A capacitive measuring sensor which detects changes in an angle of electrode surfaces arranged at an acute angle to one another. The sensor outputs capacitive changes as a sensor signal. The sensor is preferably elongated and has at its end regions two fastening elements for connection to a body to be measured, two capacitor electrodes and two fastening elements. Changes in the angle of the capacitor electrodes is effected by displacement between the fastening points on the object to be measured.

Capacitive measuring sensor and method for operating same

Strand-shaped winding material is continuously supplied to a coil, whereby the position of the winding material is observed with at least one video camera, whereby the data about the wrapping obtained in this way are conducted to a computer unit that initiates a corresponding readjustment. With reference to the coil axis and as seen in radial direction, the position of the apexes of the turns is identified for at least respectively two turns of the new winding ply, and, given a deviation of these apexes from a rated value, a readjustment is implemented in the delivery of the winding material.

Method and device for winding strand-shaped winding material onto a coil

A method and apparatus for generating three-dimensional range images of spatial objects, wherein a short-time illumination of the object is performed, for instance using laser diodes. An image sensor is used that has a high light sensitivity, pixel resolution and can be read out randomly, this sensor also having an integration time that can be adjusted for each pixel. By evaluating the backscattered laser pulses in two integration windows with different integration times and by averaging over several laser pulses, three-dimensional range images can be picked up with a high reliability in, for example, 5 ms at the most.
