Abstract: A method for determining the position of a rotor in an electronically commuted motor. The method comprises the steps of calculating the rotation angle using three Hall-sensors; identifying and correcting phase errors; and determining and correcting cyclic errors.

Abstract: The device and the method are used for optical detection of at least one phase transition between at least two media, which are taken into a line and/or dispensed from the line by an intake and/or dispensing device. A light-emitting transmitter emits light across and onto the line at a measurement point provided for this purpose. A receiver receives the emitted light, which is influenced by media in the line, to form reception signals. At least one waveguide, which is arranged up to the measurement point on the probe, is provided between the transmitter and/or the receiver and the measurement point (M). Due to the fact that the waveguide is arranged in parallel to the line at least in the area near the probe and at least one deflection lens is provided in the area of the measurement point to deflect the light emitted and/or the light to be detected, a phase boundary or state can be detected, and the dead volume is reduced.

Abstract: A system for transmission measurement with the aid of microwaves for the continuous determination of the concentration of a substance, the system being composed of: a transmission waveguide antenna for radiating microwave energy; a receiving waveguide a for receiving radiated microwave energy, each of the waveguides being provided with a window that is transparent to microwave radiation; and a signal processing circuit connected to the waveguides for supplying a microwave signal to the transmission waveguide antenna to cause the transmission waveguide antenna to radiate microwave energy via the window of the transmission waveguide antenna and for receiving from the receiving waveguide antenna a microwave signal created in the receiving waveguide antenna by microwave radiation received by the receiving waveguide antenna through the window in the receiving waveguide antenna.
