Abstract
A signal generating device comprising a bistable magnetic device which alters its magnetic state when the density of magnetic flux to which it is subject passes through a predetermined value, and detecting means providing an output signal responsive to a change in magnetic state of said bistable device. A conducting means for magnetic flux comprises a first portion providing a first path of high permeability and a second portion, and has the bistable device connected between the first and second portions for conducting therebetween and being subjected to the conducted magnetic flux. The second portion provides second and third paths through the bistable device, each having a respectively alterable permeance for varying in an opposite relationship the respective reluctance of the second and third paths of the conducting means and the density and sense of magnetic flux to which the bistable device is subject. An energizing means provides magnetic flux of a given polarity to the conducting means for altering the state of the bistable device with the reluctance variations of said conducting means.
