  • Patent number: 10094775
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sensor arrangement for determining the turbidity of a liquid medium. The sensor arrangement includes a sensor section with at least one light source for sending transmission light into a measuring chamber, and at least one receiver associated with the light source for receiving reception light from the measuring chamber, wherein the transmission light is converted into the reception light in the measuring chamber by the medium by means of scattering at a measurement angle, and the reception light received by the receiver is a measure of the turbidity. The reception light is back reflected at a reflection element in contact with the medium, whereby an optical path from the light source through the measuring chamber to the reflection element and from the reflection element through the measuring chamber to the receiver results.

  • Patent number: 9812792
    Abstract: A pressing element is configured for an electrical component which needs to be pressed against another element for contact. The electrical component includes at least one electrically conductive touch contact. The pressing element has an annular pressing surface for the electrical component. An outer contour of the pressing surface is greater than an outer contour of the electrical component which needs to be pressed. The pressing surface has an annular elevation which forms a bearing surface for the electrical component.
