  • Patent number: 8400748
    Abstract: In a magnetic coupler device comprising: a magnetic field generation circuit generating a magnetic field according to an input current; and a detection bridge circuit including a pair of magnetoresistance effect devices, a resistance value of each of the magnetoresistance effect devices changing by applying a magnetic field generated by said magnetic field generation circuit to each of the magnetoresistance effect devices, and having two outputs between which a voltage difference is generated according to an intensity of the magnetic field generated by said magnetic field generation circuit, by forming a geometric shape of each of said magnetic field generation circuit and said detection bridge circuit in line symmetric or point symmetric, a high S/N ratio is obtained even with high frequency.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 31, 2008
    Date of Patent: March 19, 2013
    Assignees: OMRON Corporation, The Research Institute for Electric and Magnetic Materials

  • Patent number: 6750744
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay is provided with an iron core (50) which has a virtually J-letter shape on a plan view with one end serving as a support-receiving portion (51) and the other end serving as a magnetic pole portion (52), and a movable iron member (60) which is supported by a movable contact member (70) attached to a corner thereof, and has a virtually L-letter shape on a plan view with one end (61) being supported on the support-receiving portion (51) of the iron core (50) so as to freely pivot thereon and an adsorb portion (62) that is the other end being allowed to face the magnetic pole portion (52) of the iron core (50) so as to be adsorbed thereon. The objective of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive electromagnetic relay which is less susceptible to deviations in the adsorb portion of the movable iron member that comes into contact with and separates from the magnetic pole portion of the iron core, and has stable operation characteristics.
