Patents by Inventor FLORIAN HALLERMANN

FLORIAN HALLERMANN has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12571624
    Abstract: A method for initializing a Wiegand-sensor-based rotary angle measuring system. The method includes mounting the Wiegand-sensor-based rotary angle measuring system at a place of use, and feeding an initialization alternating current into a sensor coil which, after the mounting, radially surrounds a Wiegand wire. The initialization alternating current is provided with a current direction which alternates with time and with a current amplitude which decreases with time.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11913818
    Abstract: A sensor device includes an excitation magnet which generates an alternating excitation magnetic field, an energy generator having a pulse wire module in which electric energy pulses are generatable via the alternating excitation magnetic field, at least one sensor element which senses a physical variable and which provides a sensor signal, an evaluation unit which evaluates the sensor signal, and a wireless data interface which is connected to the evaluation unit via a data connection. The at least one sensor element and the evaluation unit are each electrically connected to the energy generator and are suppliable with an electric energy thereby.

  • Patent number: 11525663
    Abstract: A rotation angle measurement system for detecting a rotation of a shaft. The rotation angle measurement system includes the shaft which extends in an axial direction, a rotor unit having a sensor magnet, a stationary stator unit having a multi-turn sensor unit which is arranged radially spaced apart from the shaft and which has a Wiegand sensor, and a magnetic shielding arrangement for the Wiegand sensor. The rotor unit is connected to the shaft to rotate therewith and radially surrounds the shaft. The multi-turn sensor unit functionally interacts with the sensor magnet to detect revolutions thereof. The magnetic shielding arrangement is made from a material having a high magnetic permeability. The magnetic shielding arrangement includes shielding elements which are arranged to surround the Wiegand sensor on a radial inside, on a radial outside, on a first axial side, and on a second axial side thereof.
