The medical apparatus has lines that are connected to the vascular system of a patient. To ensure that an accidental escape of blood is identified, a camera is provided and is directed at the extracorporeal blood circuit of the patient. The image signals from the camera are processed in the sense that the color of blood and/or its arrangement in the image area in the camera image is determined, wherein the size of the recorded image area with the color of blood is also evaluated. In this way, an extracorporeal blood loss can be detected and signaled automatically.

A railway positioning system provides an on-board speed measurement device () inducing eddy currents in the wayside structure at two spots along the travelling direction, measuring the variations of the magnetic field emitted by the wayside structure and determining position and speed by correlating themeasured signals known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,825,177 and a wayside coded tag () providing a coding recognizable by the onboard speed measurement device (). The coded tag () consists of a bar () with several slots () in which metal blocks () of different sizes are mounted. The block sizes and positions are selected to represent a coding according to Quadrature Amplitude Modulation.
