Abstract: An electrical plug connector for a coaxial or triaxial cable, wherein the cable includes an internal conductor, a first shielding conductor surrounding the internal conductor and extending coaxially with it, and optionally a second shielding conductor surrounding the first shielding conductor. The plug connector has a connector body, which includes an internal conductor contact element designed as a plug, socket, or coupling, for contacting with the internal conductor, an internal shield contact element provided for contacting with the first shielding conductor, and optionally an external shield contact element provided for contacting with the second shielding conductor. The connector body is configured such that the contact elements in the mounted condition of the plug connector are arranged on the cable such that a maximum diameter of the connector body is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the cable or only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the cable.

Abstract: As regards a measurement structure which is as simple as possible and in order to influence the mixing operation or the transfer of substances to the slightest possible extent, a method for measuring the mixing ratio of a mixture of substances comprising at least two substances (10, 11) is configured in such a manner that the mixture of substances is brought into the measurement range of a capacitive sensor (1)—in particular is moved past the latter or moved through the latter—and the mixing ratio is determined from the change in the capacitance of the sensor (1), which change is caused by the mixture of substances. A corresponding sensor arrangement in which the mixture of substances is guided through a tubular area (2) is specified.
