165 Security switch and method for installation thereof US280958 1999-03-29 US6121864A 2000-09-19 Ronald Edmund Tillmann
An electrical switch includes a magnetically actuated switch (16), such as a reed switch, and a permanent magnet (10). A path defining arrangement (14) is mechanically coupled (by track follower 210) to the permanent magnet, for allowing the magnet to move in a defined path. A particular part of the path lies adjacent to a portion of the reed switch. The particular part (218) of the path is close enough to the reed switch to actuate the switch. Consequently, or whereby, the magnet, at a particular position along the path will cause the reed switch to assume one of first (open) and second (closed) states. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the magnet, when at the particular position along the path, causes a normally-open switch to close. An energy storage arrangement is coupled to at least the magnet, for urging the magnet toward one end (220) of the path. In the particular embodiment, the energy storage arrangement is coupled to the magnet by way of a track follower (210). An elongated, nonelastic flexible actuator (24) is coupled to the magnet, for, in use, applying tension to the magnet in a direction (to the right in the illustrations) which urges the magnet toward the other end of the path. This flexible actuator may be a filament such as a fishing line. A removable holding arrangement (250, 510) is associated with the path defining arrangement, for holding the magnet in the particular part of the path. This is particularly advantageous during setup of the switch.

The float element is suspended by a cable in an upright condition when the liquid is below a known level such that the magnet is in the first position and the switch is in the first state. A weight is attached to the float element for causing the float element to tip in the liquid when the liquid is at or above the known level such that the magnet shifts from the first position to the second position and the switch switches to the second state.
168 Transmitter with magnetic zero/span actuator US629090 1990-12-17 US5278543A 1994-01-11 Kelly M. Orth; David W. Lee; Roger L. Frick
A transmitter for use in a process control system has externally accessible actuators for permitting external adjustment of the zero and span (or full scale) settings of the transmitter. The transmitter has an explosion-proof housing which includes an interior chamber in which transmitter circuitry is located. Each of the actuators includes a movable magnet which operates a magnetic reed switch located within the interior chamber of the housing through a wall of the housing. Each of the magnets is mounted on a movable actuator which extends into a blind hole in a wall of the housing. By moving the magnet within its hole, the corresponding reed switch can be changed from a non-actuated to an actuated state. When the zero reed switch is actuated, the transmitter circuitry adjusts its output so that the present value of the parameter represents a process zero. When the span (or full scale) reed switch is actuated, the transmitter circuitry adjusts its output so that the present value of the sensed parameter represents a process maximum.

173 Solenoid actuator having a magnetic flux sensor US486967 1990-03-01 US5032812A 1991-07-16 Gerard S. Banick; John J. Haller
A solenoid actuator comprising a coil or coils of electrical wire and a plugnut and movable core within the coil(s). A magnetic yoke surrounds the coil(s), the axis of the latter extending across the magnetic circuit defined by the yoke. Relatively large and small permanent magnets are associated with the yoke on opposite sides of the axis, the magnets producing flux in opposite directions. A flux sensor, closer to the small magnet, senses changes in direction of the flux. When the core and plugnut are separated, the large magnet flux predominates throughout the yoke. When the core engages the plugnut, the small magnet flux predominates in its portion of the yoke, this change in flux direction being detected by the sensor. Thus, the sensor can be used to indicate the position of the core with respect to the plugnut.
174 Master cylinder with fluid level and pressure failure detector US385502 1989-07-27 US5016442A 1991-05-21 Richard A. Zander; Robert F. Gaiser; Donald A. Crumb
A master cylinder having a housing with a first bore therein for retaining a pair of pistons which move in response to an input force and develop fluid pressure to effect a brake application. A second bore in the housing carries a differential area piston connected to the pressure chambers. A reed switch retained in the housing is aligned with a first magnet located on a float in a reservoir and a second magnet is attached to the differential area piston. A ferromagnetic shield located between the reed switch and second magnet has first and second openings located in a plane on either side of the reed switch. Should a failure occur in either pressure chamber, the differential area piston moves to allow magnetic field to pass through the openings in the shield and activate the reed switch to develop a warning signal and inform an operator of a failure mode condition in the master cylinder.
175 Apparatus and method for protecting the contacts of an electrical switch from current surges US153997 1988-02-09 US4847719A 1989-07-11 Max W. Cook; Wade E. Moose; David C. Steele
The contacts of an electrical switch, such as a magnetic contact reed switch or a magnetic contact reed relay used in a burglar alarm system, are protected from being fused together by transient current surges. This protection is accomplished by providing a normally nonconductive shunting path in parallel with the switch. The shunting path includes a voltage responsive device which is biased to conduction in response to a current surge to thereby complete the shunting path and allow the current surge to bypass the switch.

179 Anti-skid vehicle braking system US30921472 1972-11-24 US3804999A 1974-04-16 HUBBARD H
A non-skid brake control system for vehicles, particularly towed vehicles having electrically, pneumatically and/or hydraulically operated brakes controlled from the towing vehicle. A pair of braked wheels of the towed vehicle, one on each side of the vehicle, each have a speed sensing switch to sense the rate of rotation of the associated braked trailer wheel so as to provide anti-skid modulation to the associated brake when differential braking occurs between these braked wheels. The system automatically disables the anti-skid modulation when the vehicle speed is below an adjustable predetermined speed to thereby provide full braking effort under static, hill-holding or low speed conditions. Wheel speed sensing switch constructions are employed which utilize reed switches magnetically actuated by a permanent magnet carried on a centrifugally actuated flyweight mechanism. The anti-skid system may be further modulated by a vehicle speed sensing switch to prevent dual wheel lock-up above a given vehicle speed.
