摘要： A position detector is provided for detecting the relative movement of first and second members which are mounted for relative movement along a measuring path. One of the members comprises a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field and the other member comprises first and second conductors which are inductively coupled to said magnetic field generator. The arrangement of the first and second conductors and the magnetic field generator is such that output signals are generated in a first and second receive circuits whose position varies with the relative movement between the two members. In addition to carrying information relating to the relative position between the two members, the signals induced in the receive circuits also comprise information defining the relative orientation of the two movable members, and by suitable processing of the received signals the relative orientation of the two members can also be determined. In a preferred form of the invention, the system operates to define the relative position and orientation of the two movable members in first and second directions from which the relative orientation of the two members in a plane containing the two directions can be determined. The signals induced in the receive circuits can also be processed to give an indication of the gap between the two circuits and to provide an indication of the full relative orientation of the two members.

摘要： Processing circuitry is provided for processing signals received from, for example, sense coils forming part of a position encoder used to encode the relative positions of two relatively movable members. The position encoder is such that each of the plurality of signals from the sense coils varies sinusoidally with the relative position of the members but out of phase with respect to each other. The processing circuitry comprises mixers for multiplying each of the received signals with one of a corresponding plurality of periodic time varying signals, each having the same predetermined period and a different predetermined phase, and an adder for adding the signals from the mixers. The phase of the mixing signals are chosen so that the output signals from the adder contains a single periodic component having the predetermined period whose phase varies with the relative position of the two members. Preferably, a reference channel is provided in order to allow for compensation of common phase errors in both channels. The period time varying signals multiplied with each of the signals from the position encoder preferably comprise a two or three level square wave signal having a number of transitions designed to reduce the low order harmonic content of the mixing signals.

摘要： A position encoder is provided for indicating the relative position between first and second relatively movable members. One of the members carries a multi-pole magnetic scale which generates a magnetic field whose magnitude and direction vary with position and the other member carries at least one sense conductor. A saturable magnetic element is located in the positionally varying magnetic field of the magnetic scale and an excitation winding is provided which, when energized, generates a magnetic filed which interacts with the positionally varying magnetic field to cause different portions of the saturable magnetic element to saturate and desaturate at different times. The arrangement of the sense conductor is such that as the magnetic element is driven into and out of saturation, it outputs a signal which is indicative of the position of the magnetic scale relative to the sense conductor.

摘要： In a linear position encoder, a support is provided upon which a pair of phase quadrature windings are mounted. The windings are arranged to have a sinusoidal magnetic sensitivity characteristic along the length of the support. Mounted on a movable element there is a resonant circuit including a coil and capacitor that can magnetically couple with the windings. When the circuit is excited, it induces currents in the windings that are dependent upon the position of the circuit within a period T.sub.s of the windings. An excitation and processing unit is provided to energize the circuit and to process the signals induced in the windings. The encoder may in a variation, measure rotational or radial position instead of translation.

摘要： A coriolis-type mass flow sensor suitable for aerospace use comprises a tuning fork which is immersed in the fluid whose mass flow is to be sensed, such that its tines extend across (i.e. perpendicular to) the direction of flow of the fluid. The whole tuning fork is elongated in the direction of flow of the fluid, so that the fluid flows over (and between) the tines: typically, the fork may be up to 15 cm long in the direction of flow. The tines are excited to vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of flow of the fluid by several piezoelectric drive devices held under compression in, and distributed symmetrically about the midlength of, the yoke from which the tines project, while the vibrations are sensed by respective piezoelectric pickup devices within each end of the yoke. The phase difference between the vibrations sensed by the two pickup devices is a function of the mass flow of the fluid. In an alternative form, the sensor has two pairs of tines symmetrically distributed around the yoke as a kind of double tuning fork, while in another alternative form, the tines are formed integrally with, and project into, a short section of cylindrical pipe.
