Abstract: The invention relates to a wooden floor, consisting of a hardenable adhesive (12) which is painted onto a floor base (10) in a continuous layer, and covering elements (16) consisting of wood or a wood material that are joined to the adhesive in its entirety by their surface (14) to be glued. According to the invention, the adhesive layer (12) has a thickness of 0.5 to 5 mm and the combined tension and shear strength of the adhesive (12), in its hardened state, is les than that of the floor base (10) and is at most 1.2 N/mm2, in order to obtain a floor covering with excellent dimensional stability.

Abstract: The phase of a transmitted signal is regulated in a device which is part of a system for electromagnetic signal transmission. The transmitted signal has periods when it contains information and periods when it does not contain information. The modulation position of a phase shifter which has a linear and a non-linear range is controlled. Power of the signal is amplified. Unwanted phase shifts in the signal transmitted by the device caused within the power amplifier are detected, and the information content of the signal is detected. The phase shifter is reset to a particular predetermined modulation position in the event of detection of the absence of information in the signal. The predetermined modulation position to which the phase shifter is reset is preferably situated within the linear range of the phase shifter.

Abstract: The difference in phase between a first and a second electrical signal at substantially the same frequency is detected in an interval of 360.degree.. Both the first and the second signals are used as input signals to a first and a second device unambiguous detection of phase differences in an interval of 180.degree., and one input signal to the first detection device is phase-shifted ninety degrees. The output signal from the first phase detection device is used in order to indicate whether the output signal from the second phase detection device corresponds to a phase difference that is greater or smaller than 180.degree.. Also, the output signal from the second phase device is used in order to produce, with the aid of the output signal from the first phase detection device, an output signal that indicates unambiguously, in an interval of 360.degree., the value of the phase difference between the first and the second input signal.
