  • Publication number: 20230314233
    Abstract: A method and device for contactless measurement of a temperature, in particular pyrometer, preferably 1-point pyrometer. The measuring device (1) has a camera (4) for recording an image (7?) of an environment (7) of a measurement spot (9) and a processor for ascertaining and outputting, in particular displaying, a location of the measurement spot in the image. For the temperature measurement, an environment (7) of a measurement spot (9) is recorded as an image and a location of the measurement spot (9) in the environment (7) is calculated and output in the image (7?).

  • Patent number: 11576274
    Abstract: A device (1) for the detecting and registering of measurement data, having a first housing (2) in which electronics (7) are arranged, and having at least one sensor (14), which is electrically connected to the electronics (7). The first housing (2) includes at least two housing parts (3, 4), having at least one metallic connection site and being joined together at the connection site by a gas-tight metal/metal connection. The at least one sensor (13) is arranged in a second housing (11), which encloses the first housing (2) substantially entirely, and which includes at least two housing parts (12, 15), which are detachably joined together or can be so joined.

  • Patent number: 11346802
    Abstract: To increase the measuring precision of an electric measuring assembly (1) for capacitively measuring a liquid, an inner electrode (2) and an outer electrode (3) arranged concentrically to the inner electrode is provided, in which a shielding electrode (5) is arranged between the outer electrode (3) and the inner electrode (2). The potential of the shielding electrode (5) can be actively adjusted to the potential of the inner electrode (2) by a corresponding electric connection such that electric fields which are caused by dielectric displacements in parasitic capacitances are effectively shielded from the inner electrode (2) and thus from the capacitance to be measured. For this purpose, a two-part design of the inner electrode (2) is provided with sections (6) and (7) which can be moved axially relative to each other.

  • Patent number: 11287393
    Abstract: A frying oil and/or frying fat sensor (1) for determining a frying oil and/or frying fat quality, having a conductor structure (2) that is fixedly connected, at a proximal end, to an electronics part (5), wherein the conductor structure (2) has an inner conductor (6) and an outer conductor (7) that are arranged coaxially with respect to one another and are both connected fixedly to the electronics part at the proximal end. The inner conductor (6), at at least one free end, is guided so as to be able to move relative to the outer conductor (7) in the axial direction in order to compensate temperature-induced mechanical stresses.

  • Patent number: 11079349
    Abstract: In an electrical measuring assembly (1), in which an inner electrode (2) and an outer electrode (3), which form a measuring chamber (4) therebetween for a capacitive examination of a liquid flowing past, are formed from a food-safe stainless steel, the inner electrode (2) is supported at the axial ends (6, 7) thereof on the outer electrode (3) by insulating elements (10, 11), which are produced from a ceramic material or plastic material that can be machined and/or that has a permittivity that is temperature-independent in a working range and/or that is free of pores and/or does not absorb water.
