| 20090299662 | Evaluation of an Echo Shape of Filling Level Sensors - A transit-time fill-level measuring device for measuring the fill level of a filling material in a container is stated, in which transit-time fill-level measuring device information about the topography of the filling material surface is determined on the basis of the shape of a single echo curve of the receiving signal. From this the fill volume can then be derived. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100123615 | Potential Separation for Filling Level Radar - For safety reasons the potential of an electrical supply line of a radar sensor should be separate from the potential of the filling level container. An arrangement for potential separation for a filling level radar is provided, which arrangement comprises a separation element for insulating the waveguide from the antenna. The separation element, corresponding to the cross section of the waveguide, is ring shaped. In this way rotatability between the sensor housing and the antenna subassembly is provided without influencing the signal line between the antenna and the waveguide. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100223019 | Measuring Filling Level by Means of Evaluating an Echo Curve - A method for filling level measuring comprises generating an echo curve and analysing the echo curve by means of an analysis method. The analysis method is at least one analysis method selected from the group of analysis methods comprising analysing the echo curve by means of at least two parallel tasks, and analysing the echo curve by comparing the echo curve with a spurious-echo curve at the IF-level. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100307251 | Detailfunction Based Measurement - Methods and apparatuses for finding, extracting and for providing of echoes with detail functions are described. In particular, an echo extraction method for extracting an echo from an echo function is described. The method comprises receiving the echo function and decomposing the echo function in at least one detail function. The at least one detail function comprises a plurality of first coefficients. Each of the at least one detail functions represents a different degree of detail of the echo function. The degree of detail relates to a form of a base function. Furthermore, the method comprises eliminating at least one of the plurality of first coefficients and applying a reconstruction regulation or scheme, which depends on the form of the base function, for generating a smoothed echo function. Thereafter, at least one echo is determined from the smoothed echo function. | 12-09-2010 |
