Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and monitoring device for monitoring a wash process inside a washing apparatus, the method comprising the steps of introducing into the washing apparatus a monitoring device suitable for measuring physical and/or mechanical parameters of the wash process and recording the measured parameters within the monitoring device. A self-contained and wireless monitoring device is used.

Abstract: An improved power supply device is disclosed where the filament (2) of a transmitter tube (1) is powered by an AC generator (18) via a transformer (12) and a rectifier (24), and where the AC generator (18) receives a feedback via the bifilar winding (5) of a pulse transformer (3).

Abstract: A digital pulse compression filter for use in a radar or sonar transmitting and receiving unit to process sampled and digitized signals. The sampling frequency (f.sub.s) is equal to about four times the center frequency (f.sub.o) and greater than about twice the bandwidth (.DELTA.f) of these signals. The pulse compression filter (5) comprises a time correlation circuit (7) supplied on the one hand with the sampled and digitized signals and on the other hand with signals representing a replica of the radar or sonar transmitter pulse, whereby one of the two types of signals supplied to the correlation circuit (7) is correlated with the orthogonal components of the other type of signals supplied to the correlation circuit (7) to obtain the orthogonal components of the compressed pulse.

Abstract: Threshold circuit for selecting video signals derived from small stationary and moving objects amidst an abundance of clutter in a harbor area. The threshold voltage generator (1) of this circuit is suitable for detecting the temporal average .DELTA.P of the positive peak value and the temporal average .DELTA.N of the negative peak value from the AC component of the applied video voltage (V.sub.DC +V.sub.AC) and for generating modified voltages (l+k)(V.sub.AC -.DELTA.P) and k(-V.sub.AC -.DELTA.N). The modified voltages together with the inverted video voltage are combined to form the threshold voltage V=V.sub.DC +.DELTA.P+k(.DELTA.P+.DELTA.N) being k times the average peak-peak value above the average peak value of the video voltage, where k is a constant.

Abstract: A clock pulse system for generating and distributing two clock pulse signals which are symmetrical with respect to each other and which are shifted in time. Each of the clock pulse signals are also symmetrical per se. The system comprises a current source which is arranged to be floating with respect to a fixed potential and which can be switched on and off by a pulse source. The system furthermore comprises a delay line whose ends are connected to the current source, and a load, the delay line and the load being actuatable by the current source. The load is symmetrical, and the distribution of the generated clock pulse signals is effected by way of distribution lines which preferably consist of twisted core pairs.
