  • Patent number: 11754646
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides magnetic sensor system that includes a magnetic sensor package comprising a magnetic single turn sensor and a magnetic multi-turn sensor, and a shield arrangement for shielding the magnetic sensor from stray magnetic fields. The shielding arrangement comprises a ferromagnetic tube that houses one or more magnets and connects to an end of rotating shaft, such that rotation of the shaft causes a corresponding rotation of the ferromagnetic tube and magnets. The magnetic sensor package is positioned on a surface of a PCB substrate, which is positioned in close proximity to the ferromagnetic tube and magnet arrangement. A shielding device is then arranged in close proximity to the magnetic sensor package, for example, on the opposite side of the PCB substrate or directly between the PCB substrate and the ferromagnetic tube, to provide additional shielding of any stray magnetic fields.

  • Publication number: 20150011697
    Abstract: In a first aspect, a melt-processible interpolymer consists essentially of units derived from vinyl fluoride and at least two highly fluorinated monomers, at least one of the highly fluorinated monomers introducing into the polymer a side chain of at least one carbon atom. The interpolymer has a melt flow rate in a range of from about 2 to about 250 grams per 10 minutes at a temperature of 280° C. In a second aspect, an emulsion polymerization process for preparing a melt-processible interpolymer includes polymerizing vinyl fluoride and at least two highly fluorinated monomers in water with a water-soluble free-radical initiator at a temperature in the range of from about 60 to about 100° C. and a pressure in the range of from about 1 to about 12 MPa.
