Abstract: A method for compensating for multipath effects when receiving a vestigial sideband modulated TV signal, one portion of the spectrum of the undistorted TV signal being symmetrical with respect to a video carrier frequency, and deviations from the symmetry of the relevant portion of the spectrum that exists in the undistorted state being analyzed in order to suppress the multipath effects.

Abstract: An antenna system for a satellite-supported navigation device in a vehicle includes a part which is to be arranged on the exterior of a mounting surface of the vehicle body and which contains an antenna component, a system part to be arranged on the interior, and a coupling device for coupling on antenna signal and a power supply between the exterior part and the interior part. The coupling devices includes signal transmission devices which transmit power supply signals and, as required, also data signals in a wireless manner through the mounting surface between the exterior and the interior parts.

Abstract: The invention provides a device for the transmission of data between two terminals in which a portion of the body of a living being completes the data transmission circuit. A first terminal is to be worn by a body of a living being, and an interface is provided for coupling of data signals into the body and/or for coupling them out of the body. A second terminal has a touch-sensitive interface by way of which, in the case of a contact by the body wearing the first terminal, it couples data signals coupled into the body out of the body and/or couples data signals into the body. According to the invention, the interface of the first terminal has a first pair of electrodes which are to be arranged at mutually spaced points of the body, and the interface of the second terminal has a second pair of touch-sensitive electrodes which are to be touched by two other mutually spaced points of the body.

Abstract: An inductive guidance arrangement for non-track-bound vehicles on a vehicle supporting surface. Guidance conductors laid alongside the supporting surface carry an alternating current which generates an alternating magnetic field. The actual transverse position of the vehicle relative to the alternating magnetic field is continuously detected by aerial crossed coils arranged on the vehicle at a defined distance above the supporting surface. A controller and steering apparatus arranged on the vehicle detect the actual transverse position of the vehicle relative to a desired position, and generate a steering instruction, which eliminates transversal positional deviation. The guidance conductors are arranged parallel to one another at the same vertical position, with a mutual transverse spacing of approximately 50% of the vertical height of the aerial crossed coils above the supporting surface.
