The invention relates to a device () for determining a fertile phase of a woman by ascertaining a COpartial pressure in a respiratory gas of the woman in several consecutive breaths, comprising an inlet for receiving the respiratory gas, and an outlet, a sample chamber (), into which the respiratory gas can be conducted, a measuring module () with a measuring element () with which a COconcentration in the respiratory gas in the sample chamber () can be measured, optionally a pressure sensor () for measuring an air pressure, a processor () for processing measured data obtained by means of the measuring module () and the pressure sensor (), and at least one output unit () for outputting a result of the measured data. So that the method can be carried out by a woman herself quickly and nevertheless with high precision, it is provided according to the invention that the device () is embodied as a hand-held device and an algorithm is stored in the processor (), with which with a measurement based on several immediately consecutive breaths a predetermined reproducibility criterion regarding an end expiratory COpartial pressure of the respiratory gas can be tested, wherein, if the reproducibility criterion is met, the at least one output unit () outputs and/or signals and/or displays whether a fertile phase applies. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for determining a fertile phase of a woman by ascertaining an end expiratory COpartial pressure in a respiratory gas and comparison of the measured data thus obtained with measured data in the follicle phase outside the fertile phase.

A method and a device for optically determining state variables inside a container () for liquefied gases. In the method and device, light emitted by an illumination unit () travels within an optical waveguide () to a contact point () with the content of the container () and is partially reflected there, the intensity of the reflected light is measured by an image sensor (), and a state variable is determined from the intensity. In order to create a comprehensive 'image' of the state variables in the container and of the container content, several optical waveguides () are guided to contact points () which are distributed within the container () and form measurement points (). Locally assigned state variables (refractive index, density, temperature, etc.) of the container content are determined from the measured values obtained at the measurement points () and are evaluated along with the spatial coordinates of the measurement points () in the container ().

The present invention relates to a method for the calibration of a position determination system of a rear axle steering actuator for a motor vehicle. The rear axle steering actuator has an actuator element which can be driven by a rotary movement of a rotor to a translation movement and whose geometrical center position is determined by a reference measurement. The position determination system includes a linear sensor and a rotary sensor. During calibration, a piece of calibration information is generated which includes a piece of zero point information of the linear sensor and a piece of sector information. The measurement range of the rotary sensor is divided into at least two sectors. The sector information identifies that angle at which the angular position of the rotor lies when the actuator element is arranged in its geometrical center position. The calibration information is stored in the linear sensor.
