摘要:
To determine the rotary speed of a toothed element (1), for example the starter gear of an internal combustion (IC) engine, or a toothed wheel coupled to a wheel of a vehicle for evaluation of the speed, and change in speed thereof, for use in a brake anti-block system, a magnetic field is generated, for example by a permanent magnet (3) which has both radial and tangential components with respect to the teeth (2) of the rotary element. A magnetic field dependent sensor (4) such as a Hall generator or a thin-film permalloy-type magneto-resistive sensor is positioned to respond to the tangential component of the magnetic field, to thereby eliminate shifts in the null or center line about which the field strength undulates as the disk rotates to permit ready evaluation of the output from the sensor by threshold circuitry.

摘要:
A circuit arrangement for transmitting variable measurement values, such as pressure and temperature, at vehicle wheels is provided which transmits the measurement values in the form of H-F signals to a stationary evaluating circuit (12) with great accuracy, high reliability and in short time intervals. A repeater coil (b 13), which is connected with the latter, arranged in the vicinity of the wheel so as to be stationary and connected to voltage by a square-wave generator (15), cooperates with a revolving repeated coil (19) which is fastened at the vehicle wheel and connected with a sensor circuit arrangement (20) supplied by it. The sensor circuit arrangement (20) contains a timing element (29) which responds to a voltage peak in the revolving repeater coil (19 l) at the end of a voltage pulse of the square-wave generator (15) and, with a corresponding delay, triggers a timing circuit (30) for transmitting the measurement values, which timing circuit (30) is connected with it on the output side, wherein the delay time of the timing element (29), together with the duty cycle of the timing circuit (30), is shorter than the pause time of the square-wave voltage at the square-wave generator (15).

摘要:
To simplify a field plate effect speed and position sensor, particularly for association with the starter gear of an automotive-type internal combustion engine, four meander-arranged permalloy resistance tracks are located on a substrate at the corners of a rectangle, spaced, in circumferential direction, by about half the pitch distance of the teeth (2) of the starter gear. The resistances can be connected in a voltage divider (FIG. 4) configuration, or in form of a bridge circuit (FIG. 5) supplied from a constant current source (CC) to eliminate temperature variation affects, and providing alternating current output voltages within the wide range of temperature of essentially uniform level as the teeth (2) scan the sensor, a special marker tooth (10) providing an output signal of different level. Preferably, the resistances (5-8) are formed as meander-shaped thin film vapor deposited tracks on a silicon substrate (4), a permanent magnet (9) providing bias magnetization, the direction of which changes with respect to the orientation of the meander tracks--preferably 45.degree. with respect to the direction of rotation (11) to cause the resistance elements to either have high, or low resistances (FIG. 3).
