  • Patent number: 7812298
    Abstract: The invention relates to a photomultiplier (10) with a fastening device, where the photomultiplier (10) has a solid cylindrical body, particularly a glass body (11), and a tubular jacket, a light inlet (12) on the front end and connecting contacts (14) on the back end, and where the fastening device has a socket (20) on the front end and a plug contact (30) resting on the connecting contacts (14) on the back end, and where a force-fitting and form-fitting connection is produced between the plug contact (30) and the socket (20) by means of a connecting component (40).

  • Patent number: 6806824
    Abstract: A radar fill level measurement sensor for measuring the level of material in a container, includes a transmit/receive circuit that transmits an electromagnetic pulse, and detects reflected electromagnetic pulses and provides an intermediate frequency signal indicative of the reflected electromagnetic pulses. A logarithm detector circuit receives the intermediate frequency signal and provides a logarithmic output signal indicative of the logarithm of the intermediate frequency signal. An evaluation unit receives and processes the logarithmic output signal, to determine the fill level of the material within the container, and provides a fill level measurement signal indicative thereof.
