摘要:
A magnetic sensor element 1 includes a substrate 10, a conductive layer 12 of a conductive material, and a magnetic layer 11 of a magnetic material, which encloses the conductive layer 12. AC is applied to the element from a drive power source 50, and a detector 60 detects an impedance change due to an external magnetic field. The magnetic layer 11 is bestowed with magnetic anisotropy in a direction orthogonal to the direction of energization of the element 1. With the provision of the conductive layer 12 of conductive material and also with magnetic anisotropy imparted to the magnetic layer 1, the element 1 may be made a low resistivity element. A reactance change and a resistance change of the element due to an external magnetic field change, thus can be effectively detected in drive frequencies two orders of magnitude lower than in the case of a prior art magnetic sensor element. The magnetic anisotropy of the magnetic layer 11 is controlled to prevent magnetic field detection dynamic range variations with drive frequency.

A torque detecting apparatus for measuring the amount of magnetostriction of a rotary magnetic material which transmits torque by means of a magnetic sensor, and detecting the transmitted torque on the basis of the measured amount of magnetostriction. The apparatus comprises a magnetic sensor for measuring the amount of magnetostriction of the rotary magnetic material, a demagnetization coil which is opposed to the rotary magnetic material so as to restore the rotary magnetic material magnetized by a disturbing magnetic field to the state of zero magnetization, a demagnetization circuit for applying an oscillating current to the demagnetization coil so as to generate in the rotary magnetic material a periodic damping oscillating magnetic field having the maximum value larger than the coercive force of the rotary magnetic material; and a trigger circuit for outputting a drive timing signal for the demagnetization circuit. The transmitted torque is detected without being influenced by a disturbing magnetic field.

A torque measuring apparatus for detecting torque in a noncontacting state on the basis of the magnetostrictive amount of a rotary magnetic member for transmitting the torque which is detected by means of a magnetic sensor. The measuring apparatus comprises: a timing signal generator for dividing the rotational angle of the rotary magnetic member into a given number of segments and outputting a predetermined timing signal every time a rotational angle of the rotary magnetic member passes each segment; an offset signal generator for setting in advance for each segment an offset signal to be output from the magnetic sensor depending upon the rotational angle of the rotary magnetic member, and subsequently outputting an offset signal which corresponds to a respective segment on the basis of the timing signal; and a subtractor for subtracting the offset signal from the detection signal of the magnetic sensor at each segment, whereby the transmitted torque of the rotary magnetic member is measured on the basis of the output of the subtractor.

An engine vibration sensor for detecting the engine vibration as an electric signal including a vibrator set to resonate at a specific frequency of vibration of an engine to which it is attached, the vibrator being composed of at least one piezoelectric plate and having a root and a vibrator element; means for increasing the cross-sectional area of the vibrator element to make the second moment of area of the root of the vibrator relatively larger than that of the vibrator element; a base to be connected to an engine body; and a clamp for retaining the root firmly between the clamp and the base. The clamp may be provided with a projection having a flat surface for retaining the root of the vibrator. This construction prevents a change in the effective length of the vibrator element, thereby stabilizing the characteristics of the resonant frequency of the vibrator.
