  • Magnetic sensor system
    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.

  • Hinge assembly
    Patent number: 10152094
    Abstract: A device can include a first housing that includes a first thickness; a second housing that comprises a second thickness; and a hinge assembly that couples the first and second housings where the hinge assembly includes two hollow axles operatively coupled to the second housing; a coupling mechanism that couples the two hollow axles; two axles, each received by a respective bore of one of the hollow axles, operatively coupled to the first housing; and a coupling mechanism that couples the two axles.
