摘要： A bushing assembly adapted for application in vehicle suspension systems includes an outer, generally cylindrical bushing member, an inner generally cylindrical bushing member arranged concentrically within the outer member. The two bushing members are interconnected by an elastomeric member disposed there between and bonded thereto to permit limited rotational displacement between the external and internal bushing members. An angular position sensor is at least partially embedded within the elastomeric member and operated to produce an output signal indicative of the relative angular position of the external and internal bushing members. The sensor includes a stator assembly including a permanent magnet, a galvanomagnetic sensing element and a flux guide defining at least one pole face, and a rotor including a flux guide defining a second pole face. An air gap between the two pole faces varies dimensionally as a function of the relative angular position of the stator assembly and rotor.

摘要： A sensing assembly senses liquid levels in a reservoir and creates a sensing signal. The sensing assembly includes a first electrical conductor extending into the reservoir. A second electrical conductor also extends into the reservoir and is disposed from the first electrical conductor a predetermined distance. A first electrode is electrically connected to the first electrical conductor. The first electrode extends between a first conductor end and a first distal end and has a first electrode length. A second electrode is electrically connected to the second electrode conductor. The second electrode is spaced apart from the first electrode and extends between a second conductor end and a second distal end and has a second electrode length. The sensing assembly also includes a plurality of plates that are operatively connected to the second electrode. The plurality of plates are spaced equidistantly along the second electrode length. Each of the plurality of plates combines with the first electrode to create a capacitance such that the sensing signal generating by the sensing assembly determines the level of the liquid in the reservoir. Each of the plurality of plates is associated with an inductor and a resistor. The plates, inductor and resistors are connected together in series with each of the groupings being connected in parallel to each other along the second electrode length. The sensing signal will generate spikes that, based on amplitude, will identify the amount of a liquid in the reservoir.

摘要： A sensing assembly (10) senses liquid levels (14) in a reservoir (12) and creates a sensing signal (54) therefore. The sensing assembly (10) includes a first electrical conductor (22) extending into the reservoir (12). A second electrical conductor (24) also extends into the reservoir (12) and is disposed from the first electrical conductor (22) a predetermined distance. A first electrode (28) is electrically connected to the first electrical conductor (22). The first electrode (28) extends between a first conductor end (30) and a first distal end (32). A first electrode length (34) is defined therebetween. A second electrode (36) is electrically connected to the second electrode conductor (24). The second (36) electrode is spaced apart from the first electrode (28) and extends between a second conductor end (38) and a second distal end (40). A second electrode length (42) is defined therebetween. The sensing assembly (10) also includes a plurality of plates (44) that are operatively connected to the second electrode (36). The plurality of plates (44) are spaced equidistantly along the second electrode length (42). Each of the plurality of plates (44) combines with the first electrode (28) to create a unique capacitance such that the sensing signal (54) generating by the sensing assembly (10) determines the level (14) of the liquid (16) in the reservoir (12).
