摘要: A debris monitor apparatus and method using the Faraday Effect to detect accumulation of debris on a magnetic probe is disclosed. The probe (10) contains a magnet (16) and is immersible in the fluid. As debris accumulates on the probe, the magnetic field changes. An optical sensor including magneto-optic material (22) is located within a portion of the changeable magnetic field, preferably near a node of the magnet. Optical fibers (28,30) are provided to bi-directionally address the magneto-optic material (22) with linearly polarized light. Rotation of the light polarization angle is converted into a modulation of the light's intensity. An electro-optic transducer converts the light intensity into electrical signals that indicate the quantity of debris accumulation on the probe, with a differentiated value of these signals with respect to time yielding rate of debris accumulation on the probe. Means are provided to calculate a ratio defined by the difference over sum of two bi-directionally transmitted pulses to provide a self-referenced output dependent only on the change in magnetic field caused by accumulation of debris on the probe. The changed magnetic field provides an inherent real-time memory of the accumulation of debris on the probe, which also permits multiplexed data collection.

摘要: Fluid level sensing apparatus for detecting the fluid level in a container. The apparatus comprises a housing adapted to be disposed in the container; a float with an associated magnetic element, where the position of the float in the container corresponds to the fluid level in the container. A magnetostrictive sensor (12) and a stick gauge are also disposed inside the housing. The sensor (12) is coupled to a control circuit (40) which includes a circuit (44) that receives electromagnetic energy (32) from a remote unit (34). In addition, the control circuit (40) includes a circuit for detecting a signal from the sensor (50) and a circuit (54) for emitting electromagnetic energy (36) having a characteristic that is variable and dependent on the fluid level in the container to a remote location (34). The information received at the remote locat ion (34) may be displayed on a screen (38) or at another suitable operator interface (64).
