  • Patent number: 8961242
    Abstract: A connection plug for a portable terminal includes a plurality of plug connection terminals of different types disposed on one plane in a case and connected with socket connection terminals mounted to a socket. Here, ends of the plurality of plug connection terminals to be connected with the socket connection terminals are disposed in different positions. The plurality of plug connection terminals are in different lengths. Accordingly, since different types of plug connection terminals of the connection plug are mounted on one plane such that the ends of the plug connection terminals are disposed in different positions, thickness of the connection plug may be minimized. Also, different functions may be performed with one connection plug. In addition, since different plug connection terminals are in different lengths, connection between the respective connection terminals may be stably achieved when the connection plug is inserted in the socket.

  • Publication number: 20150046117
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for contactlessly measuring a relative position of a magnetic field source (102) which produces a magnetic field and a magnetic field sensor (100) in relation to each other. The present invention further also relates to a corresponding displacement sensor. The invention describes an operating principle of a sensor which is based on the Hall effect and which achieves an increase in the sensor output range with a magnet which is simultaneously reduced in size by storing the earlier value when control by the magnetic field is lost.

  • Patent number: 8946580
    Abstract: The present invention relates to contactors for unidirectional DC operation with permanent magnetic arc extinguishing. In addition to the blow magnets, the contactors are equipped with compensatory permanent magnets for compensating the magnetic field in the vicinity of the contact bridge in order to prevent contact levitation, i.e., an uncontrolled opening of the contacts that is due to a magnetic force generated by a strong current flowing through the contact bridge. To this end, the compensatory permanent magnets are arranged in the vicinity of the contact bridge and polarized in the opposite direction of the blow magnets. The magnetic field of the compensatory magnets and the current flowing through the contact bridge are generating a magnetic force that acts on the contact bridge and tends to keep the electrical contacts closed.

  • Publication number: 20140306693
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved contactless position sensor and a system incorporating same. Such a contactless position sensor comprises at least two sensor coils each comprising a magnetic permeable core and windings defining a coil axis. The at least two sensor coils are arranged with the coil axes essentially in parallel to each other. An electrical circuit of the sensor drives a predetermined alternating current within each of the at least two sensor coils and determines a high frequency voltage component of a voltage across each of the at least two sensor coils. The predetermined alternating current includes a low frequency current component, and a high frequency current component. The electrical circuit detects the position of a ferromagnetic target by subtracting from each other amplitude levels of the high frequency voltage components of two of the determined voltages and by comparing the subtraction result to a pre-determined reference pattern.
