  • Patent number: 8203331
    Abstract: A non-contact sensor system is provided that comprises a first sensor element disposed on a stationary member, and a second sensor element disposed on a rotational member. The second sensor element is proximate the first sensor element without physically contacting the first sensor element. The rotational member is configured to facilitate selection of at least a first position and a second position, and the first sensor element and the second sensor element are operatively coupled to facilitate sensing of the selected position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8164326
    Abstract: A non-contact sensor system is provided that comprises a first sensor element disposed within a first member having an axis Y, and a second member configured to rotate about the axis Y at a value X. The second member is configured to interface with the first member. The non-contact sensor system further comprises a second sensor element disposed on the second member proximate the first sensor element without physically contacting the first sensor element, and the first sensor element and the second sensor element are operatively coupled to facilitate sensing the value X. The non-contact sensor system may be configured to sense velocity, acceleration, and other values.

  • Publication number: 20100207608
    Abstract: A non-contact sensor system is provided that comprises a first sensor element disposed on an outside surface of a chamber. The chamber comprises an inside surface configured to receive a piston, and the piston is configured to move a value X within the chamber without physically contacting the first sensor element. The non-contact sensor system further comprises a second sensor element disposed on the piston and separated from the first sensor element by a wall of the chamber. The first sensor element and the second sensor element are operatively coupled to facilitate sensing the value X. The non-contact sensor system may be configured to sense velocity, acceleration, volume, and other values.

  • Publication number: 20100207613
    Abstract: A non-contact sensor system is provided that comprises a first sensor element and a rotary member disposed proximate the first sensor element without physically contacting the first sensor element. The rotary member may be configured to be rotated about an axis Y by a shaft configured to pass through the rotary member along the axis Y at a value X. The non-contact sensor system further comprises a second sensor element disposed on the rotary member proximate the first sensor element without physically contacting the first sensor element, and the first sensor element and the second sensor element may be operatively coupled to facilitate sensing the value X.

  • Publication number: 20080092641
    Abstract: A braking system including a torque tube and a rotor-stator stack, wherein the torque tube at least partially deforms during braking. The torque tube includes a passage formed in therein, and a displacement sensor is placed with the passage, wherein the displacement sensor detects deformation of the torque tube. The signal can be used as a measure of actual braking torque applied to the one or more wheels.
