Abstract: So that the parts and connections of a component, particularly a Giant Magneto-Resistor, may withstand external forces, a meander group (13M, 14M) with at least one meander element (13.1, . . . , 13.n, 14.1, . . . , 14.n) is positioned in both connection elements (13, 14) between a component cell (1) and the straight functional connection element (13A, 14A). A capacitor unit (2) is mounted on the meander group (13M) of the first connection element (13) and on the meander group (14M; of the second connection element (14).

Abstract: To determine the angular position of a rotating shaft starting from a standstill and going up to the highest permissible nominal speed and to suppress noise pluses in the square pulse sequence curve precisely corresponding to the tooth flank positions, a magnetic flux density signal received by a Hall cell (1) is compared with a threshold value signal (DC-TH)) in a standstill output unit (2) and a standstill output signal (AS") is produced. In addition, the magnetic flux density curve recorded by the first Hall cell (1) is compared with the magnetic flux density curve recorded by another Hall cell (1) and from that a window signal unit (5) generates a window signal (5) consisting of a sequence of pulses having a period that is approximately equal to a square pulse length. A static output signal (AS') is produced from the falling flank of the first pulse and the falling flanks of the subsequent pulses.
