Abstract: An apparatus for measuring information indicative of electromobility in a sample includes a light source for generating coherent light, a modulator that modulates the optical path length, particularly a reciprocatable modulator arranged for modulating a first part of the generated light, a sample cell for accommodating the measured sample for applying an electric field to the sample and for receiving a second part of the generated light for interaction with the sample in the electric field, a modulator monitor for monitoring the modulator by detecting interference between a first part of the light coming from the modulator and an unmodulated third part of the generated light, and a light detector arranged separately from the modulator monitor for detecting interference between a second part of light coming from the modulator and light received from the sample cell. The detected signal includes the information indicative of electromobility in the sample.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for printing on receipt forms or the like with a one-line printing mechanism. In order also to be able to print the form with a number of lines, this is gripped firmly on a sliding carriage and the carriage is moved along into different line positions on the printing mechanism. A mechanical control mechanism with a cam plate serves for driving the sliding carriage. The closed cam plate makes possible a control in the retraction and extension direction with a corresponding rotation of the cam plate. The exact positioning of the sliding carriage is done by a ratchet in the control mechanism. An electronic control takes care of an automatic running of one printing operation.
