Abstract: The circuit arrangement comprises a transmitter (3) and a receiver (4), to which a radiation emitted by the transmitter (3) passes back after reflection on an object (7). In an initialisation process which occurs for the first time after the installation and thereafter at greater regular time intervals, the power of the transmitter (3) is increased until the reflection on a stationarily existing object (7) within the detection range leads to the evaluation circuit (5) following the receiver (4) being triggered. The power of the transmitter (3) is then slightly reduced again; the circuit arrangement returns to normal operation. It now has its optimum sensitivity at which stationarily existing objects (7) no longer cause faulty triggering actions but the greatest possible detection range is given for moving objects to be detected.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for obtaining a measurement indicative of the aspect ratio of non-spherical particles in suspension. Conductivity of the suspension is measured for two different orientations of the particles between points (5,6) and the difference between the conductivities measured is used as an indication of the particle aspect ratio. The particle orientation will be aligned in one measurement and in the other may be aligned and transverse to the first orientation direction or random. Alternatively there may be a single aligned orientation but transversely directed conductivity measurements. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An erasable optical disk drive system is disclosed which utilizes an electron trapping media coated on the disk surface to store data in the form of light energy and which utilizes three laser beams, each having a wavelength range distinct from each other as well as distinct from the wavelength range of the emission produced by the impingement of the read laser onto the electron trapping media. Data is written onto the disk, which is contained in a light-tight contamination-free environment, using a visible light laser beam. Data is read from the disk and the disk is erased by using a near infrared light laser beam. The focus and tracking functions of the disk drive system are accomplished by using a laser beam having yet another range of wavelengths, which are greater than those of the visible light laser beam and those of the photon emission from the electron trapping optical memory media, but less than those of the read/erase laser.

Abstract: In communication systems, buffer memory systems are used for transmitting data occurring irregularly in time. These data are collected in memory areas and subsequently transmitted block by block via a data line. The limit capacity of these memory areas is frequently exhausted even though there is still sufficiently free memory space in the buffer memory system. A buffer allocation method which is based on a combination of a fixed and a dynamic buffer allocation method provides remedy in this case. <IMAGE>
