Title: Michael C. Simmons: Inventor of a Movable-Contact Position Sensor.
Introduction
Michael C. Simmons is an inventor associated with Houston, Texas, and Sanmina Corporation. His patent work includes a position-sensing system designed to detect the location of a movable electrical contact.
Latest Patents
Simmons is credited with 1 patent: “System for Sensing the Position of a Movable Electrical Contact.” The invention describes a sensor assembly with two elongated electrical conductors arranged substantially in parallel and a conductive contact that moves along them, touching both conductors at different points. The conductors typically have a combined resistance of less than one ohm per meter, and the assembly can be used in a signal-reflection-based position-sensing system.
Career Highlights
Simmons’s documented patent contribution focuses on sensing the position of a movable electrical contact. The patent describes an approach that uses parallel conductors and a moving contact as part of a position-sensing assembly.
Collaborations
Simmons is associated with Sanmina Corporation. Abbas Arian is identified as a coworker.
Conclusion
Michael C. Simmons’s patent documents a position-sensing system that uses a movable conductive contact and parallel electrical conductors to determine position.
