Title: Method and device for extracting a signal identifier, method and device for creating a database from signal identifiers and method and device for referencing a search time signal

Abstract: In a method of extracting a signal identifier from a time signal, the temporal occurrence of signal edges in the time signal is detected (12), wherein a signal edge has a specified temporal length. In addition, the temporal interval between two selected detected signal edges is determined (14). From the temporal interval determined, a frequency value is calculated (16), the frequency value being associated with a time of occurrence of the frequency value in the time signal so as to obtain a coordinate tuple from the frequency value and the time of occurrence for this frequency value. A signal identifier is created from a plurality of coordinate tuples (18), each coordinate tuple including a frequency value and a time of occurrence, which is why the signal identifier includes a sequence of signal identifier values reproducing the temporal form of the time signal. The extracted signal identifier is based on signal edges of the time signal and thus reproduces the temporal form of the time signal. The signal identifier is therefore characteristic of the time signal, on the one hand, and robust towards changes in the time signal, on the other hand.

Abstract: The washing machine has a drum, which rotates inside a fixed suds container about an axis that rises toward the loading opening. Scooping devices mounted on the drum scoop suds onto the laundry with a scooping power that depends on the direction of rotation of the drum. In the scooping direction, the scooping devices uniformly wet the articles to be washed with the suds. During the wet treatment phase the drum is operated in alternating directions of rotation and with a speed that changes according to the direction of rotation for a respectively limited duration that can be varied in both directions of rotation. During the entire wet treatment phase the drum is driven in the scooping direction with equal time intervals and with uniform setpoint speed. The speed and the duration of the time intervals vary counter to the scooping direction along a wetting phase, a washing phase, and a rinsing phase.
