PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a low consumption current capacitance type sensing device in which consumption current is lowered by impressing single-shot voltage at a required frequency. SOLUTION: This sensing device includes a stator 10, and a mover 20 facing the stator 10 to relatively be displaced. The stator 10 includes an excitation electrode group comprising two or more excitation electrodes 11 which are periodical and electrically-independent from each other, and a received electrode 14 electrically-independent from the above excitation electrode group. The mover 20 includes an excitation means 30 which includes both two or more coupling electrodes 21 facing the excitation electrode group to be periodically-arranged and a transmission electrode 22 electrically-connected with all the plural coupling electrodes 21 to excite the excitation electrodes 11, and a signal processor 40 for processing any detected signal appeared in the received electrode 14. The excitation means 30 applies pulse voltage in combination with predetermined sequence, while the signal processor 40 determines if the mover 20 is contained in any of quadrants with one period equally-divided among at least three, when arrangement period of the excitation electrode group is considered as one period from the detected signal.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a synchronous clock generating circuit which can be configured inexpensively. SOLUTION: Two-phase angle signals S1, S2 outputted from an angle detector 10 are squared by first and second squaring circuits 11, 12. The respective squared signals are added by an adding circuit 14. A DC component of an output signal from the adding circuit 14 is removed by a filter 16. The output signal from the filter 16 is compared with a reference potential by a comparator 18 to generate a rectangular-wave signal, and the phase of the rectangular-wave signal is delayed by a prescribed amount by a phase shifter 20. The frequency of the output signal from the phase shifter 20 is divided by 2 by a frequency dividing circuit 22 in synchronization with an excitation signal supplied to the angle detector 10 to generate a synchronous clock SQ3.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate a reference signal that has exactly the same phase as an excitation signal component included in resolver detection signals, without any limitation depending on the rotation speed of the resolver. SOLUTION: The reference signal generation circuit 50 generates a reference signal used in synchronous detection for removing an excitation signal component in an angle calculation section 40 that converts a detection angle θ obtained from two-phase resolver detection signals output from a resolver 20, to a digital output angle ϕ. The reference signal generation circuit 50 includes: a first multiplier 51 which multiplies one of the resolver detection signals sinθ sin(ωt+Δω) by the sine value sinϕ of the digital output angle ϕ obtained from the angle calculation section 40; a second multiplier 52 which multiplies the other resolver detection signal cosθ sin(ωt+Δω) by the cosine value cosϕ of the digital output angle ϕ obtained from the angle calculation section 40, and an adder 53 which adds the output of the first multiplier 51 and the output of the second multiplier 52 to generate a reference signal sin(ωt+Δω).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a photo detector adaptable to various resolutions of a scale slit. SOLUTION: Two adjacently disposed optical encoder photo detectors adaptable to a scale slit having a reference resolution are paired as one set. A plurality of sets of photo detectors form an assembly. In each set, the output lines of two adjacent division photo diodes are interconnected and the output lines of corresponding division photo diodes between the sets are interconnected to make the two adjacent division photo diodes function like one division photo diode and thus to reduce the resolution of an adapted scale slit to 1/2 the reference resolution. Changing only the wiring is enough to easily and cheaply make the division photo diode adaptable to the scale slit having a resolution, a half of the reference resolution, without changing the shape of the division photo diode.
