Abstract: An electric current detector has a bus bar with a current direction changing section for changing a direction of electric current through the bus bar, and a magnetic detector disposed in the current direction changing section of the bus bar. The current direction changing section of the bus bar has a pair of parallel portions at which the bus bar is orthogonally deformed, and a connection portion at which the pair of parallel portions are connected, and the magnetic detector is disposed between the pair of parallel portions. The magnetic detector has a magnetic detection element disposed on a substrate, and a yoke surrounding the substrate and allowing the magnetic detection element to be placed between both ends thereof.

Abstract: When a magnetic substance (104) is brought close to or separated away from an MR sensor (102), so that a direction of a magnetic flux (103) caused to flow through the MR sensor (102) is changed, an output voltage from the MR sensor (102) changes. Also, when a change in output voltage from the MR sensor (102) exceeds a threshold set by a designer, a comparison portion (303) judges that switches (309a, 309b) should be turned ON, and outputs suitable signals to corresponding portions, respectively.

Abstract: A rotational direction sensor for a body such as a steering shaft of an automobile, which is rotatable from a preferred neutral position in either the clockwise or the anticlockwise rotational direction. When an actuating assembly is rotated in the clockwise rotational direction by more than a predetermined amount from the neutral position, a first switch is actuated so as to conduct a first electric current, while a second switch is not actuated, and when the actuating assembly is then returned to the neutral position in the anticlockwise rotational direction, the second switch is actuated to conduct a second electric current. An opposite switch actuation sequence occurs for initial anticlockwise and then clockwise rotation of the actuating assembly. A control circuit generates a first electric signal when it receives the first and then the second electric current as a pair and a second electric signal when it receives the second and then the first electric current as a pair.
