Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A sensor arrangement is operative to sense a relative kinematic state of a magnet ( 110 ) and a Hall-effect sensor ( 202 ) with respect to each other. The Hall-effect sensor has a Hall plate ( 204 ) and is accommodated in a surface-mount device. The magnet is configured for generating a magnetic field having an orientation primarily parallel to the Hall plate. The sensor arrangement comprises magnetic-field collecting means ( 206 ) for changing the orientation of the magnetic field to be primarily perpendicular to the Hall plate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising a first physical component, a second physical component and a sensor arrangement for sensing a relative kinematic state of the first and second components with respect to each other, wherein the sensor arrangement comprises a magnet that is stationary with respect to the first physical component, and at least one Hall-effect sensor that are stationary with respect to the second physical component; each of the at least one Hall…
