  • Patent number: 9995560
    Abstract: The ignition device according to the present disclosure implements in a reliable manner a one-time transient switching process for high voltages (>1.5 kV) and high currents (>3 kA) in combination with a minimal space requirement, maximum environmental durability and at the same time low cost expenditure by integrating the essential components on a flexible printed circuit system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 22, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 12, 2018
    Assignee: TDW Gesellschaft für verteidigungstechnische Wirksysteme mbH
    Inventors: Gerhard Zörkler, Johann Florian

  • Patent number: 7995190
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for measuring a distance between a distance sensor (5), which is carried on a vehicle, and an object (2). The method includes emitting electromagnetic impulse signals (6) and receiving signals (7), which are reflected by the object. Subsequently the signal propagation time is determined. Pulses (10) received after having been reflected by the object (2) are separated and added together, after which the mean value is formed, and the received pulses are superimposed with a modulation signal (18). Also disclosed is a device suited for carrying out the method.

  • Publication number: 20070115166
    Abstract: The invention relates to a procedure for measuring distance between a distance sensor (5), which is carried, in particular, by one vehicle, and an object (2) by emitting electromagnetic impulse signals (6) and by receiving signals (7), which are reflected by the object, and for subsequently determining the signal propagation time, and relates to a device suited for carrying out this procedure. Pulses (10) received after having been reflected by the object (2) are discretised and added together, after which the mean value is formed, and in different embodiments of the pressure, the received pulses are superimposed with a modulation signal (18).
