Abstract: A sensor arrangement for determining at least one physical parameter of a sensor unit which is activated by at least one periodic excitation, comprising a detection region in which changes of the parameter in the surroundings of the sensor unit lead to an output signal from the sensor unit. The sensor unit is wired such that if there is no change of the parameter in the detection region the output signal is a zero signal at the output of the sensor unit, whereas if there are changes of the parameter in the detection region the output signal is a signal that is not zero and which has a specific amplitude and phase. By means of a closed-loop control, the non-zero signal in the receive path is adjusted to achieve an adjusted state at zero even in the presence of changes of the parameter in the detection region. Inherent in the control signal used for this adjustment is a deviation (Δx, Δy) of the control signal from the adjusted state, which deviation represents information about the parameter. To create a sensor arrangement and a method in which values of a physical parameter in a detection region can be clearly determined, in a four-quadrant representation of the deviation (Δx, Δy) in the form of a vector analysis in a phase space of the control signal, the angle of an imaginary vector (2.6) relative to the x axis of an x, y coordinate system, said vector leading from the origin (2.7) of the x, y coordinate system to a measuring point (2.5) and said origin corresponding to the adjusted state, represents a measurement for the change of the parameter along a direction, and/or the magnitude of the imaginary vector (2.6) represents a measurement for the change of the parameter along a further direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a three-dimensional profile of an edge of an object are presented. The edge is defined by adjoining first and second surfaces. A first set of surface points can be detected on the first surface, and a second set of surface points can be detected on the second surface. The second set of surface points can correspond to the first set of surface points. A sensor, such as a contact sensor, can be used to detect the first and second set of surface points. Based on the detected first and second set of surface points, a profile of the edge can be determined automatically, such as by a processor operatively connected to the sensor. In this way, the profile of the edge can be determined without direct detection of the edge.
