Patent number: 11156676Abstract: In a GSR sensor element, tm and ti of rising pulse detection are close, and the induced voltage is significantly high at tm. Thus, a variation due to the magnetic field cannot be ignored. To remove an induced voltage from an output voltage and achieve a GSR sensor with a rising pulse detection system. On the basis of the knowledge that the polarity of an induced voltage becomes opposite relative to a direction of the current flowing in a magnetic wire, if one coil includes therein two magnetic wires in which currents of opposite polarities flow, an induced current is cancelled, allowing for the detection of a voltage in proportion to a magnetic field.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: ASAHI INTECC CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshinobu Honkura, Eiki Kikuchi, Kazue Kudo, Junichi Tanabe, Shinpei Honkura
