependent on a shape of the container and an installed position of the fill-level measuring device. | 03-14-2013 |
20140360264 | Method and Measuring Device for Fill Level Measurement - A method for measuring fill level and a measuring device for performing the method, wherein, in measuring cycles following one after the other, signal pulses of predetermined frequency sent by means of a transmitting and receiving system with a predetermined repetition frequency into a container, and their signal components reflected back in the container in the direction of the transmitting and receiving system after a travel time dependent on their traveled path, are received as received signal. A fill level is measured taking into consideration a phase relationship between the transmitted and received signals related physically with the fill level to be measured. In each measuring cycle, based on the received signal, an auxiliary signal is derived reflecting amplitude and phase information in the received signal as a function of travel time, based on the auxiliary signal, a travel time of a signal fraction reflected on a surface of the substance is determined as fundamental travel time are determined, based on the travel times of the zero crossings of the auxiliary signals determined in the current and in a plurality of preceding measuring cycles, a phase appearance-frequency distribution is derived as a function of travel time, which gives appearance-frequencies, with which zero crossings were present on the respective travel times in the associated auxiliary signals, a travel time of a maximum of the frequency distribution lying nearest the fundamental travel time is determined as fill level travel time, and the fill level is determined based on the fill level travel time. | 12-11-2014 |
