摘要： A device for measuring torsional distortion of a body comprises first and second clip portions each having a central part and two legs depending from the central part, each leg having adjacent the free end thereof a groove or projection for engaging a respective projection or groove (14) provided in the body (16) to mount the clip portion the body rotationally fastened therewith. A bridge interconnects the clip portion. The bridge is less stiff than the clip portions whereby relative rotational displacement of the clip portions caused by torsional distortion of the body will cause proportional deflection of the bridge. Means, for example a SAW device (15), are provided for measuring the deflection of the bridge to provide an indication of the torsional distortion which produces the deflection of the bridge. Also (20) for the interior all of a hollow body.

摘要： A method of calibrating an individual sensor of a particular sensor type whose output varies non-linearly with at least one measured quantity and at least one operating condition. The first step includes producing a set of calibration curves for each sample sensor of the particular sensor type. The resulting sets of calibration curves are then averaged and the results used to produce a generic calibration surface for the particular sensor type showing its variation. Individual calibration measurements are then taken for a number of different values of the measured quantity at a small number of discrete values. The individual calibration readings are then used to map the generic calibration surface to the individual calibration measurements of the individual sensor.

摘要： A contactless SAW based torque and temperature sensor includes three SAW resonators 2, 3, 4 mounted on a common substrate 1 made of Y+34° cut of quartz. The first SAW 2 has its principle axis inclined at +45° to the X-axis of the substrate, which, in use, is either aligned with the longitudinal axis of a device whose torque is to be measured or is perpendicular thereto, and the second SAW 3 has its principle axis inclined at 135 degrees to the X-axis of the substrate. The third SAW 4 is positioned with its principle axis inclined at an angle, preferably in the range of 0 to 30 degrees, to the principle axis of both the first 2 and second 3 resonators so that none of the SAWs are parallel, the third SAW 4 enabling temperature measurements to be taken.

摘要： A surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor includes a transducer (240 provided on a substrate (23), wherein the transducer (24) is oriented on the substrate (23) so that the direction of acoustic wave propagation is such that the variation of sensor output with temperature, associated with the variation of the substrate third-elastic constants with temperature, substantially equal but opposite to the sum total of the variation of sensor output with temperature associated with the substrate linear temperature coefficient of expansion and with the variations with temperature of the substrate non-zero third order elastic constants, the substrate first-order elastic constants and the substrate density. The effect of temperature variation on sensor output is thereby minimized. This is achieved with a 35-degree arrangement or with reflective gratings inclined at an angle of 3.1 degrees to normal. Additionally, a robust package with a dish is given. Particular applications include the measurement of torque.

摘要： A pressure monitor has a base and a lid secured to the base to define a substantially fluid tight chamber. At least part of the lid is flexible and forms a diaphragm which deflects responsive to changes in fluid pressure surrounding the monitor. A projection provided on the diaphragm transmits movement thereof to a distortable substrate located within the chamber. A first SAW device is mounted on the distortable substrate, and at least a second and third SAW device are mounted within the chamber. The second SAW device carried on a reference substrate section has its direction of propagation inclined at an angle to the direction of propagation of at least one of the first and third SAW devices. This way movement of the diaphragm induced by a change in pressure in the zone surrounding the monitor results in distortion of the distortable substrate, which is measurable by the SAW device mounted thereon, without distorting said reference substrate section.

摘要： A torque measurement flexplate (20) includes a substantially planar body (54) which defines a plurality of circumferentially distributed axial through apertures (22), a radial web (24) extending between each pair of adjacent axial apertures (22). The flexplate (20) further defines a plurality of circumferentially distributed axial outer fastening holes (26) for attachment to an output member. The flexplate (20) includes a strain sensor (28) for measuring the shear strain field on the flexplate (20). The flexplate (20) defines a recess (30) in which the strain sensor (28) is located, the recess (30) being defined in an axial surface (32) of one of the radial webs (24) such that, in use, the sensor (28) lies at least proximate to one of the local neutral axes (34) relating to one of a plurality of unwanted strains (36) to which the flexplate (20) is subject in use.

摘要： A measurement device for operating in high voltage electrical fields such in high voltage electrical switchgear, having a sensor and a λ/2 monopole helical antenna coupled thereto. The antenna is coupled to a ground via return stub in lieu of the common ground plane. The antenna is made of wire having a sufficiently large diameter to prevent forming corona discharge point electrode throughout the outer surface of the volume defined by the antenna, thus minimizing corona discharge risk. The antenna further provide relative immunity from induced voltage at the 50-400 Hz range from the high voltage fields, allowing ESD sensitive devices to operate in close proximity to the high voltage conductors.
