  • Publication number: 20210148945
    Abstract: An apparatus of a rotary pulse encoder and a sleeve, including: a rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder; and a clamping sleeve; in which the rod-shaped rotary pulse encoder and the clamping sleeve are in a bore of a holder for sensing a rotational speed of a rotor, in which the clamping sleeve is positioned in the bore so as to be secured against rotation, and the rotary pulse encoder is friction-locked in the clamping sleeve with a sensor head so as to be axially displaceable, in which the sensor head has a non-cylindrically symmetrical cross-section at least in sections, and the clamping sleeve has at least one inwardly facing position-setting element, by which the sensor head is arranged in the clamping sleeve so as to be secured against rotation.

  • Patent number: 10801570
    Abstract: A sensor device for detecting brake pad and brake disc wear of a disc brake, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes a sensor device and a transmission unit. The sensor device has at least one transducer and at least one sensor transmission having at least one transmission input and is connected to a transducer. The transmission unit is connected to the transmission input and is designed to be connected to a threaded spindle of the disc brake to be associated therewith in order to transmit a wear-related rotary movement. The transmission unit has a drive sleeve for co-rotational connection to the threaded spindle, an output sleeve which is connected to the drive sleeve, at least one spring element and a driver for co-rotational connection to the transmission input, which is connected to the output sleeve for co-rotation therewith. A disc brake includes such a sensor device.

  • Patent number: 8010996
    Abstract: A network device and method are directed towards providing a client side sign-in seal for use detecting phishing attempts. In one embodiment, a user of a client device may provide anti-phishing data through a sign-in setup user interface for a website, application, or the like. In one embodiment, the anti-phishing data is an image provided by the user. The user may also provide text, symbols, an audio clip, or the like. The user may also modify aspects of the image, text, symbols, or the like, such as a color. When the user accesses the website, application, or the like, the client device may provide client device data used to locate and display the sign-in seal. If the user is being phished, the anti-phishing data may not be displayed or otherwise played.

  • Publication number: 20070040023
    Abstract: An antifraud device for use with a self service terminal having a fascia formed with an entry slot accessed by a bank card and a keypad has a control system for disabling the terminal in the event of tampering. A cover overlying the entry slot has an opening aligned with the entry slot of the card reader. The cover has a selected thickness thereby allowing the card to pass through it without allowing additional travel should something capable of reading the card be placed over the cove the entry slot. The cover has a breakaway contact adapted to sense unauthorized removal. A detector is provided to sense the presence of an unauthorized object proximate to the entry slot or keypad or both. A control system responsive to the breakaway contact and detector disables the terminal if the cover is removed or if the entry slot is covered by an unauthorized reader.
