A device for the detection of an at least partial flooding of a motor vehicle. The device includes an ultrasonic sensor that is designed to transmit and to receive ultrasonic signals. The device also includes an electronic recognition device, which can recognize an at least partial flooding of the motor vehicle on the basis of an ultrasonic signal received by the ultrasonic sensor. The recognition device is designed to determine the amplitudes of ultrasonic signals received within a defined time window, and to compare the amplitudes to a defined threshold value. The recognition device is designed to detect a flooding of the ultrasonic sensor as a function of the result of the comparison.

A device and method used to increase the resolution when imaging, measuring and inspecting wells, pipes and objects located therein. The device comprises an array of acoustic transducers that both transmit and receive acoustic signals. Scan lines may be overlapped by interlacing transmission and receiving windows thus increasing either the resolution or logging speed drastically compared to conventional approaches. The sequence of the scan lines making up an imaging frame is created by stratifying physically close lines and randomly selecting from within each stratum, preventing interference from neighboring transducers, signals and acoustic artifacts that fundamentally limit logging speed and resolution using conventional methods.

A method for controlling a sound box, includes: in response to the sound box being in a standby state, emitting an ultrasonic signal, and receiving a reflected ultrasonic signal reflected by an external object; acquiring a moving trajectory of the external object according to the reflected ultrasonic signal; and determining a target operation instruction to be executed according to the moving trajectory of the external object.
