    摘要: A position detection device for detecting a position of a rack shaft having a rack teeth portion that meshes with a pinion gear in a part in an axial direction, is provided with a capacitance member that is arranged around a periphery of the rack shaft and forms a capacitive load together with the rack shaft, and a calculation unit that calculates the position of the rack shaft based on a capacitance between the rack shaft and the capacitance member. The capacitance member is arranged to face at least a part of the rack teeth portion. The capacitance changes in accordance with the position of the rack shaft.

    摘要: Disclosed are a device and a method for generating ultrasonic scan image information, which can convert a rotatory motion of a motor into a linear reciprocating motion of an ultrasonic probe to allow the ultrasonic probe to scan a subject at high speed, and rapidly generate an accurate three-dimensional ultrasonic image by using a trigger signal. The device for generating ultrasonic scan image information disclosed herein converts a unidirectional rotatory motion of a driving motor into a linear reciprocating motion of a ultrasonic probe connected to the driving motor and two-dimensionally scans a subject by the linear motion of the probe and a vertical motion perpendicular to the linear motion so as to generate an image of the subject. The device may comprise: an ultrasonic irradiation/reception unit for irradiating a subject with ultrasonic waves through a probe and receiving a reflection signal of the irradiated ultrasonic waves through the probe; a signal conversion unit for receiving the reflection signal and converting the reflection signal into a digital image signal; a main control unit for receiving the digital image signal and generating ultrasonic image information about the subject; and a trigger control unit for generating a trigger signal on the basis of motion information of the probe, wherein the ultrasonic image information is generated in synchronization with the trigger signal.

    摘要: An inductive position-measuring device includes a scanning element and a graduation element movable relative thereto along a direction. The scanning element has an excitation conductor, and first and second receiver tracks each having a receiver conductor, which extends along the direction according to first and second periodic patterns, respectively, over a length. A graduation track has graduation structures formed of ridges and gaps. The ridges have different widths, or the gaps have different depths or different widths, in the direction. The receiver conductors of the first and second receiver tracks are configured to generate first and second signals having first and second period lengths, respectively, wherein n times the first period length equals m times the second period length, with m and n being relatively prime, and n times the first period length and m times the second period length both being less than or equal to the length.

    摘要: A position detection device includes a magnetic detection element that is positioned radially outside a first clutch component portion and a second clutch component portion of a dog clutch around an axis. The magnetic detection element is provided between a first magnetic flux path portion and a second magnetic flux path portion. The magnetic detection element outputs a sensor signal indicating the direction of a magnetic flux passing between the first magnetic flux path portion and the second magnetic flux path portion. The magnetic detection element outputs a sensor signal indicating a position relationship between the first clutch component portion concerning a first hole portion as well as a first tooth portion and the second clutch component portion concerning the second hole portion as well as the second tooth portion, based on changes in magnetic flux directions depending on the position relationship in a rotation direction around the axis.
