Abstract:
Valve systems include at least one component comprising a conductive material and at least one inductance-to-digital converter (LDC) sensor configured to wirelessly sense at least one property of the conductive material and relay a value associated with the at least one property to a control system of the valve system. Methods of sensing a position of a component of a valve system include wirelessly sensing at least one property of a conductive material of the component of the valve system with at least one inductance-to-digital converter (LDC) sensor.
