Abstract: A magnetic revolution counter for the self-identification of error states includes magnetic domain wall conductors which are composed of open spirals or closed, multiply-wound loops, formed by a GMR layer stack or a sort magnetic layer of locally present TMR layer stacks and in which the magnetic 180° domain walls can be introduced and located, wherein a predefinable bijective magnetization pattern of domain walls and/or domain wall gaps is written in, and the associated signal levels thereof are stored in the form of signal level sequences in a first memory in tabular form, which is compared to tabular target value patterns of the signal level sequences stored in a second memory for each permissible revolution i (0?i?n), and a third memory is provided, in which tabular error target value patterns of deviations of signal level sequences, caused thereby, from regular signal level sequences stored in the second memory are stored.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor for the absolute counting of revolutions or linear distances includes a soft magnetic loop structure, which is populated with a predeterminable number of magnetic domains and provided with GMR or TMR layer assemblies, in which at least two separate coplanar loops having predominantly straight subsegments extending in a rhombus-like arrangement with respect to each other are provided, and the at least two loops are connected to each other via a shared intersecting point, wherein directly in front of each intersecting region in which, and after which, the domains can change from one loop to the neighboring loop, these sections of the loop structure are bent away from the conductor guidance and are curved in a siphon-like manner in this region so as to be directed into the interior of the loop structure, wherein the conductors in respective siphon-like troughs intersect each other perpendicularly.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for representing surface colors for simulating print results through a screen, comprising at least one light source and a projection surface. According to the invention the base colors are generated from white light through filters from surface colors and the mixed colors are generated through subtractive color mixing, preferably through reflexive color filters. Through the method for representing surface colors for simulating print results the capability is created to represent surface colors at different locations and at different times identically.

Abstract: A sensor element for a revolution counter includes a laminated structure suitable to cause a change in magnetisation in the sensor element without a power supply, simply by the displacement of a magnetic field past the sensor element. Moreover, the laminated structure is suitable for storing a plurality of such changes. The sensor element has a spiral structure.
