Eddy current based, contactless position transducer for a gas handle [PDF]
, 2010 In electric vehicles, it is normal to have an electronic set value for 'gas' and for 'brake'. Traditional potentiometers with sliding contacts are not reliable. Magnetoresistive sensors or hall effect sensors need a magnet on the moving part.

Soft Sensor Design via Switching Observers
Sensors, 2023 The goal of the paper is the design of soft sensors for single input single output (SISO) nonlinear processes. This goal is of essential importance for process monitoring, fault detection and fault isolation. The observer-based technique, being a fruitful direction in soft sensor design, is followed to develop soft sensors for nonlinear processes with ...
