    Abstract: A vehicle tire for a motor vehicle has a carcass, a belt, and tire tread. A device for generating data for determining tire-road adhesion or friction between the footprint of the vehicle tire and the road surface is provided. The device includes at least one magnetic sensor connected to a evaluation device. The at least one magnetic sensor has individual magnetic sensor elements forming cooperating sensor element pairs. The device also includes a magnetic field arranged in the belt and generated during tire manufacture by partial magnetization of the belt. The at least one magnetic sensor is arranged in at least one lug of the tire tread.

    Abstract: A force sensing module with vibration feedback is disclosed, comprising: a substrate, a frame and a plurality of magnetic sensors; the substrate is disposed with at least one tactile actuator, and the substrate has a touch operation surface and a mounting surface on opposite sides, the tactile actuator is mounted on the mounting surface; the frame is disposed with at least three buffer spacers, the buffer spacers connect the frame to the substrate; the magnetic sensor includes a magnet and a Hall element, one of the magnet and the Hall element is disposed on the frame, and the other is disposed on the substrate; thereby when a force is applied on the touch operation surface to make the substrate generate an offset, the Hall element outputs a force signal due to the voltage change caused by the approaching magnet, and the signal drives the tactile actuator to generate a vibration feedback.

    Abstract: An electric toothbrush (10) and method of operating an electric toothbrush. The electric toothbrush includes a handle portion (14) having a shaft (38) configured to receive a brushing load from a bristled end (18) of a brush head (12). A sensor assembly (30) is configured to determine a deflection proportional to the brushing load with respect to a first direction (24) associated with the brushing load. The sensor assembly includes an air gap (32) and is configured to determine the deflection based on changes in the air gap. A mounting bracket (50) is connected between opposite sides of the air gap, the mounting bracket having a first bending stiffness with respect to the first direction, and a second bending stiffness with respect to a second direction (28) generally opposite to the first direction. The first bending stiffness is greater than the second bending stiffness.

    Abstract: This invention concerns devices, systems, and methods to induce motion in cantilevers for actuation and sensing applications. Motion is induced by applying current to a ferromagnetic, magnetostrictive cantilever subject to bending stress, and hence strain (deflection), having both elastic and magnetoelastic components. The applied current creates a magnetic field that reorients the magnetoelastic strain component, changing the total strain and thus the total deflection. Changing deflection can be harnessed for actuation or work. Moreover, considering both static and dynamic deflection, measureable parameters that are associated with beam deflection, vibration frequency, and/or amplitude can be measured.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement for measuring a force and/or a torque (Mt) on a machine element extending along an axis, using the inverse magnetostrictive effect. The machine element has at least two magnetization areas for magnetization purposes, extending circumferentially around the axis. In addition, there are magnetically neutral areas, each area being arranged axially between the magnetization areas and/or axially next to the magnetization areas. The arrangement further includes at least one first magnetic sensor, a second magnetic sensor and a third magnetic sensor, each of which is designed to individually measure a direction component of a magnetic field caused by the magnetization and also by the force and/or torque (Mt) and each of which lies in a different axial position. According to the invention, the third magnetic sensor lies in an axial position of one of the magnetically neutral areas.

    Abstract: A robotic sensing and touch apparatus detects gradual deformations in a resilient surface, in contrast to conventional rigid member displacement. Hall effect sensors coupled to rare-earth magnets in a deformable base allow sensing of surface curvature and compression against grasped objects. The deformable base, such as a silicone mold or other resilient encapsulation, fixes a magnetic source and an opposed Hall effect sensor. Calibration of a received magnetic field is defined by a sensor element voltage in an “at rest” (undeformed) state, and at successive degrees of deformation resulting from compression of the deformable base that draws the magnet in different orientations relative to the Hall effect sensor. An array of magnet and sensor element pairs allows relative sensing over an area for detecting curvature of a translated or articulated member, or engagement with a curved surface.
