  • Proximity sensor assembly and inspection system
    Patent number: 8829923
    Abstract: A proximity sensor assembly with a sensing element having a substrate and an antenna pattern disposed on one or more planar surfaces of the substrate is disclosed. The cable is fed substantially parallel to the planar surfaces of the substrate and is attached to the side surface of the substrate, such that the cable is oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction of the electromagnetic field emitted from the sensing element.
    Type: Grant

  • INTEGRATED COLD JUNCTION COMPENSATION CIRCUIT FOR THERMOCOUPLE CONNECTIONS
    Publication number: 20120065923
    Abstract: An integrated cold junction compensation system for a thermocouple connection is disclosed. The system includes a temperature sensor integrated with a terminal at which the thermocouple wires terminate. The temperature sensor is integrated with the terminal proximal to a cold junction of a thermocouple, such that the temperature at the sensor location is substantially equal to that at the cold junction. The temperature sensor is further in electrical signal isolation from a circuit carrying voltage output by the thermocouple.
