Patent number: 10082413Abstract: A potentiometric sensor, comprising: a potentiometer track; a collector track opposite the potentiometer track; a conductive magnetic cushion slider coupled to the potentiometer track and the collector track; and a sealed body housing the potentiometer track, the collector track, and the conductive magnetic cushion is disclosed. The potentiometric sensor may provide a variable output voltage indicative of a level of liquid in a container. The output voltage of the potentiometric sensor may be based on a position of a magnet, which may determine a position of the conductive magnetic cushion or a ferromagnetic spring. The magnet may be outside of the sealed body. As the sensor will be more cost effective and less space consuming, the totally sealed sensor incorporating the conductive magnetic cushion or a ferromagnetic spring may replace many applications that allow a hysteresis of less than 1 mm. Additionally, these applications may be used on rotary systems.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2015Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: M MICRO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventor: Frank Hermann Dietrich

Patent number: 9607605Abstract: An ultrasonic sensor and method for using the same are arranged for capturing a value document transported through a capture region of the ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor has an ultrasound transmitter arranged for emitting ultrasound into the capture region and an ultrasound receiver arranged for receiving ultrasound from the ultrasound transmitter from the capture region. A control and evaluation circuit is arranged for controlling the ultrasound transmitter and for capturing and evaluating the signals of the ultrasound receiver. A circuit carrier carries the control and evaluation circuit, the ultrasound transmitter, the ultrasound receiver, and conducting paths electrically connecting the control and evaluation circuit to the first and second ultrasonic transducers. The circuit carrier has a U-shaped configuration and two interconnected arm portions, and the ultrasound transmitter is held on one of the two arm portions and the ultrasound receiver on the other of the two arm portions.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2012Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: GIESECKE & DEVRIENT GMBHInventors: Hans-Uwe Moosler, Oskar Dicklberger, Joseph Lohner, Frank Hermann

Publication number: 20170068791Abstract: A system having preclinical emergency care modules which produce a complex condition dependent control system that is as integral as possible in combination with a human emergency worker. At the system level, an intelligent decision-making system is provided which leads to measures that are optimized for the situation with and without the emergency worker. The modules exhibit a different behavior depending on the situation and interaction. In the process, the emergency worker can be utilized as an additional sensor/actuator module. Based on all obtained sensor data, which is weighted differently, decision-making support is proposed to the emergency worker, or the system makes decisions automatically. The protected communication of the modules is of particular importance for this purpose.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2015Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Frank Hermann, Tobias Kalwa, Felix Klockner, Ulrich Palm, Norman Scotti
