A tachometer sensor adapted for measuring the rotation of a gear or spline shaft target within a high pressure environment includes an integrally formed housing having a generally tubular elongate probe defining a sealed interior cavity receiving an annular permanent magnet at the sensing end thereof, field focusing means such as a ferrous pin disposed concentrically with the permanent magnet to shape the field established thereby, at least one magnetoresistive transducer concentrically disposed with the magnet to detect distortions of the magnetic field effected by passage of the target and means in-circuit with the transducer which generates a usable output signals as a function of sensed magnet field distortion.

The present invention is a shaft position sensor for detection of the position of a multiturn shaft. The rotation of the multiturn shaft is converted into a linear motion via a multiturn screw and a nonrotating nut. A magnet is mounted on the nonrotating nut. The linear movement of the magnet is converted into an electrical signal using one or more magneto resistive structures. A pair of flux plates is disposed on either side of the linear path of the magnet with at least one narrow gap opposite one end of the linear path of the magnet. A single magneto resistive structure is disposed in each such narrow gap. An electrical circuit measures the resistance of the one or more magneto resistive structures, this resistance varying with magnetic flux, and generates an electrical position signal which indicates the rotary position of the multiturn shaft. Linearity in response can be provided by a flux shunt which blocks magnetic flux directly from the magnet, control of the distance of the flux plates from the linear path of the magnet, or varying the magnetic permeability of the flux plates with position along the linear path, for example, by varying the thickness of the flux plates.

An appliance system that includes an appliance group containing at least two appliances, a first appliance designed to perform a first consumer function related to the first appliance and a second appliance that is separate from the first appliance and designed to perform a second consumer function related to the second appliance. The appliance system also includes a thermal energy generator, typically a heat pump, where the thermal energy heats at least one thermal energy bearing fluid and is operably connected to the first and second appliances to deliver thermal energy to the first and second appliances simultaneously or at different times via one or more of the thermal energy bearing fluids.

An electric vehicle drive includes a thermal support may receive one or more power electronic circuits. The support may aid in removing heat from the circuits through fluid circulating through the support. Power electronic circuits are thermally matched, such as between component layers and between the circuits and the support. The support may form a shield from both external EMI/RFI and from interference generated by operation of the power electronic circuits. Features may be provided to permit and enhance connection of the circuitry to external circuitry, such as improved terminal configurations. Modular units may be assembled that may be coupled to electronic circuitry via plug-in arrangements or through interface with a backplane or similar mounting and interconnecting structures.

A magnetic flux concentrator comprising spaced pole pieces (4,6) and magnetic shunt (8) bridging the pole pieces within an insulating housing (2) which also contains a magnetoresistive transducer (24) and electronic circuitry (26) for sensing magnetic field intensity between the pole pieces and relating that intensity as electric signals provided at wiring terminals (28) at the exterior of the housing. The pole pieces have magnetic terminal portions adjacent openings in the housing for removable attachment thereto of selected ferrous strap configurations (42,50,52,60) determined by the cross-sectional shape of the electrical conductor (46) in which current flow is to be measured, the respective strap configuration and flux concentrator forming a magnetic loop around the conductor for picking up the magnetic flux induced by current flow in the conductor.
