Abstract: A bearing assembly for a vehicle including a fixed element, a rotating element rotating relative to the fixed element about an axis, and an annular sensor connected to one of the fixed element and the rotating element. The sensor includes a pick-up coil and an annular magnet connected to the pick-up coil. The magnet has a plurality of magnetic regions which alternate in polarity around the magnet. The magnet generates a magnetic flux path magnetically coupling the magnet to the coil and resulting in the generation of an electrical signal in the coil. The rotating bearing element includes a plurality of gear teeth. The gear teeth generate a change in the reluctance of the magnetic flux path to vary the electrical signal in response to the angular speed of the fixed element relative to the rotating element.

Abstract: Re-usable or multi use pallets are disclosed, which comprise a pallet platform mounted on molded plastic pallet spacer feet, and pallet runners attached to the bottom or underside of the pallet spacer feet by means of a through bolt extending through the pallet platform, pallet spacer foot, and pallet runners, and nails extending upward through the pallet runner and into the bottom of the molded plastic spacer foot. The plan view of the pallet spacer foot is of a modified oblate spheroid shape.
