Appl. No.:

09/706199

Inventors:

Daniel J. Moreno - El Paso TX
Yingjie Lin - El Paso TX

Assignee:

Delphi Technologies, Inc. - Troy MI

International Classification:

G01R 33025

US Classification:

32420712, 32420721, 32420725, 324167, 324173, 324174

Abstract:

A self-compensating control circuit for use with a magneto-resistive sensor. The control circuit includes a first stage amplification and offset function that removes a DC component from the input signal and maximizes an AC component of the input signal within the dynamic range of the control circuit. Subsequent stages remove the remaining DC component, if any, and provide suitable additional amplification. A comparator provides a digital output based on the processed input signal and a threshold signal.

International Classification:

G01B 714

US Classification:

32420721, 32420726, 701 45

Abstract:

A contactless latch engagement detector for a mechanical fastening system operating on the principle of magnetosensitivity. A magnetosensitive switch composed of a magnetosensitive device and at least one biasing magnet adjacent the magnetosensitive device are located in a buckle. Within or external to the buckle is an electronic circuit for driving the magnetosensitive device, and a flux bar composed of a ferromagnetic material having a high magnetic permeability is associated with a movable component of the system. In operation, the electronic circuit drives the magnetosensitive device, wherein its output is responsive to position of the flux bar relative to the magnetosensitive device. The flux bar moves responsive to position of a tongue within the buckle, whereby the fastened state of the mechanical (ie. , seat belt) fastening system is detected when a predetermined output occurs.

International Classification:

G01B 730

US Classification:

32420725, 335306

Abstract:

An arc magnet assembly with a virtual radial magnetization is established by placing a series of small trapezoidal-shaped magnet segments having axial magnetizations side by side to form an arc. The arc magnet assembly may be affixed to a rotating component in, e. g. , a vehicle to yield a substantially linear magnetic sensor output that represents the speed and/or direction of rotation and/or position of the rotating component.

Abstract:

A non-contacting, magnet-based, rotary and linear travel absolute position sensor each include a stationary galvanomagnetic sensing element disposed in an air gap or slot of a movable magnet/flux concentrator assembly. The assembly has a first flux concentrator comprising ferromagnetic material having opposing magnet ends, and a second flux concentrator also comprising ferromagnetic material having opposing magnet ends but that is spaced apart from the first flux concentrator by a pair of magnets to form the air gap or slot. The magnet ends of each flux concentrator have a respective magnet area configured to engage a corresponding magnet and is configured in size and shape to cover the magnet. Additionally, the flux concentrators are configured in geometry to decrease in cross-sectional area from the inboard side of the magnet ends towards the center region of the concentrators, specifically the center of travel together provide improved linearity and signal to noise ratio of the output position signal.

International Classification:

G01R 27/26

US Classification:

324663, 324698

Abstract:

A sensing apparatus for determining a property of a fuel such as a gasoline and ethanol blend known as flex fuel includes an acetal plastic tube with an inlet, an outlet and a fuel passage in between. One property of the fuel is a dielectric constant. A pair of sensing plates are placed on opposite sides of the tube leaving the fuel passage unobstructed. A processing circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB) is located near to and is connected with the sensing plates. The circuit applies an excitation signal, senses a capacitance, and generates an output signal indicative of a property of the fuel. The sensed capacitance will increase with increasing concentration of ethanol in the fuel flowing through the passage. A shield for reducing EMI surrounds and encloses the sensing plates and the PCB. An interface connector allows the sensing apparatus to output the capacitance indicative signal to an engine controller or the like.

Abstract:

Sensor and method for encoding and detecting a plurality of discrete positions are provided. The sensor comprises an array of electromagnetic assemblies. Each assembly may be made up of a magnet, and a flux-sensing switch electromagnetically coupable to the magnet to generate a signal having a respective logical state in response to the presence or absence of flux from the magnet. A flux mask is movably interposed between each magnet and flux-sensing switch. The flux mask includes a window array configured to pass or block flux from each magnet. The window array is further configured so that each flux-sensing switch can generate in response to whether or not flux passes therethrough, a signal set encoded to uniquely identify each of the discrete positions as the flux mask is set at any of the discrete positions.
