Abstract: Apparatus for measurement of the reception time of a pulse in a receiving system, which contains at least one receiving channel with a non-linear transmission response, which receiving channel produces at its output a received signal, having a memory, in which the received signals of reference pulses with a predetermined different amplitude are available as reference signals with respect to a time scale, and having an evaluation device, which is connected to the receiving system and to the memory and compares a received signal with each reference signal with a variant time offset in order to determine that reference signal and that time offset for which the comparison discrepancy is a minimum, and outputs this time offset as the reception time with respect to the time scale.

Abstract: A slide bearing for an internal combustion engine having a bearing bore (3) provided in a bearing box (2) is described which is contoured in the form of grooved recesses (8) distributed over the axial length and running in a peripheral direction, and provided with a bearing layer forming a running surface (9) for taking up a bearing journal. In order to create advantageous structural conditions it is proposed that the running surface (9) of the bearing layer (4) applied to the bearing bore (3) has a contour with respect to spacing matching the contour of the bearing bore (3) in the form of grooved recesses (10) distributed over the axial length and running in a peripheral direction.
