The present invention relates to a method for graphically displaying a sectional image of an object under examination () having objects () situated therein, in particular for the display of a sectional image of a building wall. The invention provides that the sectional image with the objects () situated in the object under examination () is displayed already while data acquisition by the position detector () is taking place.

Locating device and corresponding method

A marking device, in particular a hand-held marking tool for positioning markings, comprises first means () which make it possible to position the device () in a predefinable first position of a reference surface (), and second means () for leveling the device () relative to the reference surface (), as well as a tracking system () for determining a distance covered by the device () relative to the first position of the device. The tracking system () detects the movement of the measuring instrument () on the reference surface () in two orthogonal directions ().

Marking device

A handheld device. In particular a locating device, includes a housing (), which is movable with a handle unit () over a surface of an item being examined and which has a sensor unit () for picking up a first motion parameter. At least one second motion parameter can be detected with the sensor unit ().

Handheld locating device with a sensor for detecting motion parameters

In a method for locating objects enclosed in a medium, a detection signal is generated by at least one capacitive sensor. The detection signal penetrates the medium that is to be analyzed in such a way that information is obtained about the objects that are enclosed in the medium by evaluating the detection signal, particularly by measuring impedance. In order to evaluate the detection signal, an algorithm is used that separates the measured signal into signal parts originating from the enclosing medium and signal parts originating from the object enclosed in the medium. A measuring device carries out the inventive method.

Method and measuring appliance for locating enclosed objects

A method for locating objects enclosed in a medium, according to which a detection signal is generated by at least one capacitive sensor device, the detection signal penetrating the medium that is to be analyzed in such a way that information is obtained about an object that is enclosed in the medium by evaluating the detection signal, particularly by measuring impedance, wherein, to obtain depth information about the object that is enclosed in the medium, an algorithm is used to evaluate the detection signal that calculates a compensation for drift effects of the capacitive sensor device that is generating the detection signal.
