Abstract: An energy transmission system for a fluid line having a generator unit with a power supply unit that can be arranged at a first location of the fluid line and at least one consumer unit having at least one consumer that can be arranged at a second location of the fluid line spaced apart from the first location is disclosed. The generator unit has a pressure surge generator connected to the power supply unit and the pressure surges can be generated and introduced into the fluid located in the fluid line, and the consumer unit has a pressure surge transducer that is connected to the at least one consumer by the pressure surges introduced into the fluid and can be converted into electrical energy that can be supplied to the at least one consumer.

Abstract: A fitting, in particular an outlet fitting, for a sanitary installation has a control unit, a sanitary element controllable with the control unit, and at least one imaging sensor. The control unit is adapted to trigger an action of the sanitary element depending on an object recognition based on at least one output signal from the at least one imaging sensor. A fitting arrangement with such a fitting as well as a method for controlling such a fitting are also provided.

Abstract: A sensor for monitoring a monitoring area having a transmitter for transmitting radiation into the monitoring area for reflection at an object in the monitoring area, a test transmitter for transmitting a test signal comprising radiation, a receiver for receiving the radiation of the transmitter that is reflected at the object or the radiation of the test transmitter, and an evaluation device for ascertaining a distance value on the basis of the delay in the transit time or the phase of a modulation between the transmitted and received radiation of the sensor. The sensor further comprises a memory for storing an expectation value for the expected distance value of the received test signal, and a comparison device for comparing a distance value on the basis of the received test signal with the expectation value and for outputting a safety signal on the basis of the comparison.

Abstract: A control arrangement for an entrance system, having one or more movable door members and an automatic door operator for causing movements of the one or more movable door members between closed and open positions, includes a controller and one or more sensor units. Each sensor unit is connected to the controller and arranged to monitor a respective zone at the entrance system for presence or activity of a person or object. At least one sensor is an image-based sensor unit having an image sensor arranged for capturing an image of an external object, a memory arranged for storing a plurality of settings for the image-based sensor unit, and a processing device. The processing device is arranged for processing the image captured by the image sensor to identify a machine-readable optical code therein, deriving a configuration instruction encoded by the optical code, and executing the configuration instruction.

Abstract: A control arrangement (20) is disclosed for an entrance system (10) having one or more movable door members (D1 . . . Dm) and an automatic door operator (30) for causing movements of the one or more movable door members (D1 . . . Dm) between closed and open positions. The control arrangement (20) has a controller (32) and one or more sensor units (S1 . . . Sn), each sensor unit being connected to the controller (32) and being arranged to monitor a respective zone (Z1 . . . Zn) at the entrance system (10) for presence or activity of a person or object. At least one sensor unit of said one or more sensor units (S1 . . . Sn) is an image-based sensor unit (300) which has an image sensor (310) arranged for capturing an image of an external object (380) when presented at the image-based sensor unit (300), a memory (330) arranged for storing a plurality of settings (340-1, . . .
