A hand tool device comprises a computation unit and at least one locating device that is configured to receive a locating signal having a circularly polarized component. The computation unit is configured to ascertain a piece of position information of a locatable object from the circularly polarized part of the locating signal.

Hand tool device having at least one locating device

A motion detector and method of operating the motion detector including an antenna configured to transmit radio frequency (RF) signals and receive reflected RF signals. The motion detector also includes a controller configured to generate a notification when a target object is detected and an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) electrically coupled to the antenna and the controller. The ASIC is configured to generate and send the RF signals to the antenna and to receive the reflected RF signals via the antenna. The ASIC also receives at least one control parameter from the controller and sends an output signal to the controller indicative of motion of a target object based on the at least one control parameter and the reflected RF signals.

ASIC implemented motion detector

A hand tool device comprises a computing unit and at least one locating device configured to receive two orthogonal polarization directions of at least one reflected locating signal. The computing unit is configured to determine, from two received polarization directions of the reflected locating signal, an item of orientation information of a concealed, elongate object.
