  • Publication number: 20240012034
    Abstract: A device for determining a current flowing through a conductor is disclosed. The device includes a magnetic field sensor unit having at least one first sensor element and a second sensor element, each of which detects a magnetic field strength along a detection direction. The device is designed to determine the current according to the magnetic field strengths detected by way of the first sensor element and the second sensor element. The conductor has a constriction transversely to the longitudinal direction of the conductor, and the magnetic field sensor unit is positioned on the conductor in such a way that the first sensor element is positioned above a first region of the conductor and the second sensor element is positioned above a second region of the conductor, the first region and the second region differing from one another in width due to the constriction.

  • Patent number: 11165098
    Abstract: An electrolyte composition containing at east one compound of formula (I) where R1, R2 and R3 are selected independently from each other from H, C1 to C12 alkyl, C3-C6 (hetero)cycloalkyl, C2 to C12 alkenyl, C2 to C12 alkynyl, CN, NR?R?, CHO, C5 to C12 (hetero)aryl, and C6 to C24 (hetero)aralkyl. Alkyl, (hetero)cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, (hetero)aryl, and (hetero)aralkyl are optionally substituted with one or more substituents selected from CN, NR?R?, and CHO. R? and R? are selected independently from each other from H and C1 to C6 alkyl. At least one of R1, R2 and R3 is not H or C1 to C12 alkyl.

  • Patent number: 8148976
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for the contactless determination of conductivity-influencing properties and their spatial distribution over the entire cross section of an electrically conductive substance moving in a primary magnetic field (B). The substance may be a liquid or a solid. A simultaneous measurement of a number of mechanical state parameters of the magnetic system is performed (three-dimensional components of the force and the torque), said parameters being variable by the effect of a secondary field on the magnetic system, the secondary field being produced on the basis of eddy currents induced in the substance by the primary field (B). To determine the spatial distribution of the property that is sought, the primary field is changed in intensity or form a number of times and a measurement of the state parameters is carried out for each change.
