Abstract: A leakage monitoring system is provided for space-enclosing objects, such as pipes, hoses or containers having an exterior wall. The leakage monitoring system includes at least one electrically conductive element that acts as a leakage sensor and is mounted on the exterior wall or integrated therein. In order to make simple and reliable monitoring of imminent or already occurring leakages possible, even for extensive wall regions, and specifically in as universal a manner as possible for different types of media, the electrically conductive element is a component of a measuring bridge which contains a device for evaluating the bridge voltage and which is powered by a voltage source has an operating voltage containing both AC voltage components and DC voltage components.

Abstract: A monitoring system for an inner area of a machine includes a radar source radiating or injecting radar radiation into the inner area and a radar receiver receiving radar radiation reflected in the inner area and emitting the reflected radar radiation as a received signal. A control and evaluation unit determines an actual signature from the received signal and compares the actual signature to a stored nominal signature representing a fault-free machine. An output unit outputs a fault error signal when a discrepancy between the actual signature and the nominal signature exceeds a tolerance value.
