Abstract: To record times and intermediate times at sporting events, especially large and multi-discipline events, a method is proposed for immediately establishing the result, by which a large number of recording stations are positioned along the competition track which are connected to a central station, which evaluates the arriving information in a wireless or wire-bound manner, that every recording station has a frame antenna to absorb energy in the high-frequency range as well as to receive high-frequency signals and each athlete is handed a passive high-frequency transmitter with a personal code, which he holds in the recording station when the respective station is reached, whereby the recording station first re-charges the high-frequency transmitter via an antenna, afterwards the high-frequency transmitter passes the code to the recording station, the code is received by the recording station and is immediately passed with a further code from the recording station to the central station, where evaluation is car

Abstract: The invention concerns a system for monitoring the movement of goods inwa and/or outwards with the aid of characteristic markings, such as a bar code which is scanned by a reading pen. Each reading pen is connected by a terminal which has a display and keys for giving special signals by flexible connecting wires. Each terminal is connected via an infrared beam with a so-called converter and this is connected via connecting wires with a control center and a processor as well as a memory. The reading pen contains no electronic components, as small proportion of these are contained in the terminal while the by far greater proportion is contained in the control center with the related processor and memory.The signals from the reading pen transmitted to the control center and passed on to the processor and memory are also transmitted back to the terminal concerned where they appear in a display so that the person operating the lightweight reading pen can check them.
