  • Elevator door interlock
    Patent number: 7549516
    Abstract: An elevator door interlock incorporates cast parts thereby drastically reducing the number of parts required for assembly. Other elements are also incorporated to further reduce complexity in manufacturing, servicing, and configuration.
    Type: Grant

  • Specific location of hall chips for sensing redundant angular positions
    Patent number: 7116101
    Abstract: A Hall-effect sensor apparatus, system and method. In general, a substrate having a surface can be provided. A plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements can then be configured upon the substrate, such that the centerline of a sensing plane associated with the plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements is located towards the surface of substrate, which results in a reduction of the distance between the centerline of the plane of the plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements and an axis of rotation of an associated bias magnet, thereby optimizing the location of the plurality of Hall-effect sensing elements and minimizing sensitivity to misposition and an increase in sensing accuracy.
