  • Magnetic field sensor for measuring the rotational speed of a turboshaft
    Patent number: 7372253
    Abstract: A sensor for measuring the rotational speed of a turboshaft of a turbocharger includes a sensor housing and a sensor element which is positioned in the sensor housing and which senses a variation of a magnetic field caused by the rotation of the turboshaft. In order to provide a sensor for measuring the rotational speed of a turboshaft which can be produced simply and at low cost and also can be integrated in a turbocharger without major structural modifications, the sensor element can be positioned outside the turbocharger, on or in a compressor housing, and a pole piece is arranged on the sensor element in such a way that it concentrates the magnetic field in the sensor element.

  • Method and device for adapting a printer into an autonomous facsimile apparatus
    Patent number: 5235674
    Abstract: The device serves to adapt a printer to an autonomous facsimile transmission apparatus. It comprises line interface for transmitting and receiving data conveyed via a telephone line; a printing interface; an input interface for entering data derived from at least one external digital device; a coder/decoder connected to the line interface for respectively encoding and decoding data derived respectively from the input interface and from the line interface. Data derived from the input interface either towards the line interface is routed via the coder/encoder or towards the printing interface. Data derived from the line interface is routed towards the printing interface.
