  • Energy harvesting clutch control assembly, valve assembly, and electrically actuated clutch
    Patent number: 11260739
    Abstract: A clutch assembly includes a clutch mechanism and an energy harvesting device. The clutch mechanism includes an input member, an output member, and an actuating mechanism to govern selective torque transmission from the input member to the output member. The actuating mechanism is powered by electrical current. The energy harvesting device is electrically connected to the actuating mechanism, and the energy harvesting device is configured to scavenge available energy to generate the electrical current that powers the actuating mechanism.

  • Systems, devices, and/or methods for managing a thermocouple module
    Patent number: 9995640
    Abstract: Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system, which can comprise a thermocouple input module. The thermocouple input module can be adapted to determine one or more calibration factors. The thermocouple input module can be adapted to store the calibration factors. The thermocouple input module can be adapted to apply the calibration factors to an incoming thermocouple voltage value to obtain an adjusted thermocouple voltage value.

  • Magnetic read element shield having dimensions that minimize domain wall movement
    Patent number: 6222702
    Abstract: A shield for a read element of a magnetic recording head is disclosed. The shield includes a first and a second triangular shaped closure magnetic domains positioned approximate a top surface of the shield such that a first surface of each of the first and second magnetic domains are formed by a portion of a first side of the shield and a second side of the shield, respectively. The shield also includes a third and a fourth triangular shaped closure magnetic domains positioned approximate the bottom surface of the shield. A first surface of the third and fourth magnetic domains are formed by a portion of the first side and the second side of the shield, respectively. A first magnetic domain wall is positioned between the first and second triangular shaped closure magnetic domains, while a second magnetic domain wall is positioned between the third and fourth triangular shaped closure magnetic domains.
