20120306484 | MAGNETIC DETECTION APPARATUS - A magnetic detection apparatus includes an IC device, a casing defining a housing space of the IC device, and a resin mold portion arranged on a first part of an outside surface of the casing. The IC device includes an IC package having a built-in magnetoelectric transducer, and lead wires. The housing space is defined by a second part of an inner wall of the casing. A predetermined portion of the second part of the inner wall is defined as a contact region, with which the IC device contacts. The resin mold portion is arranged other than a predetermined portion of a second part of the outside surface corresponding to the contact region. A position of the magnetoelectric transducer is determined by positions of the contact region and the resin mold portion. | 12-06-2012 |

20140184201 | POSITION DETECTOR - A position detector provides a wide dynamic range for detecting a magnetic flux density. The position detector has a magnetic flux detector with a Hall IC disposed within a gap between first and second magnetic flux transmission parts that allow rotation of the Hall IC relative to a rotating body for outputting a signal reflecting a passing magnetic flux density. First and second magnetic flux collectors sandwich the Hall IC in a facing direction that matches a facing direction of the first and second magnetic flux transmission parts. The first and second magnetic flux collectors have an area size relationship such that spill magnetic flux flows to the Hall IC in a concentrated manner. Thus, the dynamic range detected by the magnetic flux density detector is widened and a position detection accuracy of the position detector is improved. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184203 | POSITION DETECTOR - A position detector includes a magnet disposed between first ends of first and second magnetic flux transmission parts and a magnet disposed between second ends of the first and second magnetic flux transmission parts. The position detector also includes a Hall IC that moves within a gap and relative to a rotating body. The Hall IC detects a density of the magnetic flux from the first and second magnetic flux transmission parts and outputs a signal according to the density of the magnetic flux passing therethrough in order to detect a position of a detection object. The position detector has third and fourth magnetic flux transmission parts disposed at ends of the first and second magnetic flux transmission parts in a non-contacting manner. As a result, the position detection accuracy of the position detector is improved. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184204 | POSITION DETECTOR - A position detector has a gap for providing a detection range. The gap has a gap width that is greater at the ends of the gap than at a center. Therefore, an amount of a spill magnetic flux and an amount of a direct magnetic flux respectively flowing through a position at and around an end portion of the gap are reduced when compared to a gap having a constant gap width along the direction of relative movement. Namely, the density of magnetic flux which passes through a Hall element that is positioned at each longitudinal end of the gap decreases. Therefore, at or around the ends of the gap, a rate of change of the magnetic flux density detected by the Hall element decreases and the linearity of an output signal from the Hall element is improved. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184205 | POSITION DETECTOR - A position detector has first and second magnets with a magnet width that is different from a gap width of a gap. As a result, the gap width and the magnet width are independent of each other. The gap width is minimized relative to a molding member that molds a Hall element. The first and second magnets have a specific magnet width that generates a required magnetic flux density without increasing the magnet width, which enables a volume reduction of the position detector. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184208 | POSITION DETECTOR - A position detector has a Hall IC movably disposed on a mold within a gap between a first magnetic flux transmission part and a second magnetic flux transmission part for outputting a signal according to a density of a magnetic flux passing therethrough. Movement of the Hall IC relative to a rotating body is detected by the Hall IC. The Hall IC has a first flux collector and a second flux collector. A magnetic resistance of a first magnetic path between the first flux collector and a first flux transmission part and a magnetic resistance of a second magnetic path between the second flux collector and a second flux transmission part are configured so that the Hall IC is movable relative to the rotating body at a predetermined radial distance where the magnetic flux density decreases to a minimum. | 07-03-2014 |
20140184209 | POSITION DETECTOR - A position detector includes a magnet disposed between first ends of first and second magnetic flux transmission parts and a magnet disposed between second ends of the first and second magnetic flux transmission parts. The position detector also includes a Hall IC that is positioned within a gap and moves relative to a rotating body. The Hall IC detects a density of the magnetic flux from the first and second magnetic flux transmission parts and outputs a signal according to the density of the magnetic flux passing therethrough in order to detect a position of a detection object. A minimum magnetic flux density position within the gap may be shifted to a position having the highest detection accuracy such that the position detection accuracy of the detection object is improved. | 07-03-2014 |
20140187373 | ROTATION DRIVING DEVICE - A rotation driving device includes a motor provided in a housing, a planetary gear reducer connected to the motor coaxially with the motor, an output shaft connected to an end reduction member of the planetary gear reducer coaxially with the end reduction member, and a rotation detector located at the same position as the end reduction member in an axial direction of the planetary gear reducer and located at a different position from a center axis of the end reduction member in a radial direction of the planetary gear reducer, the rotation detector being capable of detecting a degree of rotation of the end reduction member. Accordingly, the rotation driving device can be made to be smaller and compact in the axial direction. | 07-03-2014 |
20140354268 | POSITION SENSING DEVICE - A position sensing device has a first magnetic flux transmission unit that includes first thin boards made of long shape magnetic material stacked along a board thickness direction and a second magnetic flux transmission unit that includes second thin boards made of long shape magnetic material stacked along the board thickness direction, for defining a gap space between the first and second magnetic flux transmission units when disposing the first and second magnetic flux transmission units on a rotating body. Further, the position sensing device includes first and second magnets disposed between both ends of the first and second magnetic flux transmission units. A Hall IC disposed on a mold part moves within the gap space along a gap space longitudinal direction relative to the rotating body for outputting a signal according to a density of a magnetic flux passing therethrough. | 12-04-2014 |
