Abstract: A magnetic circuit device (1) for implementing the magnetic circuit of a magnetic-inductive flow meter (12) has at least one coil (2b) which generates a magnetic field, at least two opposing flat pole elements (3a, 3b), between which, in the installed state, the measurement tube (13) of the magnetic-inductive flow meter is located, and with at least one magnetically conductive connecting element (4a, 4b) for magnetic closure of the magnetic circuit. The cross section of the core (2a) of the coil (2) and/or of the magnetically conductive connecting elements (4a, 4b) is as small as possible. Preferably, the magnetically conductive connecting element or the magnetically conductive connecting elements (4a, 4b) are arc-shaped so that the resulting magnetic circuit device (1) has a ring-shaped outer contour and extensively encompasses at least one of the flat pole elements (3a, 3b).

Abstract: A level switch detects the fill level of a medium in a container and transmits a switch signal corresponding to the detected level. The level switch incorporates a signal generator for generating an electromagnetic signal, a measuring circuit, and a reference circuit into which the electromagnetic signal can be fed. The measuring circuit is so configured and positioned that the signal fed into the measuring circuit changes as a function of whether or not the measuring circuit is surrounded by the medium, while the reference circuit is so configured and positioned that the signal fed into the reference circuit remains unaffected by the fill level of the medium. A tap at a specific point on the measuring circuit collects the measuring voltage, a tap at a specific point on the reference circuit collects a reference voltage, and a voltage comparator compares the measuring voltage with the reference voltage and emits a comparison-derived switch signal.
