Abstract: A non-contact position sensor including a plurality of sensor elements configured in an array. Each of the sensor elements is configured to provide an output associated with each of a plurality of positions of a sensor control element relative to the position sensor, whereby a separate combination of the outputs is provided for each of the positions. In one embodiment, the sensor elements may be Hall effect sensors, and the sensor control element may be a magnet. In another embodiment, the sensor elements may be Hall effect sensors and the sensor control element may be a shunt for blocking a magnetic field the Hall effect sensors. A vehicle seat position sensor system and a method of sensing vehicle seat position are also provided.
Abstract translation: 一种非接触位置传感器,其包括以阵列形式配置的多个传感器元件。 每个传感器元件被配置为提供与传感器控制元件相对于位置传感器的多个位置中的每一个相关联的输出,从而为每个位置提供输出的单独组合。 在一个实施例中,传感器元件可以是霍尔效应传感器,并且传感器控制元件可以是磁体。 在另一个实施例中,传感器元件可以是霍尔效应传感器,并且传感器控制元件可以是用于阻挡霍尔效应传感器的磁场的分流器。 还提供了车辆座椅位置传感器系统和感测车辆座椅位置的方法。

Abstract: A non-contact position sensor including a plurality of sensor elements (112-120) configured in an array. Each of the sensor elements is configured to provide an output associated with each of a plurality of positions of a sensor control element ((102) relative to the position sensor (112-120), whereby a separate combination of the outputs is provided for each of the positions. In one embodiment, the sensor elements may be Hall effect sensors (112-120), and the sensor control element may be a magnet (102). In another embodiment, the sensor elements may be Hall effect sensors and the sensor control element may be a shunt (1502) for blocking a magnetic field to the Hall effect sensors (1516-1520). A vehicle seat position sensor system and a method of sensing vehicle seat position are also provided.
