  • Patent number: 5864274
    Abstract: A magneto-mechanical power system including a cylindrical soft-iron vessel with permanent magnets arranged to form a shunt-magnetic gap with the inside wall the soft-iron vessel. The neck of the flux conducting disk is surrounded by a current winding. A magnetically attractable pole disk lies on the neck of the soft-iron vessel. An electrically conducting ring is fastened to the pole disk. The pole disk activates mechanical and/or electrical safety devices. The system is activated by a current impulse sent to the current winding. Current in the current winding creates a field that displaces the magnetic flux path of the permanent magnet.

  • Patent number: 4625166
    Abstract: The present invention concerns devices with probes for measuring magnetic potentials. Potential differences between two points of a material in a magnetic field are measured with a plurality of Hall probes arranged on a curved line which connects the points. The voltage of each Hall probe is connected with the summation point of an operational amplifier whose output voltage is proportional to the potential difference P=.intg.H.multidot.ds. A similar arrangement may also be used to measure the current in a conductor.

  • Patent number: 4463313
    Abstract: Process and apparatus for measuring the hysteresis curves of magnetic materials when using a field coil and a potential coil of a size such that the ends of the latter coil project through the winding of the field coil. The process consists of integrating the output signal of the potential coil to obtain a first value, utilizing a voltage that is proportional to the field coil current to obtain a second value which is then added to the first value to obtain the field intensity H.In order to compensate for the presence of the legs of the potential coil, additional short windings of higher turn density are included in the field coil winding.

  • Patent number: 4384313
    Abstract: A process for demagnetizing components by subjecting them to the influences of the alternating magnetic field of a coil supplied by an oscillator circuit which includes a capacitor also includes providing a voltage supply to the oscillator at the resonant frequency and thereafter reducing the intensity of the alternating field acting on the components. This can be done in several ways, such as by varying the frequency of the supply voltage or by varying the capacitance connected in circuit with the coil. The process may also be used for calibrating permanent magnets.
