Abstract: In various examples, the subject matter of this disclosure relates to a wear layer for flooring applications and related methods of manufacture. The wear layer can include a PVC resin and a stabilizer comprising CaZn mixed with the PVC resin. The wear layer can have a Shore D hardness of at least about 72 and/or a modulus of elasticity of at least about 1600 MPa. The wear layer can be characterized by an absence of plasticizer (e.g., adipates, phthalates (e.g., diisononyl phthalate or DINP), terephthalates (e.g., dioctyl terephthalate or DOTP), or 1,2-Cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH)) and tin-based stabilizer.

Abstract: An angle of rotation sensor includes at least one coil provided with windings and a magnetically conductive element which interacts with the coil is rotatable with a shaft for transmitting a detectable rotational movement, and whose different overlap degree with at least one magnetically conductive body depends on the rotational position thereof. The magnetically conductive element is located outside of a space surrounded by the coil in each rotational position thereof and the magnetically conductive body is U-shaped in such a way that two legs thereof form an intermediate space therebetween and a perpendicular cross web connecting them. The magnetically conductive body includes shaft bearings mounted on the end areas of the legs.
