Abstract: An apparatus for detecting particles within a hydraulic system having a hydraulic line includes a capacitor formed by a pair of electrodes. A charging circuit produces a charging current of constant magnitude. The charging current is used to charge the capacitor to a predetermined voltage. A timing circuit measures the elapsed time between the time at which the charging circuit begins to produce the charging current and the time at which the capacitor has been charged to the predetermined voltage. The timing circuit produces a pulse width modulated signal. The magnitude of the pulse width modulated signal is indicative of the time difference. A controller receives the pulse width modulated signal and detects particles by comparing the duration of each pulse with a reference pulse.

Abstract: An apparatus for sensing two parameters of a hydraulic system having a hydraulic line includes a pair of electrodes contained within the line and oppositely spaced, forming a capacitor. The apparatus alternately produces first and second charging currents having first and second constant magnitudes, respectively, and charges the capacitor to respective first and second predetermined voltages. The apparatus detects the time needed to charge to the first and second predetermined voltages and produces a pulse width modulated signal having a series of alternating first and second pulses. The first and second pulses are indicative of the first and second parameters, respectively. The first pulse is defined by the time required to charge the capacitor to the first predetermined voltage. The second pulse is defined by the time required to charge the capacitor to the second predetermined voltage. The apparatus determines the two parameters as a function of the pulse width modulated signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining the spool position of a directional valve is disclosed. A longitudinal valve housing has opposed ends and a plurality of fluid ports, and a spool moves reciprocatingly within the valve housing. A first spring disposed adjacent an end of the spool extends and retracts with the reciprocating movement of the spool. A first oscillator circuit is coupled to the first spring and is adapted to produce a first position signal in response to the inductance of the first spring. Finally, a logic device determines the incremental linear position of the spool relative to the housing in response to the frequency of the first position signal.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining the position of a movable object is disclosed. A pair of fixed elements having spaced electrically conductive surfaces form a capacitor. A movable element having an electrically nonconductive composition is connected to the movable object. The movable element is disposed between the fixed element pair. In response to the movement of the movable element, the capacitance value of the variable capacitor changes. A circuit detects the change in capacitance and determines the relative position of the movable object.
