    摘要: A method for parking detection and identification of moveable apparatus, comprising following steps of: generating a magnetic field signal containing an unique identifier for identifying the moveable apparatus by a magnetic field generator disposed in the moveable apparatus; measuring magnetic field respectively by two magnetic field sensors of a magnetic field sensing apparatus disposed in a moveable-apparatus parking place or its peripheral area, wherein a first and a second magnetic field measurements are measured; and calculating a magnetic field measurement difference for obtaining the unique identifier, wherein the magnetic field measurement difference is a magnitude of a difference of the first and the second magnetic field measurements, or a magnitude of a difference of a first magnetic field component of the first magnetic field measurement along a characteristic direction and a second magnetic field component of the second magnetic field measurement along the characteristic direction.

    摘要: A manufacturing method for a fluxgate chip, comprising: firstly, selecting two high-resistance silicon wafers, electroplating a ferromagnetic core on the surface of one of the two high-resistance silicon wafers, and providing a ferromagnetic core cavity on the surface of the other high-resistance silicon wafer; then, bonding the two high-resistance silicon wafers up and down; next, respectively providing coil grooves, through grooves and electrode windows on the surfaces of opposite sides of the two high-resistance silicon wafers to form a silicon wafer mold; and finally, filling the surface of the silicon wafer mold with alloy. By means of electroplating, post-bonding and final etching, on the one hand, the formed fluxgate chip has both small thickness and sufficient strength, on the other hand, large-scale batch production of the fluxgate chip can be achieved, the working efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

    摘要: A compass includes a magnetic sensing element in the form of a coil surrounding magnetic material. Electric current is supplied to the coil in opposite directions, depending on the state of switches operated at times T0, for a first direction, and T5, for a reverse current direction. A voltmeter measures voltages across the coil, namely at least V1 at time T1, after T0, and V2 at time T2, after T5, with T1−T0=T2−T5=predetermined ΔT. A processor indicates V1−V2, the magnitude and sign of which indicate the strength and direction of the earth's magnetic field respectively.

    摘要: Fluxgate current transducer including a fluxgate device comprising a saturable soft magnetic core and an excitation coil, and a processing circuit comprising a control circuit and a voltage generator connected to the control circuit for generating an alternating current in the excitation coil, the voltage generator generating a voltage oscillating between a maximum positive voltage (+Umax) and a maximum negative voltage (−Umax) configured to alternatingly saturate the soft magnetic core. The control circuit is configured to generate a voltage having an absolute value of amplitude less than an absolute value of said maximum positive voltage (+Umax) and said maximum negative voltage (−Umax) voltage during a variable time window (Tn, Tn+1, Tn+2, Tn+3) after detection of the excitation coil current reaching a threshold current (S3) representative of saturation of the magnetic core during at least a subset of a plurality of alternating voltage periods (P).

    摘要: Various aspects of methods, systems, and use cases include a robotic system and control or use of the robotic system. A method for autonomous movement of the robotic system may include receiving a target location, identifying robotic components of the robotic system that are in contact with a surface, and determining a robotic component of the robotic components to activate to cause the robotic system to move closer to the target location. The method may include activating, based on the determination, a motor of the robotic component to push against the surface to cause the robotic system to move towards the target location.
