Abstract: A method of measuring biaxial stress in an object of a ferromagnetic material in which material in a region (10) in the vicinity of a surface of the object is subjected to a conditioning method by application of a conditioning magnetic field that is at least initially at a high field strength. Values of biaxial stress within the said region are measured with an electromagnetic measuring probe (14) in at least two different orientations, the electromagnetic measuring probe (14) using an alternating measuring magnetic field that is at a field strength well below saturation. The conditioning may subject the region (10) to a low frequency alternating magnetic field (38, 58) initially at a high field strength, and gradually reducing the strength to zero over a decay time period at least equal to the time for many cycles of the low frequency magnetic field. Conditioning the material enables the stress to then be measured more accurately, and enables ambiguities in biaxial stress to be resolved.

Abstract: Exemplary systems and method are directed to a sensing device, and to a pressure sensing system and method. An exemplary method includes supplying electromagnetic energy to a transducer which is configured to reflect the electromagnetic energy at a ring frequency determined by an inductance of the transducer, wherein the inductance changes in response to compression of the inductive element. The ring frequency of electromagnetic energy reflected by the transducer is correlated to a pressure value.

Abstract: A non-contact, current sensor includes a gapped magnetic core configured to circumscribe a current carrying conductor. A magnetostrictive element is mechanically coupled to the gapped magnetic core. Current flowing in the current carrying conductor induces a magnetic field in the magnetic core that flows through the magnetostrictive element. The gapped magnetic core is provided with mounting sections to which the magnetostrictive element is mechanically coupled. The mounting sections have a geometry that increases magnetic flux in the magnetostrictive element. A strain gauge is mechanically coupled to the magnetostrictive element to measure displacement in the element induced by the magnetic flux.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transport rail system (1) capable of detecting a weight of a rail vehicle (2). The transport rail system (1) comprises one or more rails (3a, 3b) and one or more sensors (7) for measuring a magnetic property. At least one of the sensors (7) is adapted to measure a change of a magnetic property in order to determine a weight bearing on one or more of the rails (3a, 3b), the change of the magnetic property being caused by stress exerted on the rail (3a, 3b) by said weight. Said transport rail system (1) is characterized in that one or more of the sensors (7) are adapted to measure the change of a magnetic property of the rail (3a, 3b) itself and/or that one or more sensors (7) are adapted to measure the change of a magnetic property of a supporting structure (4a, 4b) of the rail (3a, 3b). The invention allows providing a transport rail system (1) at a lower price as the complexity of such a system may be lowered.
