We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Magnetic Sensor",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Linear measurement system offers 5um resolution from
Lika Electronic, which we summarised at the time by saying "The high transmission rate of BiSS and the 1Vpp signals enable the SMA1 to handle feedback applications on linear motors and linear axes".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Output monitors rotation mechanisms from
Alps Electric (UK): "Minute angle detection helps users to precisely achieve subtleness and smoothness in device operation".
In January 2007, we covered the news from Renishaw
concerning its 13bit magnetic sensor
- take a look at Magnetic sensor is top product for NASA
which says: "13bit magnetic sensor for rotary and angular positioning control has been named Product of the Month for November 2006 by NASA Tech Briefs magazine".
Take a look also at the news release from Eltra, Magnetic sensor scores over optical systems,
as well as Magnetic sensor works three ways from Inertial Aerosystems UK,
and Two-axis magnetic sensor in 3 by 3mm package from Inertial Aerosystems UK.
