  • Patent number: 4050747
    Abstract: A wheel speed measuring apparatus is provided for use in an anti-skid brake control system such that a digital speed signal is obtained having good accuracy without resorting to expensive manufacturing methods to assure exact conformity of the teeth and teeth spaces of the rotor member of the wheel sensor device used in the anti-skid control system. The speed measuring apparatus consists of at least two corresponding portions, each consisting of a control unit, a counter and a data register. The control unit of one portion responds to a positive polarity transition of the square wave signal generated by the wheel sensor, while the control unit of the other portion responds to negative polarity transitions, to initiate operation of the respective counters.
