Abstract: TDR limit level switch determines whether or not the measuring probe is surrounded by the filling material on the basis of the positions relative to the transmission pulse that can be read out from the detected measuring signal and on the basis of the associated amplitudes of the reflections of the transmission pulse on the coupling point and on the end of the measuring probe. In this way, a limit level message can be formed in a simpler, more secure and more reliable manner.

Abstract: A waveguide coupling arrangement for a radar antenna according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can be provided. For example, the waveguide coupling arrangement can include a radiator element connected to a microstrip line configured to transmit and/or receive a radar signal, a waveguide configured to conduct the radar signal and a substrate on which the microstrip line, the radiator element and the waveguide can be arranged. The waveguide can have a cross section with a narrow side and a wide side. The narrow side can be shorter than the wide side. The microstrip line can be guided through the narrow side of the waveguide into the waveguide to the radiator element that is arranged in the interior of the waveguide. The microstrip line and the radiator element can be arranged on a surface of the substrate facing the waveguide.

Abstract: A limit level switch includes an integrated position sensor which, when the limit level switch is put into operation, detects information about the installation position of the limit level switch inside a container. This positional information is taken into account when evaluating the measurement signals detected by the limit level switch in order to determine whether or not the measuring probe is surrounded by filling material. This can simplify the evaluation method.

Abstract: A waveguide coupling includes a planar radiator element which couples the transmission signal into a waveguide of the waveguide coupling. The waveguide widens in the direction of the planar radiator element, in such a way that the radiator element can be of a comparatively large diameter without the inner walling of the waveguide detracting significantly from the signal quality.

Abstract: A cooling system through which liquid flows for carrying away waste heat for electronics housings is particularly suited for the automotive industry. The cooling system is adapted to the dimensions of the housing. The novel device is the first to create an effective cooling system for electronics housings with and for a number of circuit board levels, yet with a space-saving compact design.
