Inventor: STEINLECHNER SIEGBERT
IPC: B60Q1/52
Filed: 1996-07-25
Abstract: A process for measuring the visual range, useful in particular for motor vehicles, has the following steps: a space-limited and/or time-limited light signal is emitted as a light beam (3); the backscattered light from the emitted light signal is received by scanning a first zone (14) covered by the light beam; the backscattered light from the emitted light signal is received by scanning at least a second zone (15) covered by the light beam which is not identical to the first zone (14); the two backscattered light scanning results are compared and the visual range is determined on the basis of the comparison result.

Title: Trap for voles and other small animals
Inventor: NIEMEYER HANS DR
IPC: A01M23/08
Filed: 1996-09-19
Abstract: The trap comprises a flap (3) of wire bars hung from a metal clip (1) clamped from the outside onto a pipe end. The clip has an eyelet (2) at each free end which in the useful position are inside the pipe (7) with the topmost cross bar (6) of the flap pushed through the eyelets as a rotary axle.
