Abstract: The invention relates to a coil apparatus of an oscillation sensor or exciter of a measuring transducer or a measuring device for measuring a density or mass flow of a medium flowing through a measuring tube of the measuring transducer or measuring device, comprising: a circuit board having a circuit board layer, at least one coil registering or producing a time varying magnetic field, wherein the coil has a winding region and a central region lacking turns of a winding, wherein the central region of a coil has a rectangular shape with oppositely lying, first sides and with oppositely lying, second sides, wherein the first sides have a first side length, and wherein the second sides have a second side length, wherein the electrically conductive trace has a trace breadth of at least 30 micrometer, wherein a ratio of first side length to second side length is greater than 3.25.

Abstract: A transponder label has a dielectric spacer body with a first side and a second side and a transponder inlay with a chip and an antenna, wherein the transponder inlay is applied to the spacer body such that a first part of the antenna is arranged on the first side of the spacer body and a second part of the antenna is arranged on the second side of the spacer body. The transponder label further includes a sensor unit electrically coupled to the chip of the transponder inlay and configured to detect a measurement signal representative of a physical and/or chemical environmental parameter.

Abstract: A method and apparatus searches a program for automatic recording according to user preferences, which include entries entered by a user and entries automatically added by the apparatus according to a recording habit of the user. A user can assign a priority to a user entered entry and the apparatus can assign a priority to an automatically entered entry, but the priority of an automatically entered entry can be modified by the user. The apparatus searches program information of programs in an electronic program guide having a match to any of the entries and selects a matched program for automatic recording.

Abstract: A flexible hose user interface is used to promote sophisticated editing of video sequences in an easy manner. The flexible hose allows a user to visualize the effects of cropping on a frame by frame basis. A time axis action identifier aids the user in checking if desired objects are in all frames of the sequence. This is accomplished easily by dragging the time axis identifier through the flexible hose.

Abstract: A method and apparatus searches a program for automatic recording according to user preferences, which include channel names or genres entered by a user and keywords entered by a user. The method and apparatus allows the user to enter a recording score threshold, searches programs in an electronic program guide having a match on one of the entered keywords, channel names, and genres, and for each matched program, computes a match score and if the match score is above the threshold, automatically selects the matched program for automatic recording.

Abstract: In order to provide a method for regulating a reactive power compensator, which is connected to an alternating current line having multiple phases, wherein for each phase an actual voltage V12, V23 and V31 present thereon is detected and from the actual voltages V12, V23 and V31 a counter system actual fraction is calculated. A control circuit suppresses the counter system actual fraction. A feedback loop determines the level of suppression of the counter system actual fraction with the help of controlled parameters. The method enables an adjustment of the counter system that is largely independent from operating staff. Accordingly, a comparator unit compares the counter system actual fraction to the counter system target fraction and defines the controlled parameters as a function of the comparison.

Abstract: A letterbox detector includes a detection module configured to determine aspect ratio changes in an input signal. A transition module is configured to transition between a plurality of display modes associated with the aspect ratio changes. A first display mode to a second display mode transition is performed over a first period of time, and a second display mode to a first display mode is performed gradually over a second period of time, that is different from the first period of time. The letterbox detector may be included in digital and analog displays.
