  • Connection assembly and pin with a welding section
    Patent number: 11641071
    Abstract: A pin has a compliant section at a first end and a welding section at a second end opposite the first end. The compliant section is electrically connected with a via of a printed circuit board. The welding section has a welded connection with a passive component.
    Type: Grant

  • Inductive sensor assembly for fluid measurements
    Patent number: 11156491
    Abstract: A sensor assembly that includes a sealed housing. A printed circuit board assembly including a first section that includes processing circuitry is disposed within the sealed housing and a second section that includes detection circuitry extends from the sealed housing. The sensor assembly also includes a conductive target movably coupled to the second section of the printed circuit board to vary net voltage of the detection circuitry as the conductive target moves along the second section to provide an output signal. The processing circuitry detects the output signal and converts the output signal into a linear representation of position of the conductive target in relation to the second section.

  • SEAT POSITION SENSOR ARRANGEMENT FOR AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20210213902
    Abstract: A seat position sensor arrangement for measuring a position of a seat with respect to a fixed part of an automotive vehicle includes a driving mechanism, a pair of wheels rotatably coupled by the driving mechanism and rotating with different angular speeds upon being driven by the driving mechanism, and at least one rotation sensor subassembly corresponding to each of the wheels. Each rotation sensor subassembly measures an angle of rotation of one of the wheels.
