Abstract: The aim of the invention is to determine the refractive index and/or compensation of the influence of the refractive index during interferometric length measurement with the aid of an interferometer ( 13, 13' ) impinged upon by at least two measuring beams (v<SUB>2</SUB>, v<SUB>3</SUB>) having at least defined frequencies with an approximately harmonic ratio. Interferometric phases are evaluated for the at least two measuring beams (v<SUB>2</SUB>, v<SUB>3</SUB>) at the outlet of said interferometer. The interferometric phases corresponding to the harmonic ratio of the frequencies of the measuring beams (v<SUB>2</SUB>, v<SUB>3</SUB>) are multiplicated and at least one phase difference of the thus formed phase value is examined. According to the invention, at least one of the measuring beams (v<SUB>3</SUB>) can be modified in the frequency thereof and a control signal which is used to modify the frequency of the measuring beam (v<SUB>3</SUB>) which can be modified in the frequency thereof is formed from the obtained phase difference and the measuring signal controls the frequency in such a manner that the phase difference in zero. It is also possible to determine the refractive index or the length measurement by measuring a frequency difference.

Abstract: A connector comprising an adapter having a threaded bore and a bushing having an external thread and an internal thread. The adapter has a stop on an outer surface to prevent rotation. The bushing is threaded into the adapter bore. A bolt is threaded into a bushing bore using the internal threads. As the bolt is turned the internal threads cause an interference fit between the bolt shank and the threads, temporarily preventing further insertion of the bolt. The bolt is then turned further causing the bushing to unscrew from the adapter toward the mounting surface until the bushing bears upon the mounting surface. The adapter engages with part thereby completely compensating for a gap between the part and a mounting surface. The adapter does not turn through engagement of the stop with an immoveable part. As the bolt is turned further, the sacrificial internal threads are stripped to allow the bolt to be fully torqued into a mounting surface hole.

Abstract: A method of performing a signal enhancement operation on a digital input signal is described. The method produces a best estimate of a true signal which the digital input signal is assumed to represent. The method involves deriving a plurality of candidate mappings, each defining a mapping between the signal domain of the digital input signal and an alternative optimisation domain, each signal in the signal domain corresponding to a set of optimisation parameters in the optimisation domain. For each candidate mapping, an indicator of the quality of the candidate mapping is calculated an a set of optimisation parameters in the optimisation domain of the candidate mapping is generated, the set of optimisation parameters re resenting an enhanced signal in that domain. The highest-quality mapping is then selected in dependence on the calculated indicators, and the set of optimisation parameters generated for the selected mapping is selected. The selected mapping is applied to the selected set of optimisation parameters to produce an enhanced digital signal. The method finds application in a variety of signal processing fields including image processing, and is applicable for exmple, to image processing tasks such as image enhancement or image reconstruction.

Abstract: A method and a device determine an interruption state of a communication connection between a domestic appliance and a controller. The communication connection is between the domestic appliance, optionally connected in a local area network to further domestic appliances, to a bus line configuration, including a bus line controller, by which information about the status of the domestic appliance is transmitted to the bus line controller. A fixed criterion of the domestic appliance is repeatedly requested over time by the bus line controller. On an established communication connection, a reply signal is transmitted. Should no reply signal be transmitted, an interruption in the communication connection is assumed. A search operation is carried out until a reply is obtained from the domestic appliance and than updated status information is transmitted to the bus line controller.
