Latest Patents

Satoh’s listed patents include two designs focused on acceleration sensors.

The first describes a sensor with a cylinder containing a longitudinally movable inertial member. A conductive member on the inertial member can bridge a pair of electrodes when contact occurs, while a magnetic attracting member helps draw the inertial member toward the opposite end of the cylinder. The electrode design uses sheet metal held at its base, with its front ends extending into the inertial member’s travel area. The sheet edges are bent away from the inertial member.

The second patent describes an acceleration sensor with a conductive cylinder and a magnetized inertial member that moves longitudinally. Its electrodes include slits extending from their terminal ends toward their contact ends. A resistor connects portions of the electrodes divided by the slits, supporting detection of a broken connection.
