Abstract: A position measuring device including a code having a sequence of code elements of equal width B that is disposed in a measurement direction and includes a first property and a second property. The sequence of codes elements includes a first set of code elements having the first property and a second set of code elements having the second property, wherein the first and second sets of code elements are each being disposed aperiodically. The position measuring device further including a scanning unit having a plurality of detectors for scanning the code and obtaining scanning signals, wherein a code word defining an absolute position is defined from the scanning signals.

Abstract: In a device and a method for correcting scanning signals of incremental position transducers, which exhibit deviations from the signal shape required by a downstream evaluation unit, the scanning signals are fed to a correction unit in response to a signal request and, to implement the correction, are linked there to correction data which were generated in consideration of active values of the scanning signals. Following each signal request, for at least one predefined time segment, the correction unit is exclusively fed scanning signals which are used for generating correction data.

Abstract: A film transporting arrangement of a camera has a film transporting handle, a perforation wheel, a polygonal disk connected with the perforation wheel and having a plurality of surfaces and a number of corners corresponding to the number of teeth of the perforation wheel, and two arresting arms pretensioned relative to one another and arranged so that they engage the surfaces formed between two neighboring corners of the polygonal disk and correspond to these surfaces so as to press the polygonal disk, and thereby the perforation wheel, to a respective angular position.

Abstract: A cinematographic camera has a housing composed of a main section which carries at its narrow front side a photographic lens, and a cover section which straddles the main section and is provided with a viewfinder. The main section can be telescoped into and out of the cover section and in so doing respectively blocks and unblocks the viewfinder. A handgrip is pivoted to the main section and can be displaced between a position in which it hugs the main section and overlies the photographic lens which it thereby protects, and a position in which it projects from the main section so that it can be gripped by a user.
