    摘要: A live pilot sensing apparatus is presented herein. The apparatus includes a pneumatic cylinder, sensing plate, and at least one stabilizing plate. The cylinder includes a piston and is configured to connect to the die of a stamping system. The sensing plate is configured to connect with the distal end of the piston. The stabilizing plate is configured to connect with an exposed segment along the cylinder piston, between the sensing plate and cylinder. Moreover, the piston is configured to react upon substantial contact between the sensing plate and a portion of a foreign object within the stamping system.

    摘要: A sensor of a position detecting device includes a sensor body, a magnetic detector, and at least one engagement protrusion that extends from a position in the vicinity of the magnetic detector. The engagement protrusion engages with an engagement hole disposed on a casing. An anti-rotation hole is disposed on the casing in a position spaced apart from the engagement hole. An anti-rotation pin is disposed on the sensor body, and engages with the anti-rotation hole to prevent the casing and the sensor body from rotating relatively to each other about the engagement hole. At least a part of the engagement protrusion is in contact with an inner wall of the engagement hole on a straight line L connecting a center of the magnetic detector and a center of the anti-rotation pin.

    摘要: A foot presence sensor system for an active article of footwear can include a sensor housing configured to be disposed at or in an insole of the article, and a controller circuit, disposed within the sensor housing, configured to trigger one or more automated functions of the footwear based on a foot presence indication. In an example, the sensor system includes a capacitive sensor, and the sensor is configured to sense changes in a foot proximity to the sensor in footwear. Information about the sensed proximity can be used to determine a foot velocity characteristic, which in turn can be used to update an automated footwear function, such as an automatic lacing function, or can be used to determine a step count, foot strike force, a rate of travel, or other information about a foot, about an activity, or about the footwear.

    摘要: A method is provided for controlling a gimbal including a mounting member. The method includes determining, through a magnetic sensor, a first deflection angle of the mounting member around a yaw axis in a time period. The method also includes determining, through an inertial measurement unit, a second deflection angle of the mounting member around the yaw axis in the time period. The method also includes determining an angle error of the inertial measurement unit based on the first deflection angle and the second deflection angle. The method further includes controlling attitude of the gimbal based on measurement data of the inertial measurement unit in which the angle error has been corrected.

    摘要: A rotation angle measuring apparatus and method are provided for measuring a rotation angle of a moving disk relative to a stationary disk, the moving disk being configured to rotate about an axis and the stationary disk being arranged opposite the moving disk. A magnet is arranged on the moving disk. A first magnetic sensor is arranged on the stationary disk, the first magnetic sensor generating an angle signal under the action of the magnet as the moving disk rotates. An incremental rotation angle of the moving disk is determined on the basis of an output of the receiving region, a period of the static electric field is determined on the basis of an angle signal generated by the first magnetic sensor, and an absolute rotation angle of the moving disk is determined on the basis of the period of the static electric field and the incremental rotation angle.

    摘要: A sensor arrangement is provided. The sensor arrangement includes a rotatable shaft extending along a rotation axis; a magnet module coupled to the rotatable shaft configured to generate a magnetic field; and a sensing element configured to sense a rotating magnetic field caused by the magnet module upon rotation of the rotatable shaft around the rotation axis. The rotatable shaft incudes a bore extending within a shaft end portion along the rotation axis. The magnet module is coupled to at least one face of the bore and configured to generate the magnetic field within the bore. The sensing element has a sensitive spot, the sensitive spot being arranged within the bore and exposed to the rotating magnetic field.
