A data receiver receives at least one signal from a data transmitter and determines therefrom at least one environment parameter of the data transmitter or of an environment of the data transmitter. The data receiver is configured to identify an operational state of the data transmitter or of a component of the data transmitter by comparing the at least one environment parameter so received or an environment parameter profile determined on the basis of the at least one environment parameter, with an environment parameter reference profile which describes an expected environment parameter or an expected environment parameter profile in the environment of the data transmitter.

A method for determining a position of a movable object is disclosed. The method comprises generating an electromagnetic exciter field. The electromagnetic exciter field is configured to excite the movable object to develop a magnetic response field. Further, the method includes determining a plurality of measurement values for the magnetic response field by measuring the magnetic response field at a plurality of predetermined measuring positions. Further, the method includes determining the position of the movable object based on a comparison of the plurality of measurement values with reference measurement values. Here, one position of the movable object is allocated to each of the reference measurement values. Further, the reference measurement values are each determined by a simulation.

Method and device for determining a position of a movable object and system comprising the device

A method for locating an RFID transponder is proposed. The method comprises generating a plurality of measurement signals based on a magnetic field measured by a plurality of sensors. The method further comprises determining a respective degree of correlation for each of the plurality of measurement signals with a reference signal. The reference signal is based on a data sequence assigned to the RFID transponder. In addition, the method comprises determining a position of the RFID transponder based on the degrees of correlation of the plurality of measurement signals.

A method for determining a filling level of a storage container is disclosed. The method comprises generating a magnetic exciter field. The magnetic exciter field is configured to excite a content of the storage container to form a magnetic response field. The method further comprises determining at least one measurement value for the magnetic response field. The method further comprises determining the filling level of the storage container based on a position of the storage container and comparing the at least one measurement value with reference measurement values. One filling level of the storage container is assigned to each of the reference measurement values.

Method and apparatus for determining a fill level of a storage container

A method for determining information on a position of an object, the object emitting a magnetic field in response to an exciting electromagnetic field comprises monitoring () a receive signal of at least one loop antenna, the receive signal having a contribution caused by the emitted magnetic field; determining a first quadrature component () of the receive signal; and determining the information on the position of the object () based on the first quadrature component.

Method, apparatus and computer program for determining information on a position of an object, the object emitting a magnetic field

Embodiments relate to a transmitter and/or a receiver for a system for detecting an event which is triggered by an object crossing a monitored line. The transmitter is configured to successively transmit data packets independently of an occurrence of the event. The receiver is configured to receive successive data packets independently of the occurrence of the event. Each data packet comprises information on a number of events which occurred up to a transmission time of the data packet, wherein the transmission times of successive data packets are each located in a predetermined transmission time period.

Concept for transmitting and/or receiving data packets for a system for detecting an event, corresponding to an object crossing over a monitored line
