Abstract: The invention relates to a device (30) for connecting electrical components (20, 22) with a power supply (42). The invention is distinguished in that the device (30) is formed by a three-dimensionally bent wire (32), in which contact regions (36) are formed at least at its ends, preferably also in between. In relation to known devices, which create a connection with power rails or by contact plates, the device according to the invention is producible substantially more simply and cost-effectively and can be three-dimensionally formed nearly arbitrarily.

Abstract: A force measuring device is provided, which comprises a transducer device that has a plurality of magnets and generates a magnetic field, and a sensor device that is sensitive to a magnetic field and is arranged in a space in front of the transducer device, the transducer device and the sensor device being movable relative to each other under the action of a force, wherein the magnets of the transducer device are positioned in a quadrupole arrangement relative to the sensor device, and the sensor device comprises at least one first sensor element and one second sensor element, the first sensor element being associated with a first magnetic pole or a first pair of magnetic poles, and the second sensor element being associated with a second magnetic pole or a second pair of magnetic poles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a load gauge comprising a generator-sensor assembly. Said assembly comprises a generator unit that generates a magnetic field and a sensor unit that is sensitive to magnetic fields, said generator unit and sensor unit being displaceable by a force in relation to one another. According to the invention, the generator unit comprises at least one permanent magnet and a second permanent magnet, each with a geometric cross-section that remains essentially constant in a longitudinal direction. The first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet are situated at an angle to one another.
