Presence, Displacement, and Level

  • Jacob Fraden

Abstract

Detectors of presence indicate position of an object at a selected position or within a predefined system of coordinates. By definition, the presence detector is a static, time invariant device.

Keywords

Magnetic Flux Fiber Bragg Grating Eddy Current Displacement Sensor Liquid Level 
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
