Abstract: The light gate (1) has pairs of transmitters (3,7) and receivers (5,9) emitting light beams (6) forming a given number of beam axes. When there is not obstruction to be beam the beams from the transmitters hit the respective emitters. A transmitter control unit periodically, individually and consecutively activates the transmitters within given sample cycles. A control unit analyses the reception signals at the outputs of the receivers. Within one sample cycle, interruptions of the beam axes due to the presence of an object (11). In the control unit a predetermined plural number of cycles are analyzed for the appearance of beam interruptions to generate an object detection signal.

Abstract: Dans la technique automobile, on utilise généralement des stations émettrices-réceptrices dans des systèmes de fermeture sans clé comme modules de verrouillage électronique ou unités d'évaluation destinées à l'identification du module de verrouillage. La désactivation du système de fermeture est possible seulement si le module de verrouillage est à proximité de l'unité d'évaluation. Ce nouveau procédé doit permettre la détermination de la distance entre deux stations émettrices-réceptrices avec une haute résolution. Selon le nouveau procédé, un signal d'émission est généré dans chaque station émettrice-réceptrice et un train d'impulsions micro-ondes est émis respectivement à l'autre station émettrice-réceptrice avec une fréquence de répétition d'impulsion prédéterminée. La réunion, dans chaque station émettrice-réceptrice, des impulsions du signal d'émission émis et du signal de réception reçu par la station émettrice-réceptrice concernée, est détectée comme événement de coïncidence et, lors de l'événement de coïncidence, on détermine le nombre des impulsions émises et reçues par la station émettrice-réceptrice concernée. Et finalement, on calcule la distance entre les stations émettrices-réceptrices à partir du nombre d'impulsions déterminé.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for visualizing a sequence of volume images of a moving object. Methods and apparatus of this kind are used in cases where a sequence of three-dimensional volume images is to be rendered as a two-dimensional image, for example, for a viewer. The invention utilizes the fact that usually only the volume values of a part of the voxels are relevant for the derivation of a two-dimensional image from a volume image. In the case of a sequence of volume images of a moving object, the derivations of the two dimensional images can be accelerated by storing the voxels which are relevant for the visualization during the visualization of a first volume image and by deriving the relevant two-dimensional image during the visualization of a second volume image exclusively from the volume values of the stored voxels and from voxels neighboring such stored voxels. The selection of volume values of neighboring voxels for use is dependent on the motion of the object. The voxels of the second volume image which are relevant for the visualization are stored again and used accordingly for the visualization of a third volume image. These steps are repeated accordingly for further volume images of the sequence.
