    Abstract: An angle sensor may include a first angle measurement path to determine an angular position based on sensor values from a first set of sensing elements. The angle sensor may include a second angle measurement path to determine the angular position based on sensor values from a second set of sensing elements. A type of the second set of sensing elements is different from a type of the first set of sensing elements. The angle sensor may include a safety path to perform a set of safety checks, the set of safety checks including a first vector length check associated with the first angle measurement path and a second vector length check associated with the second angle measurement path. The angle sensor may include an output component to provide an indication of a result of the set of safety checks.

    Abstract: An inductive sensor may include a first angle measurement path associated with determining an angular position based on a first set of input signals. The inductive sensor may include a second angle measurement path associated with determining an angular position based on a second set of input signals. The inductive sensor may include an amplitude regulation path associated with regulating amplitudes of a set of output signals. The inductive sensor may include a safety path associated with performing one or more safety checks. Each safety check of the one or more safety checks may be associated with at least one of the first angle measurement path, the second angle measurement path, or the amplitude regulation path.

    Abstract: A torque measurement system includes a first rotatable carrier structure mechanically coupled to a rotational shaft; a second rotatable carrier structure mechanically coupled to the rotational shaft; a first mutually coupled structure including a first track mechanically coupled to the first rotatable carrier structure and a second track mechanically coupled to the second rotatable carrier structure, where the first track and the second track are coupled together by a first torque dependent coupling; a second mutually coupled structure including a third track mechanically coupled to the first rotatable carrier structure and a fourth track mechanically coupled to the second rotatable carrier structure, where the third track and the fourth track are coupled together by a second torque dependent coupling. In response to a rotation of the rotational shaft, the first torque dependent coupling is configured to increase and the second torque dependent coupling is configured to decrease.
