    摘要: In a method of producing a printed circuit winding for a screened inductance sensor, a winding shape for a two-pole planar linear geometry is first of all computed. The shape of this winding is selected to provide an output in accordance with a specified transfer function for the sensor. The computed planar linear winding shape is then transformed to, typically, polar coordinates to provide a winding shape suitable for a rotary planar geometry. The method is carried out using a computer and the transformed winding shape is output to provide the printed circuit artwork. The method is especially suited to producing printed circuit windings for screened inductance level gauges, especially level gauges for fuel tanks where a physical barrier is interposed between the movable screen and the windings of the transducer. The method may also be applied to the design of concentric turn windings providing a similar output to that from an equivalent distributed winding in which the turns are displaced in the direction of relative screen and sense winding movement.

    摘要: In a screened inductance sensor system having a drive winding (18) energisable to set up an alternating magnetic drive field, a sense winding (20) links the drive field and a screening element (13) modulates the spatial distribution of the drive field, when in the vicinity of the sense winding (20). Variations in voltage induced in the sense winding (20) provide an indication of the relative position of the screening element (13) and the sense winding (20). The drive winding (18) and the sense winding (20) are accommodated in a displaceable portion (15) of the sensor, and the screening element (13) is fixedly located relative to the movable sensor portion (15). Modulation of the spatial distribution of the drive field occurs when the displaceable sensor portion (15) is moved into the vicinity of the screening element (13). In application of the system to control of vehicles (12) following a predetermined path, fixed screening elements (13) may be located at spaced apart intervals along the path, where the vehicles (12) are on tracks, to provide locational signals according as the vehicles (12) pass these fixed screens. The system may also be applied to providing guidance and position information for a steerable vehicle, in which case two sense windings are used, one responsive to sidewise deviation from the intended path of travel, and the other sense winding providing a cycled output signal, which is counted to yield a measure of distance travelled.

    摘要: In a sensor having a drive winding (121) for establishing a forward field, an electrically conductive screen (123) is displaceable relative to a sense winding (122). In the presence of the drive field, eddy currents are generated in the screen to establish a counter-field opposing the forward field, so that the sense winding is shaded by the screen to a varying extent during relative displacement of screen and sense winding and the voltage induced in the sense winding is accordingly correspondingly varied. Application of a high frequency input to the drive winding (121) results in a modulated output from the sense winding (122) which may be demodulated to provide a signal indicative of screen position relative to sense winding. The position signal may be further processed to provide a speed signal. The sensor may assume a multiplicity of linear or planar, rotational and axial or solenoidal configurations.

    摘要: In a power supply system, an inductance L is connected between a rail at a voltage V, and a rail at earth through a switch S. When the switch is opened, a current i 1 flowing from the inductance L is directed to a third rail through a diode D, voltage on the third rail rising to V 1 . The system may function as a dc to dc converter with an output voltage between the V 1 rail and the V 2 rail equal to V 2 -V 1 . The system may alternatively be used in, for example, a reluctance motor drive, in which case a further inductance with associated switch and diode is included in the circuit in inverse configuration to prevent excessive voltage rise on the third rail.
