  • Measuring device and measuring method for determining distance and/or position
    Patent number: 7394527
    Abstract: A measuring device is provided with a signal generator and a signal receiver, which is located at a measurable distance from the signal generator. The signal generator is designed for the emission of at least two signal beams covering in given relationship to each other an area and the signal receiver is designed for the time-resolved reception of the signal beams in such a manner that the generator-receiver distance can be determined from the time signature of the signal beam reception.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2006
    Date of Patent: July 1, 2008
    Assignee: AndroTec GmbH
    Inventors: Mirko Essling, Michael Kasper, Klaus-Werner Joerg

  • Non-intrusive state observation of VLSI circuits using thermal actuation
    Patent number: 5990691
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is set forth including a plurality of circuit elements interconnected by conductors and at least one resistive element operably connected to a location within the circuit. Upon an event occurring at the location, such as the activation of a circuit element, current is passed through the resistive element thereby elevating the temperature of the resistive element to cause incandescence so as to permit optical detection of the event.
