    摘要: A method and apparatus for providing information from a speed and direction sensor is disclosed. The method and apparatus detect the presence of a ferromagnetic object as it moves past a sensor. The sensor determines speed and direction information regarding the ferromagnetic object, and further provides information relating to the environment surrounding the sensor or object, such as the status of an air gap between the sensor and the moving object, and the temperature of the environment in which the sensor or object is disposed.

    摘要: A detector for detecting passing magnetic articles including a magnetic-field-to-voltage transducer having an output at which an analog voltage Vsig is generated, with the Vsig voltage being commensurate to the strength of the ambient magnetic field and having at least one peak. An analog-to-digital converter coupled to the output of the transducer is operative to convert to a corresponding digital signal at least a portion of the Vsig voltage, which portion includes the peak and a circuit coupled to the analog-to-digital converter is operative to generate an output signal indicative of the occurrence of the times t.sub.xpk when the difference between Vsig and said peak of Vsig has exceeded a predetermined amount.

    摘要: In a proximity-detector, a Hall transducer produces a signal Vsig. Two counters, P-counter and N-counter count pulses from a clock and produce count signals respectively to two DACs, PDAC and NDAC. The DACs output signals track and hold, respectively, the positive pulses and negative pulses in Vsig. These output signals are compared with Vsig to produce a proximity-detector binary output voltage Vout that becomes high when a tracking voltage V.sub.DAC-P produced by PDAC rises to each peak positive voltage V.sub.pk in Vsig, and that becomes low when a tracking voltage V.sub.DAC-P falls to each peak negative voltage in Vsig. The peak V.sub.DAC-P is held until Vsig drops by a fixed amount below V.sub.pk to produce an output pulse that resets the counter connected to PDAC at a time shortly following the actual peak in Vsig. Similarly, the peak V.sub.DAC-N is held until Vsig rises a fixed amount above V.sub.DAC-N to produce an output pulse that resets the counter connected to NDAC. The N-counter is reset at t.sub.npk by the negative-peak indicating signal V.sub.Ncomp and is enabled at t.sub.ppk by the positive-peak indicating signal V.sub.Pcomp, while the P-counter reset by the positive peak indicating signal V.sub.Pcomp and enabled by V.sub.Ncomp. This proximity detector detects articles passing at rates down to zero.

    摘要: An electrical power controller includes an integrated circuit having a Hall element, a Hall voltage amplifier, a ramp signal generator, and a voltage comparator. The output of the ramp generator is connected to one input of the voltage comparator and the output of the Hall voltage amplifier is connected to the outer comparator input. During intervals when the amplified Hall voltage exceeds the ramp voltage, the output of the comparator changes from one binary state to the other such that a stream of pulses is generated at the output of the comparator. Thus as a magnetic field at the Hall element increases, the Hall voltage increases and the width of each pulse in the stream of pulses grows proportionally. Mechanical means is provided for manually moving and guiding the pole of a magnet along a path toward the integrated circuit. Constructions of such controllers adapted for use as lamp dimmers and DC motor speed controllers are described.
