  • Patent number: 5796249
    Abstract: A sensor for sensing at least one of angular position and rotation speed comprises a permanent magnet rotatable about an axis of rotation and at least three Wheatstone bridges each having four bridge resistors formed of magnetoresistive strip lines extending in planes parallel to a rotation plane of the permanent magnet. The bridge resistors of each of the at least three Wheatstone bridges are disposed on respective sides of quadrangles corresponding to respective ones of the at least three Wheatstone bridges. Each of the at least three Wheatstone bridges has two adjacently arranged ones of the bridge resistors connected to a half-bridge of respective ones of the at least three Wheatstone bridges. The quadrangles are disposed relative to one another rotated by a preselectable angle .alpha..

  • Patent number: 5182947
    Abstract: An electric measuring arrangement having at least one measuring sensor and an evaluation circuit which makes possible a continuous measurement of not only the level of a conductive liquid in a container but, also, enables evaluation of as much other physical data relating to the liquid as possible, such as its inclination, the position of a movable body in the liquid, linear or rotational acceleration, and speed. Each measuring sensor is designed as a stray field sensor with two measuring electrodes that are at a specific lateral distance from one another, and the container, together with the liquid placed in it, form a part of the measuring arrangement.
