  • Patent number: 11604081
    Abstract: An integrated rotation angle determining sensor unit in a measuring system for determining a rotation angle, comprising a shaft, rotatable around a rotation axis, having a transducer, a first semiconductor layer designed as a die being provided, which has an upper side arranged perpendicularly to the rotation axis and an underside and a first Hall sensor system monolithically formed in the first semiconductor layer, and a second semiconductor layer designed as a die being provided, which has an upper side arranged perpendicularly to the rotation axis and an underside and a second Hall sensor system monolithically formed in the second semiconductor layer, each Hall sensor system including at least one first Hall sensor and a second Hall sensor and a third Hall sensor.

  • Patent number: 11486733
    Abstract: An integrated rotation-angle sensor unit in a measuring system for rotation angle determination, with a shaft that is rotatable about an axis of rotation with a transmitter, The sensor unit has a semiconductor layer with a top surface that can be arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation and has a bottom surface, and two monolithic Hall sensor systems are implemented in the semiconductor layer. Each Hall sensor system has at least a first Hall sensor, a second Hall sensor, and a third Hall sensor, and the three Hall sensors of the first Hall sensor system are arranged on a first circle that is parallel to the top surface of the semiconductor layer and can be arranged concentrically around the axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 11156477
    Abstract: A rotation angle measurement method and a circuit, a rotation angle measuring system including a shaft, a transducer, a first sensor system with at least one magnetic field sensor of a first type for measuring a magnetic field component Bz and a second sensor system with at least one magnetic field sensor of a second type for detecting magnetic field components Bx, By being provided, a first or second measured value being ascertained with the aid of each sensor system at a first point in time, a first or second rotation angle value being determined for each measured value, a first output rotation angle value being determined from the first rotation angle value and a known constant angle offset between the two sensor systems as a reference value for the second sensor system, a deviation of the second rotation angle value from the first output rotation angle value being ascertained.

  • Publication number: 20050086073
    Abstract: A system and method for storing and retrieving medical directives is provided. Medical directives are received from a plurality of members and stored retrievably in memory. A request is received for a medical directive from a requesting user, the request comprising either the name, identification number, or name and identification number, of the member. The memory is searched for a medical directive corresponding to the information provided by the requesting user, and a corresponding medical directive is made available to the requesting user.
