An electric wiring system has a plurality of terminal units, a plurality of sensors connected to the terminal units by signal input lines, and a central control unit connected to the terminal units by a pair of common power supply lines, which receive signals from the sensors. The central control unit has a reference signal generator circuit which repetitively generates a reference signal composed of a train of pulses, a predetermined number of which are assigned to each of the sensors, a modulator circuit for applying the reference signal to the power supply lines, a demodulator circuit for picking up a composite signal generated by the terminal unit from the power supply line, and a control circuit for detecting abnormal and normal signals of the sensors and breakage of the power supply lines and signal input lines based on the presence and absence of high-frequency pulses in the composite signal, thus indicating sensor and line conditions. Each of the terminal units has a demodulator circuit for picking up the reference signal from the power supply lines, a composite signal generator circuit for generating the composite signal by adding the high-frequency pulses at pulse positions corresponding to the pulses of the reference signal assigned to the sensors, dependent on the abnormal and normal signals of the sensors and breakage of the signal input lines, and a modulator circuit for applying the composite signal to the power supply lines.

An apparatus responsive to the amount of refrigerant flow in a refrigerant circulating system includes a sensing capacitor mounted in a refrigerant passage, the capacitance of the sensing capacitor being varied depending on a change in the dielectric constant of the refrigerant which in turn being dependent on the amount of the refrigerant. The sensing capacitor forms an element of a resistance-capacitance oscillatory circuit and it also forms a ring oscillator together with another capacitor and a plurality of inverters and resistors. The oscillation frequency of the ring oscillator is detected to determine the amount of the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant passage.

An electric circuit member in a housing has lead wires which protrude out an end of the housing. A portion of the housing is provided with external threading for mounting and dismounting of the whole assembly. In order to prevent twisting of the wires as assembly is mounted and dismounted, the assembly may be manipulated to let the electric circuit member and its lead wires slip relative to the threaded housing portion. Three variations are shown.

A liquid level monitoring device includes a casing arranged to be immersed in liquid stored within a container, the casing having first and second ports and being integrally provided with a support member to be attached to the inner wall of the container. A flexible diaphragm is assembled to form first and second chambers in the casing, the first chamber being communicated with the atmospheric air through the first port from which an elongated tube extends into the exterior of the container, and the second chamber permitting the immerse of liquid through the second port thereinto such that an amount of the atmospheric air is compressed within the second chamber in dependence upon an amount of the stored liquid to flex the diaphragm by a pressure difference between the chambers. A pressure transducer is provided to detect the rate of flexure of the diaphragm so as to generate an electric signal indicative of the liquid surface level from a control circuit. An indicator is responsive to the electric signal from the control circuit to indicate the stored liquid surface level.

The inclusion of air into the brake system or the presence of a clearance between the brake shoes and the brake drums which is greater than a predetermined value is detected from the fact that the residual stroke of the brake pedal is increased each time the brake pedal of a vehicle is depressed. A brake sensor produces a frequency corresponding to the displacement of the brake pedal, and first and second displacement detecting circuits respectively detect the maximum displacement during first and second brake pedal movements. A comparison circuit compares the maximum displacements detected by the detecting circuits and produces a signal corresponding to the difference between the maximum displacements and a display circuit displays the signal from the comparison circuit to give a warning.

A rotation detecting apparatus detects the angular position of an engine by rotating from the engine an electrically conductive rotating member having a plurality of equally spaced projections and notches formed on the periphery thereof and arranging a detector to face the rotating member and detect its projections and notches. The detector incorporates a self-running blocking oscillator circuit comprising a transformer and a field-effect transistor. With the engine rotating, the oscillator circuit oscillates when one of the notches on the rotating member is opposite to the detector, whereas when one of the projections on the rotating member is opposite to the detector the oscillator circuit does not oscillate due to the eddy current loss caused in the projection. Another circuit is connected to the oscillator circuit, and this circuit generates a pulse signal whose signal level changes in synchronism with a change in the oscillation condition of the oscillator circuit. This signal level change is indicative of a predetermined angular position of the engine.

A liquid level sensing system comprises a permanent magnet mounted in a cylindrical supporting case disposed in a housing and provided with a resistance plate at one end thereof, a reed switch arranged parallel to the permanent magnet and electromagnetic means including an iron core and a coil arranged above the supporting case and on the same axis as the permanent magnet. When the level of the engine oil goes down, the reed switch and the electromagnetic means cause the permanent magnet to vertically vibrate in the supporting case in the axial direction thereof thus causing for example a lamp to flash on and off and indicate the existence of an irregularity. With the construction described above, the system of this invention is capable of sensing an abnormal deterioration of the engine oil in addition to the sensing of the engine oil level.
