Abstract:
A system may include a dial wheel having a first magnet located at a first orbital position of the dial wheel and a second magnet located at a second orbital position of the dial wheel. A polarity of the first magnet at a surface of the dial wheel is opposite a polarity of the second magnet at the surface of the dial wheel. A sensor board includes a first magnetic sensor for sensing a magnetic field and is configured so that the first and second magnets cause the first magnetic sensor to generate an output pulse for each rotation of the dial wheel. The pulsed output is indicative of a volume of resource consumed.

Claim (Index 1):
A pulse sensor, comprising:\n a dial wheel having a first magnet located at a first orbital position of the dial wheel and a second magnet located at a second orbital position of the dial wheel, wherein a polarity of the first magnet at a surface of the dial wheel is opposite a polarity of the second magnet at the surface of the dial wheel; a sensor board including a first magnetic sensor for sensing a magnetic field, wherein the sensor board is positioned so that during a rotation of the dial wheel relative to the sensor board when the dial wheel is in a first position the first magnet is aligned with the first magnetic sensor and when the dial wheel is in a second position the second magnet is aligned with first magnetic sensor; and the first magnetic sensor configured to generate a pulsed output for each rotation of the dial wheel, wherein\n when the dial wheel is in a first position, the pulsed output is a first value; \n as the dial wheel rotates from the first position to the second position, the pulsed output remains at the first value until the magnetic field sensed by the first magnetic sensor reaches a second threshold value; \n once the magnetic field reaches the second threshold value, the pulsed output switches to a second value and remains at the second value until the dial wheel rotates to the second position; \n as the dial wheel rotates from the second position to the first position, the pulsed output remains at the second value until the magnetic field sensed by the first magnetic sensor reaches a first threshold value; and \n once the magnetic field reaches the first threshold value, the pulsed output switches to the first value.
