  • Publication number: 20240077633
    Abstract: A multi-purpose detection circuit for object detection and vehicle position determination is described. For example, the circuit is configurable for detecting foreign metallic objects, living objects, and a vehicle or type of vehicle above an inductive wireless power transmitter. The circuit is also configurable for determining the vehicle's position relative to the inductive wireless power transmitter. An example apparatus includes a measurement circuit including a multiplexer, electrically connected to a plurality of inductive and capacitive sense circuits, for measuring one or more electrical characteristics in each of the inductive and capacitive sense circuits according to a predetermined time multiplexing scheme.

  • Publication number: 20180187737
    Abstract: A damping valve arrangement for a vibration damper includes a damping piston with a check valve and a control arrangement with a control piston. A spring element is arranged between the control piston and the check valve that loads a valve disk axially in direction of a flow channel and the control piston in direction of the pot base 30 with a defined spring force. A surface of the control piston facing the control space is greater than a surface of the valve disk bounded by the flow channel. A smallest cross-sectional area Az of the inlet connection opening into the control space and a smallest cross-sectional area Aa of the outlet connection leading out of the control space are dimensioned such that their ratio to one another is between 0.2 and 5 according to the condition Az/?{square root over (Aa)}.
