    Abstract: A sensor for determining the rotational speed of a rotating element. The sensor includes a giant magnetoresistive ratio sensing device which is magnetically coupled to the rotating element and includes an output terminal. The sensing device generates an output signal at the output terminal having a frequency corresponding to the rotational speed of the rotating element. A wave-shaping circuit is connected to the output terminal for receiving the output signal and for generating a digital switching signal having a frequency equal to the frequency of the output signal. A frequency divider has an input connected to the wave shaping circuit for receiving the digital switching signal. The frequency divider generates, in response to the digital switching signal, a square wave output having a 50% duty cycle and a frequency equal to the frequency of the digital switching signal divided by a predetermined divisor.

    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: A force transducer having a semiconductor substrate including a surface defining a recess, such that the recess has a peripheral boundary and a flexible diaphragm connected to the surface along the peripheral boundary to enclose the recess so that the diaphragm moves in response to changes in a force applied thereto. The force transducer also includes a resonant beam connected to the surface adjacent the peripheral boundary. The resonant beam has a frequency of resonation. Movement of the diaphragm in response to changes in the force applied to the diaphragm changes the frequency of resonation of the resonant beam.
