  • Patent number: 9147782
    Abstract: An optoelectronic transmission system has a photoemitter semiconductor component and a photodetector semiconductor component. The photoemitter semiconductor component has a radiation source for converting a first electrical signal into a first electromagnetic radiation and a first polarization filter having a first polarization direction for filtering the first electromagnetic radiation. The photodetector semiconductor component has a second polarization filter having a second polarization direction for filtering a second electromagnetic radiation and a sensor element for converting a second electromagnetic radiation which has been polarized by the polarization filter into a second electrical signal. In this case, the first polarization direction of the first polarization filter is identical to the second polarization direction of the second polarization filter.

  • Patent number: 6586721
    Abstract: A reflected light barrier has a housing with a base element. A semiconductor light emitter and a semiconductor light receiver are arranged on the base element in such a way that there is no free-standing partition between the light emitter and light receiver optically screening the light receiver from the light emitter. The light emitter has such a low beam divergence that the crosstalk from the light emitter to the light receiver is kept within operating tolerances.

  • Patent number: 6199428
    Abstract: A fluid level measuring device for measuring a fluid filling level in a container contains a float disposed in the container and a magnet disposed in the container. The magnet is coupled to the float in terms of movement and, in the event of a change in the fluid filling level, executes a movement that corresponds to a change in fluid level. A magnetic field sensor is disposed in a zone of influence of a magnetic field generated by the magnet and outputs an electrical signal which is representative of a height of the fluid level.
