Abstract
An electro-optical distance measuring system (1, 1') for large measurement ranges having a para-axial arrangement of a beam source (2) with a transmitting optics (3) and a beam receiver, configured as at least one small-area photodiode (4), with an associated receiving optics (5), which contains the processes for signal extension for the lower distance measurement range for distances (X). The beam source (2), the transmitting optics (3), the small-area photodiode (4) and the receiving optics (5) are each oriented with their optical axes (A1, A2) parallel to the measurement light beam (6). The measurement light beam (6) is directed from the transmitting optics (2) to the measurement object and continues to the receiving optics. The beam source (2) and the small-area photodiode (4) are connected rigidly with each other by at least one rigidly connected circuit board (8, 8a, 8b), such that at least the small-area photodiode (4) can electrically conduct and temporarily adjust in a position (9, 9') at least using its electrical contacts (10). The small-area photodiode (4) is fixed directly in the adjusted position (9, 9') on the circuit board (8, 8a, 8b).

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
