    摘要: A system for recognition and/or determination of the volume of bodies or substances made of dielectric and/or conductive material within an interior of a measuring cell in the form of a container, with a conductive and/or non-conductive measuring cell wall that has a surface directed into the interior, includes an ultra broadband microwave unit, and at least one ultra-broadband antenna having at least one disk-shaped carrier substrate which has a first surface facing a first side and a second surface which is opposed to the first surface and forms an outer side of the antenna, wherein the carrier substrate is arranged and intended to replace part of the surface of the measuring cell wall directed into the interior during operation, after fastening the ultra-broadband antenna to the measuring cell, or to extend in the interior at a distance in front of the measuring cell wall, wherein the ultra-broadband antenna includes emitter elements arranged on or in the carrier substrate is set up as an electrically short antenna with an at least substantially hemispherical emission characteristic to cover a volumetric measurement field.

    摘要: A non-rigid airship or hybrid air vehicle has a pressure-stabilised envelope (100) that includes at least one ballonet (102, 103). A system is provided for measuring the geometry of the lifting gas enclosure (101) within the pressure-stabilised envelope (100). The system comprises a plurality of sensors (104, 109) located outside the ballonet(s) but inside the envelope, for measuring the geometry of the enclosure. Some of the sensors (104) are arranged to measure an internal surface of the pressure-stabilised envelope (100), and others of the sensors (109) are arranged to measure an external surface of the at least one ballonet (102, 103).

    摘要: A novel and useful system and method for measuring an article of clothing (AOC) that may include one or more of an apparel expander (AE) having an expansion chamber configured to be inserted into a cavity of the AOC and to receive an operating fluid (OPF), a fluid distribution unit (FDU) coupled to the AE and configured to control a supply of the OPF to, or from, the apparel expander, a sensor configured to detect contours of the AE when at least a portion of the AE is situated within the cavity of the AOC and form corresponding sensor information, and a controller configured to control the FDU to supply the OPF to the AE to expand the AE when at least a portion of the AE is situated within the cavity of AOC, obtain the sensor information from the sensor, reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) model of the AOC based upon the detected contours of the AE obtained from the sensor information, and form digital size information (DSI) including information related to the reconstructed three-dimensional model.

    摘要: Embodiments described herein generally relate to devices, systems and methods for measuring the dose remaining in a drug delivery device that is used for delivering a dose to a patient. In some embodiments, a dose measurement system for measuring the liquid volume in a container includes a plurality of light sources which are disposed and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation toward the container. A plurality of sensors are located in the apparatus that are optically coupleable to the plurality of light sources and are disposed and configured to detect the electromagnetic radiation emitted by at least a portion of the light sources. The apparatus also includes a processing unit configured to receive data representing the portion of the detected electromagnetic radiation from each of the plurality of sensors. The processing unit is further operable to convert the received data into a signature representative of the electromagnetic radiation detected by the plurality of sensors.
