  • Patent number: 9778082
    Abstract: A method and device for determining a velocity of a flowing medium that allows an as high as possible measuring accuracy without requiring a complicated measuring construction is achieved in that a vortex is generated in the medium and an electromagnetic signal is emitted into the medium. Then, the permittivity of the medium is determined and the velocity of the medium is determined using the permittivity measurement.

  • Patent number: 8011241
    Abstract: A level meter employs the radar concept for measuring the fill level of a medium in a container and incorporates an electric conductor system for conducting an electromagnetic signal into the container and returning reflected components of the electromagnetic signal from the container. Here, the electric conductor assembly is integrated into a wall of the container. The result is a universally employable electric conductor assembly so configured as to be unobstructed by built-in structures in the container such as agitators, intake pipe fittings or discharge connectors.
