  • Publication number: 20110161019
    Abstract: A fill level measuring device working with microwaves according to the travel time principle for measuring fill level of a fill substance in a container. Measurements are performable at two markedly different frequencies with a single antenna. The device includes: a transmitting and receiving system for producing a higher frequency microwave signal and a lower frequency microwave signal. The transmitting and nereceiving system includes a single antenna, which has an internally funnel shaped horn and two hollow conductor segments connected with one another and connected to the horn. The antenna additionally includes, a coaxial conductor connection, via which the antenna is fed with the lower frequency microwave signal and the associated lower frequency echo signal is received.

  • Publication number: 20110053772
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is a process for the preparation of particles which comprise two agrochemical active ingredients in amorphous form, where a melt comprising the two molten agrochemical active ingredients is emulsified in an aqueous solution and cooled. A further object is the use of an agrochemical active ingredient for inhibiting the crystallization of another agrochemical active ingredient in a preparation process for particles which comprise the two agrochemical active ingredients in amorphous form, where a melt comprising the two molten agrochemical active ingredients is emulsified in an aqueous solution and cooled. A further object is particles which comprise two agrochemical active ingredients in amorphous form. The use in plant protection is also described.

  • Patent number: 7861600
    Abstract: An apparatus for ascertaining and/or monitoring fill level and/or flow of a medium in a containment, including: at least one antenna, which radiates and/or receives high frequency signals according to a predetermined radiation characteristic along a main radiating axis in the direction of the surface of the medium; a control/evaluation unit, which evaluates the reflected high frequency signals and determines fill level on the basis of the travel time of the high frequency signals and/or flow on the basis of a Doppler frequency of the reflected high frequency signals; and at least one lens located between the antenna and the medium and having a first focal length in the direction of the antenna and a second focal length in the direction of the medium.
