Patent number: 10126342Abstract: A method and system provides current, from an electrical hub, to a device. The method and system further receives, at the electrical hub, an indication that the device is in a first configuration state of a plurality of configuration states. An example includes detecting, at the electrical hub, a detected current value of the current sent to the device. Processes include determining, at the electrical hub, whether to generate an error indication based on a comparison of the detected current value and a first reference value or range of values associated with the first configuration state.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2015Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: BOSE CORPORATIONInventors: Douglas C. Moore, Anthony John Marino, Neil Gelfond

Patent number: 9885554Abstract: A magnetic sensing device including a U-shaped magnet with a pair of legs and a base defining a first interior channel and a distal plane. A sensor assembly in the first interior channel includes a sensor that extends above the distal plane. The magnet generates a first region of low or no flux above the distal plane in a first position of the magnet, a second region of low or no magnetic flux in the interior channel in a second position of the magnet, and a third region of magnetic flux above the distal plane in the second position of the magnet which causes the sensor to activate a control signal. The base includes steps and a second interior channel that opens into the first interior channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2013Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: CTS CORPORATIONInventors: Douglas C.
