  • Optical sensor device with a transmission unit, with a receiving unit, and with an evaluation unit for scanning the received signal at at least one scanning point in its rising and/or falling flank
    Patent number: 11525893
    Abstract: An optical sensor device has a transmission unit for emitting light, a receiving unit for light emitted by the transmission unit, and an evaluation unit for evaluating a receive signal, which is based on the received light, wherein the emitted light is designed as a light pulse which is based on a transmission signal, which has a signal shape with a rising and/or falling flank, wherein the receive signal has substantially the same signal shape as the transmission signal, wherein the evaluation unit is suitable for scanning the receive signal at at least one scanning point in its rising and/or falling flank.

  • Method and circuit arrangement for the activation and parameterization of an electrical device
    Patent number: 10062532
    Abstract: A method for the activation of an electrical device (50), which comprises at least one electrical component (30) whose values are mechanically variable by rotating or displacing is characterized by the following steps: at least one first and one second threshold value are predetermined, which are adjustable by rotating, touching, displacing or other manipulations; a time window starts after reaching the first threshold value by manipulation of the electrical component (30); if the second threshold value is reached by manipulation of the electrical component (30) within the time window, an activation signal is output; and if the second threshold value is not reached within the predeterminable time window by manipulation of the electrical component (30), the activation process is terminated.
