摘要:
The variable inductor and the comparison inductor of a semi-differential variable inductance both have a pair of coils magnetically coupled together. The output current of an amplitude-controlled oscillator flows through the series combination of one coil of each pair and the other coil of the comparison inductor is used to supply a signal which is rectified in order to regulate the amplitude of the oscillator. The remaining coil, the other coil of the variable inductor, is connected in reverse polarity and in series with the coil last previously mentioned to provide, through a rectifier, an ouptut signal representative of the difference between the variable and comparison inductances normalized to (divided by) the comparison inductance. The output variation corresponds to the displacement of the short-circuiting ring of the variable inductance, which is mechanically linked to the control rod of a fuel injector of a diesel engine as required for a system controlling the fuel injector. The oscillator and the rectifiers can conveniently use operational amplifiers of the same type designation.

摘要:
A sensor is proposed that has a measuring diaphragm (2), with at least one resistor measurement bridge (7, 8); a deflection of the measuring diaphragm (2) causes mistuning of the respective measurement bridge (7, 8), and the resultant change in the bridge diagonal voltage can be evaluated. The sensor (1) has one resistor measurement bridge (7, 8) on each half (3, 4) of the measuring diaphragm (2), and in each of the resistor measurement bridges (7, 8), two opposed bridge branches (R1, R4) are changed in their resistance values (&Dgr;R) by radial compressive offset, and the respectively other bridge branches (R2, R3) are altered in their resistances by radial or tangential elongation.

The apparatus for determining rotational position of a rotatable element without contacting it includes a sensor device having two Hall or AMR sensor elements for sensing a magnetic field of magnetic field strength (B) generated by or influenced by the rotational position of the rotatable element and for producing output signals according to the magnetic field and thus the rotational position of the rotatable element. In order to easily detect the absolute rotational position of the rotatable element, the sensor device is constructed and positioned with respect to the rotatable element so that in every rotational position the field lines from the rotatable element extend at right angles to the sensor structures defined by the direction of an alternating current in the sensor elements. Using different embodiments of an electronic evaluation circuit, the direction components of the magnetic field are evaluated to determine the rotational position by comparing the input current to one of the sensors and the sum of the output signals of the respective sensor elements. Either sinusoidal or rectangular alternating voltages or direct voltages are input to the sensor elements.

A rotational sensor has a vibrating weight with two acceleration sensors mounted on it. The two acceleration sensors are designed to detect forces acting at a right angle to each other. The vibrating weight is set in vibration by means of driving devices, and rotation of the rotational sensor about two axes of rotation that are normal to each other is detected with the help of the acceleration sensors. The Coriolis forces in a plane are determined in this way.

In a force sensor, a resonator is mounted by means of a dielectric layer on a bending element. Deformation of the bending element changes the resonant frequency of the resonator.
摘要:
A rotor for detecting inclination angles in relation to a defined rotational axis perpendicular to the direction of the field of gravity is proposed. In the center area of the sensor interior, enclosed by a housing, a mounting (25) is located, which is fixed in relation to the housing (30), and on which a seismic mass is suspended so that it can swing. The seismic mass is formed in the shape of a rotor (10) which is asymmetrical in respect to the mounting (25) and which can perform excursions around an axis defined by the mounting (25). Portions (11, 12) of the rotor (10) constitute electrodes of a capacitor arrangement. A border (20), fixed in relation to the housing (30), is disposed around the rotor (10) parallel to the axis defined by the mounting (25). The portions (21, 22, 23) of the border (20) constitute the backplate electrodes of the capacitor arrangement.
摘要:
In an arrangement that can be implemented with a simple circuit, the load is connected in parallel to an additional resistor. The primary-side input resistance of the transformer is measured, and when the input resistance differs from a predefined value, a load malfunction is signaled.
摘要:
A synchronous rectifier, to which the primary-side input voltage of the transformer and a control voltage with the same frequency as the input voltage is applied, is connected to the primary side of the transformer. The phase of the control voltage can be switched between 0.degree. and 90.degree., so that the output voltage of the synchronous rectifier corresponds exclusively to the voltage drop component at the ohmic input resistance of the transformer at 0.degree., and exclusively to the voltage drop component at the inductive input resistance of the transformer at 90.degree.. Since both the ohmic and the inductive input resistances are dependent on the resistance of the load connected to the secondary side (e.g., the squib of an air bag), both voltage components can be used to obtain reliable information on the status of the load resistance.
摘要:
An apparatus for measuring small displacements, either linear or angular, employ a pair of spaced "barber pole" or other magnetic field sensitive elements and a movable magnet, in which the exact position of the movable magnet is determined from the voltages sensed at the two elements. The voltages are evaluated in a circuit which produces a rectangular voltage or equivalent, in which the mark/space ratio equates to the position of the magnet between the two sensors.
