The invention relates to a sensor, in particular, a magnetostrictive or magnetoelastic sensor, comprising at least one core element which consists of a ferromagnetic material. Said core element is at least partially surrounded by at least one coil. The core element or elements are placed into a housing which is subjected to tensile and/or pressure forces, in order to determine the moment of force and/or the torque.

Sensor, in particular, a magnetostrictive or magnetoelastic sensor

A method for loading an aircraft (R) with shipping containers ( ), the latter being passed on conveyor members ( ) into the interior of the aircraft (R) and rotated there in a loading area ( ), the position of the shipping container ( ) in the loading area ( ) is determined and the conveyor members ( ) are operated via a control system in accordance with the determined position to rotate the shipping container ( ).

Method and apparatus for loading an aircraft

A device for registering the displacement travel and/or the displaced position of a sliding component, which is moved free of torsion, of a linear drive is intended to be implemented on a small scale and with display precision. For this purpose, the device is equipped with at least two magneto-resistive sensors which act within a separate magnetic field, respectively assigned to the displacement component in different regions located one behind the other.
