  • Patent number: 7242845
    Abstract: A recording arrangement receives reception information including program, picture and/or sound information in a receiving channel of a television program. A detector detects the received program information which characterizes the start and end times of the television programs. A recorder is adapted to record the picture and/or sound information on a record carrier from a recording start time till a recording end time. A recording controller which, when a user of the recording arrangement has defined the recording start time and the receiving channel for a recording, is adapted to propose the end determined by the detector as the recording end time for the recording of the television program that can be received in the receiving channel.

  • Patent number: 7171849
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor module in a flexible housing with integrated transmission means. A possible application of such a flexible sensor module would be the use as transponder-based tire pressure measuring system. Here, the complete module could be vulcanized into the tire, and the data could be transmitted by means of a standardized receiver unit. The transmission may herein be made by radio or inductively, for example.

  • Patent number: 5583296
    Abstract: A pressure sensor comprises a substrate and a layer defining together with said substrate a pressure sensor cavity, said layer including a diaphragmlike area which is adapted to be acted upon by an external pressure. A micro-miniaturizable pressure sensor of the above-mentioned type, which is used for differential pressure measurement or for relative pressure measurement, is provided on the basis of the features that said cavity is followed by a channel which extends along the surface of said substrate, said channel comprising a layered structure including also the layer which also defines the diaphragmlike area of the pressure sensor, the ratio of the width of the channel to the thickness of the layered structure above the channel being smaller than the ratio of the smallest extension of the diaphragmlike area in the diaphragm plane to the thickness of the diaphragmlike area.
