Abstract: A sensor for operating in an environment subjected to corrosive gases or liquids under pressure, including a housing inside which are installed: a sensing portion, at least one wire electrically connected to the sensing portion, and a seal for sealing the connection between the sensing portion and the at least one wire, with at least one through-hole receiving a portion of the at least one wire. The sensor further including a compressor installed inside the housing, movable with respect to the housing and adapted to contact the seal in order to compress. The seal is made from a single material that is softer than the material constituting the housing. Upon displacement of the compressor, the seal is deformed until the creation of a compression force exerted by the seal onto the portion of the at least one wire, prevents any passage of corrosive gases or liquids between the seal therebetween.

Abstract: A radial magnetic bearing having an inner rotor including a central shaft having a ferromagnetic armature mounted on the shaft and an outer stator providing a plurality of electromagnets including poles made of ferromagnetic material which project radially inwardly towards the rotor is provided. As such, air-gaps (e) are left between end faces of the poles and the ferromagnetic armature, and coils wound around the poles. The poles are extended through outer portions attached to a supporting member. Each pole and the corresponding outer portion are included in an angularly segmented module providing a stack of laminations made of ferromagnetic material. The outer portion defines shoulders with respect to the corresponding pole, the outer portion contacting outer portions of neighboring segmented modules and the outer portions of all segmented modules being assembled by clamping rings, wherein the coils located in free spaces around the poles are mounted in a string.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for measuring a programming current (PC) for a memory cell (MC) of a one-time programmable read-only memory array. The MC includes a fuse equivalent circuit (FEC) that includes a first current path (CP) having a first node, a second CP having a fuse of the memory cell and a second node, and a third CP. The PC is split into a first current, a second current and a third current that flow over the first CP, the second CP, and the third CP, respectively. A first voltage applied along the first path is divided to generate a second voltage at the first node, and an output voltage generated by an operational amplifier controls the second current to maintain a third voltage at the second node at substantially the same value as the second voltage so that the second current has a sufficiently low value and does not burn the fuse.
