Abstract
Abstract A method of and thermograph for producing and displaying thermographic pictures, according to which a plurality of rasters of different fineness are superimposed relative to each other. The thermograh for practicing this method includes a dual raster arrangement for producing rasters of different fineness.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
38 words
A method of producing and displaying thermographic pictures, which includes in combination therewith the step of simultaneously superimposing a plurality of rasters of different fineness relative to each other over the entire width and scope of the picture.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
38 words
A method of producing and displaying thermographic pictures, which includes in combination therewith the step of simultaneously superimposing a plurality of rasters of different fineness relative to each other over the entire width and scope of the picture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
A method in combination according to claim 1, which includes the step of everywhere superimposing both a coarse raster and a fine raster relative to each other simultaneously by producing objects of large three-dimensional size and slight temperature differential by means of the coarse raster, and by producing objects of small three-dimensional size and great temperature differential by means of the fine raster.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A method in combination according to claim 2, which includes the step of respectively reproducing in different color the objects produced by means of a coarse raster and by means of a fine raster.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A thermograph in combination according to claim 3, which on the reproduction side includes a two-beam oscillograph with different three-dimensional resolution on the picture screen (different point size).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A thermograph in combination according to claim 3, which respectively includes luminescence diodes of different sizes for the reproduction in an optically equivalent arrangement for the coarse raster and the fine raster.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
A thermograph in combination according to claim 5, in which said luminescence diodes for said coarse raster and said fine raster respectively have different colors.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A method of producing and reproducing thermographic pictures in combination according to claim 1, which includes the step of electrically producing a dual raster.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
42 words
A method according to claim 7, which includes in combination the steps of combining a plurality of cells to form one group, arranging said cells in parallel for producing a coarse raster, and controlling said cells individually for producing a fine raster.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
74 words
A method according to claim 1, which includes in combination therewith the steps of arranging a plurality of cells along the contour of a square with the length of said square equalling the basic number and so arranging said cells that by means of one control step the coarse raster is electrically produced by arranging said plurality of cells in parallel, and with the other control producing said fine raster by series-scanning said cells.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method according to claim 9, which includes in combination therewith the steps of: effecting said parallel arrangement by an addition amplifier and times elements preceding said amplifiers.
