Disclosed is linear displacement absolute position encoder used for measuring displacement of a tested apparatus. The linear displacement absolute position encoder comprises a base, a magnetoresistive sensor array, an encoding strip, and a back magnet. The encoding strip is fixed on the base and extends in the direction of a rail of the tested apparatus. The encoding strip is a magnetic material block having recess and protrusion for identifying encoding information of different positions. The magnetoresistive sensor array is arranged between the encoding strip and the back magnet in a non-contact manner. The back magnet is used for generating a non-uniform magnetic field around the encoding strip so as to magnetize the encoding strip. The magnetoresistive sensor array is used for acquiring the position encoding information of the encoding strip by detecting magnetic field information of the encoding strip. The encoder is low cost and can monitor large distances.

An impending bypass switch includes a housing having a fluid inlet for admitting fluid into an interior of the housing. A piston is displaceable in the interior of the housing in response to a pressure variation of the fluid in the interior. A magnetic sensor is configured to receive a current and is fixedly mounted to the housing. A magnet is mounted to the piston to be displaced with the piston. Displacement of the magnet relative to the magnetic sensor causes a change in the current through the magnetic sensor. The change in the current is indicative of an impending bypass of a component.

In some implementations, an angle sensor may determine an angular position of an object based on first sensor values received from a first set of sensing elements. The first sensor values include a first x-component of a magnetic field and a first y-component of the magnetic field. The angle sensor may determine the angular position of the object based on second sensor values received from a second set of sensing elements. The second sensor values include a second x-component of the magnetic field and a second y-component of the magnetic field. The angle sensor may perform a set of safety checks, including performing an x-component check based on the first x-component and the second x-component and performing a y-component check based on the first y-component and the second y-component. The angle sensor may provide an indication of a result of the set of safety checks.
