  • Publication number: 20040070282
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor arrangement, for example for determining the position and/or motion of an element or part which has at least one sensor unit and an electronic supply and receiving unit, the two units being accommodated in housings which are independent of one another, characterized in that the energy for operating at least one sensor unit (3, 3′) is transmitted between the housings (5 and 6) by magnetic induction, the housing (6) of the supply and receiving unit (4) containing a primary coil (7) which is electrically connected to the latter, the housing (5) of at least one sensor unit (3, 3′) containing a secondary coil (8) which is electrically connected to the latter, of a thus jointly formed transformer (7 and 8), and that the sensor states are transmitted by means of wireless transmission to the supply and receiving unit (4).

  • Patent number: 6532650
    Abstract: A process for the production of a device for measuring or detecting, particularly a probe or a detector, includes the steps of pre-mounting the different active components of the device, of which certain are ultimately gathered in functional subassemblies on and/or in a support body, then potting the pre-mounted resulting assembly, as well as its connection regions with a connection and/or supply cable, to form a substantially monoblock member and, finally, overmolding under pressure the potted member, as well as the proximal portion of the cable, with a thermoplastic material compatible with the resin used, to obtain an apparatus or instrument having the desired shape.
