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 14):
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 an edge of the dial wheel is opposite a polarity of the second magnet at the edge of the dial wheel; a first magnetic sensor for sensing a magnetic field, wherein the first magnetic sensor is positioned outside and adjacent to a circumference of the dial wheel, wherein the first magnetic sensor is positioned so that during a rotation of the dial wheel relative to the first magnetic sensor when the dial wheel is in a first position the first magnet is aligned with the first magnetic sensor; a second magnetic sensor for sensing a magnetic field, wherein the second magnetic sensor is positioned outside and adjacent to the circumference of the dial wheel and at a position located ninety degrees around the dial wheel from the first magnetic sensor, so that during a rotation of the dial wheel relative to the second magnetic sensor when the dial wheel is in a second position the first magnet is aligned with the second magnetic sensor; wherein for each rotation of the dial wheel, the first magnetic sensor is configured to generate a first pulsed output and the second magnetic sensor is configured to generate a second pulsed output, wherein\n when the dial wheel is in a first position, the first magnet is aligned with the first magnetic sensor and the first pulsed output is a first value; \n as the dial wheel rotates from the first position to the second position, the first magnet is aligned with the second magnetic sensor and the second pulsed output is at the first value; \n as the dial wheel rotates from the second position to a third position, the second magnet is aligned with the first magnetic sensor and the first pulsed output is at a second value; and \n as the dial wheel rotates from the third position to fourth position, the second magnet is aligned with the second magnetic sensor and the second pulsed output is at the second value.
