Magnetic Non-Contacting Rotary Transducer

View page
US Patent:
6498480, Dec 24, 2002
Filed:
Nov 22, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/721228
Inventors:
Alan H. Manara - Alta Loma CA
Assignee:
Wabash Technologies, Inc. - Huntington IN
International Classification:
G01B 730
US Classification:
3242072, 32420722, 123617
Abstract:
A magnetic rotary transducer for providing a signal indicative of a rotational position of a control shaft about a rotational axis over a defined range of rotation is disclosed. The magnetic rotary transducer comprises a pair of magnets and a rotor including a pair of loop pole pieces, and an elongated pole piece having a first end adjoined to one of the loop pole pieces and a second end adjoined to the other loop pole piece. Each loop pole piece includes an inner surface defining an air gap area. The control shaft is positioned within the air gap area of one of the loop pole pieces and adjoined thereto whereby the rotor synchronously rotates with the control shaft about the axis over the defined range of rotation. The pair of magnets are adjoined to the other loop pole piece whereby two separate and distinct magnetic fields are generated within the air gap are of the loop pole piece. The magnetic rotary transducer further comprises a magnetic flux sensitive transducer positioned within the air gap area.

Engine Endless Drive Belt Tensioner And Tensioner Position Indicator

View page
US Patent:
6849011, Feb 1, 2005
Filed:
Nov 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/303239
Inventors:
Jeffrey P. Calfa - Naperville IL, US
Alan H. Manara - Redondo Beach CA, US
Assignee:
International Truck Intellectual Property Company, LLC - Warrenville IL
International Classification:
F16H 722
F16H 712
US Classification:
474102, 474101, 474135
Abstract:
Engine accessory drive belt tension is maintained by a spring loaded roller positioned to impinge against the belt. Belt deflection is reflected by changes in position of the roller, and measured by a deflection sensor. Changes in deflection may indicate changes in belt elasticity, indicating the possible need to change the belt.

Sensor And Circuit Architecture For Three Axis Strain Gauge Pointing Device And Force Transducer

View page
US Patent:
62430777, Jun 5, 2001
Filed:
Nov 18, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/195345
Inventors:
Alan Manara - Ogden UT
Michael C. Scofield - North Ogden UT
Blake Cheal - Perry UT
Assignee:
Boourns, Inc. - Riverside CA
International Classification:
G09G 508
G01L 122
US Classification:
345157
Abstract:
A pointing device for use with computers and other electronic systems incorporates an array of resistive strain gauges on the surface of a substrate. The strain gauges exhibit resistance changes in response to stress or strain applied to the substrate by the movement of a joystick attached to the substrate, the resistance changes being proportional to the extent of movement of the joystick The strain gauges are electrically connected to control circuitry that successively establishes a series of voltage dividers across different ones of the strain gauges to measure the resistance of each of the strain gauges. From those measurements the position of the pointing device may be determined by comparing the measured resistances with known resistance values that correspond to a neutral stick position. The control circuitry establishes the voltage dividers by applying a known voltage across successive pairs of the strain gauges, and then detecting the voltage at the midpoint between the strain gauges that form each strain gauge pair to which the voltage is applied.

Shock Absorber Configured With A Deformable Energy Absorbing Member

View page
US Patent:
20220341236, Oct 27, 2022
Filed:
Jul 11, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/862106
Inventors:
- Fullerton CA, US
Alan Manara - Fullerton CA, US
International Classification:
E05F 5/06
B64C 1/14
F16F 7/12
F16F 9/19
F16F 9/48
E05B 81/56
E05B 77/54
E05F 3/04
E05F 5/10
F16F 9/00
Abstract:
A shock absorber includes a first end configured to be mechanically fastened to a first component, a second end configured to be mechanically fastened to a second component, a main body, a main shaft, and a primary piston. The primary piston configured to move within the main body and further configured to provide a first damping force by movement of a fluid through the primary piston while the main shaft moves a first distance. The shock absorber also includes a deformable solid material arranged in the main body. The primary piston configured to further move within the main body and further configured to provide a second damping force by deforming the deformable solid material after the main shaft moves the first distance.

US Patent:
20190312380, Oct 10, 2019
Filed:
Dec 4, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/209805
Inventors:
- Wilmington, DE
Mario Cesar Gonzalez - Murrieta CA, US
Alan Manara - Fullerton CA, US
International Classification:
H01R 13/62
H01R 13/631
H01R 13/52
H01R 11/30
H01R 13/11
H01R 13/05
Abstract:
Various connection interfaces are disclosed. In some embodiments, the connection interface includes a receptacle and a connector. The receptacle can be configured to be positioned in the wall of an electrical device. The receptacle can comprise a first set of electrical contacts and a channel. The connector can be configured to be matingly engaged with the receptacle in an engaged state and to be separated from the receptacle in a disengaged state. The connector can comprise a second set of electrical contacts. Some embodiments are configured such that angled surfaces of the channel and boss interact as the connector is moved into engagement with the receptacle. This can guide the connector into the receptacle such that the first and second sets of electrical contacts are in electrical communication with each other.
