    摘要: A dual detector includes a detection head having a platform and an inductive sensor that is mounted on the platform and includes a transmitter coil and a separate receiver coil. The transmitter coil and the receiver coil each form a loop, the loop of the transmitter coil at least partially overlapping the loop of the receiver coil so as to form a coupling region that is elongate in a first longitudinal direction defining a first axis, the arm extending on a plane that runs perpendicularly to the platform, and the first axis of the coupling region running transversely to the plane.

    摘要: Systems and methods for sensing and tracing proximity contacts use a magnetic field detection or coupling technology where the detection range between proximate devices may be accurately determined. The detection range may be accurately determined, for example, by generating and detecting a defined magnetic field range and/or by measurement of the received magnetic field strength and direction within an undefined magnetic field range. Proximity sensing devices perform a proximity magnetic field detection when located within a defined, generated magnetic field during a proximity contact interaction with another device that is generating a magnetic field. The magnetic fields generated and detected are generated to behave as quasistatic fields, in contrast to radios that generate and detect radiated, dynamic, electro-magnetic fields.

    摘要: A wall scanner that includes a housing, a plurality of sensors, a display, and a control section. The housing includes a handle portion and a body portion. The handle portion is adapted to receive a removable and rechargeable battery pack such as a high-voltage lithium-ion (“Li-Ion”) battery pack. The body portion of the housing encloses the plurality of sensing devices, such as capacitive plate sensors for sensing the presence of a stud behind a surface, a D-coil sensor for identifying the presence of metal behind the surface, and a non-contact voltage sensor. The display is configured to display the location of an object behind the surface in real-time, the depth of an object behind the surface, and whether an object behind the surface is ferrous or non-ferrous. The control section includes actuation devices for controlling the functions and operations of the wall scanner, such as the scanning mode.

    摘要: Disclosed is a detection sensor for detecting the presence of an item of user equipment through near-field communication for a motor vehicle, the sensor including an antenna, an impedance matcher, a driver module for driving the antenna and a microcontroller, which is configured to control the driver module, the impedance matcher being able to match the output impedance of the driver module to the impedance of the antenna while amplifying the power supplied by the driver module. The sensor includes a resistive module, mounted between the driver module and the impedance matcher, configured to stabilize the value of the input power of the impedance matcher.
