Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for contact-less temperature regulation, in which the temperature is measured in a contact-less mode with a temperature measurement device and detected as an analog value and then digitized, wherein moreover there is provided a digital regulator which outputs a control value in dependence on the detected temperature and predetermined regulating parameters and a corresponding apparatus.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multispectral sensor with several filters and sensor elements for different spectral ranges of a radiation to be measured. The object of the invention is to so further develop a multispectral sensor of this type that it can be manufactured as a discrete component with small dimensions and has a high measuring accuracy, whilst obtaining a high output signal. This object is achieved in that the beam is broken down by an optical device into several partial beams and reflected onto filters. Behind the filters are located radiation-sensitive elements, which detect the spectral range corresponding to the transmission range of the in each case upstream filter. The remaining spectral range of the partial beam is reflected by the filter surface towards the other filters. Thus, each filter is supplied with the associated spectral ranges of all the partial beams.

Abstract: A method for the contactless measuring of the temperature of objects with a hanging proportion of differently emitting surfaces having the same temperature by means of a multi-channel pyrometer, for example, for pyrometric measurements, on which there are different amounts of residues of the material to be processed. The spectral signal voltages U.sub.ij are ascertained as a function of the difference U.sub.oj -U.sub.uj for the i=1 to m surfaces of the object differing in emissivity, at least m spectral signal voltages U.sub.j are measured and the object temperature is determined from the additive superimposition of the m radiation sources in the measurement location.
