Disclosed is a rotational speed sensor comprising a rotatable ring, e.g. connectable to a bearing. The rotational speed sensor has K magnetic pole pairs distributed angularly over the rotatable ring. Also, sensor means are present positioned relative to the rotatable ring such that a varying magnetic field is detected by the sensor means. The sensor means comprise a first pair of magnetic sensors, the first pair of magnetic sensors being positioned 2πL/K radians apart from each other. The sensor means may further comprise a second pair of magnetic sensors, the second pair of sensors being positioned 2πM/K radians apart from each other. The first pair of sensors and second pair of sensors are positioned at a relative position of (2π/K)*((2n−1)/2) radians.
摘要:
A device for measuring the speed of an object. The device includes a spatial filter scheme to provide quick-response photodetectors and an efficient use of light. The device projects light onto the object by a light source 1, and the light reflected by the object is received by a lens. This light passes through aperture stop 4 and strikes prism array 7, where it is split alternately into two paths at a fixed pitch with respect to the optical axis. The two split beams are received respectively by two photodetectors. The speed of the object moving relative to the measuring device can be calculated based on the data collected by photodetectors.

A device for determining the velocity of a longitudinally traveling textile material, especially a yarn, using the closed-loop correlation of a transit time correlator in such a way that its reliability is improved. At least one sensor g.sub.1 consists of two signal receivers disposed one behind the other in the running direction of the yarn, having a sensor output characteristic curve with the intersection of the abscissa in the effective sensor center axis, and wherein the output characteristic curve shows a point-symmetrical behavior at least in the vicinity of the intersection with the abscissa. A second sensor g.sub.2 has a steady state output characteristic curve in the area of its effective sensor center axis. The control loop circuit of the transit time correlator is designed such that the undifferentiated cross-correlation function is used as the controller input signal for determining and readjusting the adjustment point for the model delay time .tau.. Optionally, the output characteristic curves of the sensors have amplified outputs. The determination of the adjustment point and the stability of the control loop circuit can be further improved by the use of a third sensor with an output characteristic curve corresponding to that of the second sensor, and of a fourth sensor for providing a range preselection for the feed-back integrator of the transit time correlator.

For measuring an amount of relative movement between two elements, such as a vehicle and a track, which are mutually movable, two successive pulses of coherent light are directed from the vehicle to the track under a same incidence angle. From a same location of the vehicle, two images of the interference patterns due to the short pulses are formed. The two pulses are offset from each other in the direction of movement by a distance d approximately corresponding to the amount of relative movement between the two pulses. The actual amount of movement is computed as being the movement which provides the best coincidence between the two images. The comparison can be made by cross-correlation.

The invention contemplates use of a cylindrical lens oriented transverse to an aircraft axis, in conjunction with two light-sensitive detectors in the image plane of the lens, to develop two time-displaced electrical output signals which represent aircraft-motion scanning of terrain by the respective detectors; basically simple circuitry develops the velocity-altitude ratio by measuring the instantaneous displacement time between the two signals. The same cylindrical lens and detecting circuitry may be provided in multiple and in particular relative orientations, to additionally develop drift-angle of the aircraft axis with respect to its instantaneous ground-velocity vector.
摘要:
Apparatus for detecting relative motion between a rough reflecting surface and a wave transmitting and receiving system in a plane parallel or perpendicular to the reflecting surface comprised of a transmitter (radar, laser, acoustic, and the like), a receiver having the same or different aperture as the transmitter, and means for detecting the finest interference fringes in the reflected wave pattern. Each fringe detected represents relative motion through a distance, S, that is a function of the maximum dimension, D, of the transmitting aperture. By counting fringes, total relative motion is determined, and by counting fringes for a unit of time, the rate of that motion is determined. For a small transmitting aperture, the distance, S, between fringes is directly related to kD in the parallel plane and to kD/tan .theta., in the normal plane, where .theta. is the angle between a reference axis normal to the reflecting surface and the axis of the receiving aperture, and k is a calibration constant equal to unity when the transmitting and receiving apertures are at the same distance, H, from the reflecting surface. For a large aperture, S.perspectiveto..lambda.H/kD in the parallel plane and S.perspectiveto..lambda.H/kD tan .theta. in the normal plane. In either plane, for the condition of k.perspectiveto.1, the spacing S.perspectiveto..lambda.H/D and S.perspectiveto..lambda.H/D tan .theta. can be measured with a linear scan array so that with .lambda., D and .theta. known, the distance H can be determined.

摘要:
A plurality of sensors are located on one of the bodies, staggered by fixed distances from each other along the direction of relative movement. The sensors are responsive to a characteristic of the other body, for example to surface characteristics of a roadway. A sensed signal, picked up by a first, or leading sensor is time delayed for a predetermined time interval, and compared with signals received from all the other sensors. Upon optimum correlation, and with known time delay and distance between sensors, the relative speed can then be indicated by determining which one of the sensors picked up the signals which matched the time delay signal. The amplitudes of the signals can be dynamically equalized and the time delay itself changed to permit output over wide ranges, or with respect to different scaling units.
