  • Patent number: 5608320
    Abstract: Provided is a magnetomoter apparatus for measuring low-level magnetic fields. The magnetometer utilizes a coil-pair wound on cores of a high permeability material. These coils are driven to magnetic saturation by an energizing circuit, and develop a uniquely shaped distortion spike in their back emf having an amplitude which is directly related to the ambient magnetic field. The resulting back emf of the coils can be compared and processed to generate a measurement of the ambient magnetic field.

  • Patent number: 5505092
    Abstract: A fluid condition sensing transducer includes a fluid containment device having a cylindrical side wall including an inner surface in contact with a fluid and an outer surface, a diaphragm integral with the side wall defined by a recessed portion of the side wall and extending between the inner surface and a recessed portion of the outer surface, and an in-situ, non-invasive sensor mounted on the recessed portion of the outer surface for sensing surface conditions of the diaphragm whereby the condition of the fluid in the containment device is sensed.
