Various embodiments include a method for controlling a level crossing having barriers and signals comprising establishing a duration of a level crossing closure based at least in part on first signals caused by a first ultrasonic wave conducted in a first rail running over the level crossing and second signals caused by an ultrasonic wave conducted in a second rail running over the level crossing.

Detection for localizing at least one particle moving in a flow includes emitting a transmission signal by a transmitter, and receiving a reflected reception signal. The reflected reception signal is frequency and phase modulated in comparison with the transmission signal. The reflected reception signal is convolved with at least one kernel representative of a conjugate estimated channel pulse response. A reconstructed particle position function is formed, and the position of the particle is determined from the reconstructed particle position function.

A system and method for determining the relative position of stations through radio location is proposed. In one aspect, a station is configured as an apparatus having at least one antenna. At least one first station has at least one first antenna, and at least one second station has at least two base-modulated antennas.

An arrangement to measure deflection of a blade of a wind turbine is provided. A transmitter is arranged close to the tip end of the blade, while a receiver is arranged close to the root end of the blade. The transmitter and receiver are prepared for a wireless transfer of a monitoring signal, which is sent from the transmitter to the receiver. A monitoring system is arranged close to the root end of the blade. The monitoring system is adapted to generate the monitoring signal. The monitoring system is connected with the transmitter by a cable-bound communication line, thus the monitoring signal is transferred from the monitoring system to the transmitter. The monitoring system is connected with the receiver, thus the monitoring signal is transferred from the receiver to the monitoring system. The monitoring system is adapted to determine the deflection of the blade based on the transferred monitoring signal.

A method and an arrangement for determining the delay of a signal between a first station and a second station of the arrangement, with the aim of determining the spatial distance between the stations. A first series of first signal pulses is generated in the first station at a first pulse repetition rate f. A second and a third series of second and third signal pulses is generated in the second station, comprising a second fand third pulse repetition rate f, where f=f+&#x394;f and f=f&#x2212;&#x394;f. The second and third series of second and third signal pulses are transmitted to the first station, where the series are correlated with the first series of first signal pulses. The delay of the signal can be determined from the time elapsed between two successive pulses of the signal arising from the correlation.

An arrangement for detecting bending deflection of a wind turbine blade is provided. The arrangement for the wind turbine includes a radio transmitter and a linear antenna array assigned to the radio transmitter. The radio transmitter is mounted on the blade tip and emits a signal. The antenna array is mounted on the rotor of the wind turbine in a co-rotating manner and receives the signal. On the basis of the transit times of the signal from the rotor to the individual antennas of the array, the position of the radio transmitter relative to the array is determined. In the event of blade deflection, for example when a high wind load is present, the relative position changes which is detected by the arrangement.
