  • Patent number: 4083025
    Abstract: A magnetic latching relay includes three control windings disposed about an encapsulated reed switch having a pair of reeds constructed of a remanent magnetic material. A first winding is disposed about one reed and second and third windings are disposed about the other reed. The windings are arranged so that a current pulse applied to the first and second winding generates magnetic flux fields in the same direction that produce magnetic poles of opposite polarity at the contacting ends of the reeds and causes the contacting ends to close while a current pulse applied to the first and third windings generates magnetic flux fields in the opposite direction that in turn produces magnetic poles of like polarity at the contacting ends and causes the contacting ends to open.

  • Patent number: 4031460
    Abstract: An apparatus designed for measuring the magnetic flux distribution along magnetizable members, specifically, magnetically latching reed capsules, which apparatus is characterized by an elongate thrust arm, in tubular form, which is mounted to reciprocate along a path provided by spaced support members and which has a drive connection with a motor at one end thereof so that a tubular portion at the opposite end which carries search coils with leads enabling connection to an oscilloscope for recording flux intensity, will telescope the magnetic members which are supported in a holder at that end of the path and which extend into a tubular portion of a bobbin member mounted at that end of the path, within which the search coil is reciprocated and on which an energizing coil may be wound with connection to a current source.
