Abstract: Disclosed is an arrangement for detection by a touch-sensitive sensor matrix, comprising an electrically conductive structure, the structure having an annular touch surface and a marker, and an electrically insulating substrate material on which the structure is applied or in which the structure is embedded. Also disclosed is a method for detecting the arrangement on a touch-sensitive sensor matrix, a method for manufacturing the arrangement, a method for manufacturing a group of arrangements, and a system comprising the arrangement.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control and processing unit for a touch-sensitive screen and comprises a communication unit and a memory. The control and processing unit is configured for receiving first sensor data which is generated by way of capacitive sensors of the touch-sensitive screen, for receiving second sensor data which is transferred from an input unit to the control and processing unit, wherein the second sensor data comprises data of a sensor of the input unit, said sensor being designed to detect a putting-down of the input unit, and for examining, on the basis of a temporal sequence of the first and second sensor data, whether a putting-down of the input unit has been detected simultaneously with the placing of an object with a conductive structure onto the touch-sensitive screen, in order to ascertain whether the input unit has been put down on the touch-sensitive screen. The invention further relates to a system with such a control and processing unit, as well as to a method for use.

Abstract: Method for operation of a strap-down ship's gyro compass for optimal calculation of position and course angle on a ship, with three rotational rate sensors each mutually aligned to each other at a right angle, and two nominally horizontally aligned orthogonal acceleration sensors, without required specification of the geographic latitude and/or of the speed of the ship, characterized by the steps: a. Preparation of a set of dynamic equations based on the angular velocity components detected by the rotational rate sensor, b. Preparation of a measured data equation based on the force components detected by the acceleration sensors, c. Determination of the properties of the lever arm between the strap-down ship's gyro compass and the point of rotation of the ship, and d.

Abstract: The invention relates to an input element (1) for a touch-sensitive screen (20), comprising a first communication unit (4) for communicating with a control and processing unit (30); at least two touch surfaces (5) which are detectable by the touch-sensitive screen (20); and an acceleration sensor (10) for detecting an acceleration of the input element (1). The invention further relates to a method as well as a computer program for recognising an input element on a touch-sensitive screen.
