  • Patent number: 10371550
    Abstract: A device includes a magnetic core adapted to couple to a tube through which an ionic fluid flows, the core coupled at two ends of the core to opposite sides of the tube. A set of windings is coupled to generate a magnetic field in the core such that the ionic fluid in the tube is subjected to a magnetic field between the two ends of the core coupled to the opposite sides of the tube. A set of electrodes is positioned to detect an electric field generated as a function of the ionic fluid flow and magnetic field in the tube.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9689904
    Abstract: An electrical bus bar system (10) is provided for mounting a plurality of current sensor devices (12) in close proximity to each other, each of the current sensor devices (12) having a sense axis (14). The system includes a plurality of elongate bus bars (16) extending along longitudinal axes (18) parallel to each other. The bus bars (16) are spaced from each other along a transverse axis (20) that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axes (18). Each bus bar has a current sensor mount portion (22) configured to mount one of the current sensor devices (12) with the sense axis (14) extending parallel to the transverse axis (20).

  • Patent number: 9488699
    Abstract: Devices for sensing current are described herein. One device includes a first magnetic sensor configured to determine a first magnetic field associated with a current conductor while the current conductor is conducting a current, a second magnetic sensor, a particular distance from the first magnetic sensor, configured to determine a second magnetic field associated with the current conductor while the current conductor is conducting the current, and a fastener configured to secure the current sensor to the current conductor such that the first and second magnetic sensors are on a plane substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the current conductor.

  • Patent number: 7786440
    Abstract: A multispectral imaging array system and method of forming the same. A substrate and a group of antennas can be located with respect to one another on the substrate, such that respective gaps are formed between each antenna group and wherein different antenna sizes may be used for different spectral ranges. Additionally, one or more nanowires can be located within one or more gaps among the respective gaps, such that the nanowires in communication with the antennas and the substrate comprise a multispectral imaging system in which the use of the nanowire(s) decreases the thermal time constant and therefore the read out rate from the antennas while decreasing the ambient gas cooling speed relative to the read out rate to increase the manufacturability of the multispectral imaging array system.
