Title: Shun Kato and His Actuator Device Patent.
Introduction
Shun Kato is an inventor associated with Zama, Japan, and Nidec Powertrain Systems Corporation. His patent work includes an actuator device designed to detect the position or movement of a drive assembly using a sensor magnet and magnetic sensor.
Latest Patents
Kato is credited with 1 patent. His patent, “Actuator Device,” describes a drive assembly movable in a first direction and a sensor magnet fixed to that assembly. A magnetic sensor faces the magnet in a second, intersecting direction and detects its magnetic flux. The magnet is shaped so that its width near its barycenter is greater than its width at either end along the first direction.
Career Highlights
Kato’s listed invention focuses on the arrangement and shape of magnetic sensing components in an actuator. The design specifies how the sensor magnet and magnetic sensor are positioned relative to the moving drive assembly.
Collaborations
Kato is associated with Nidec Powertrain Systems Corporation, the company identified in connection with his work.
Conclusion
Shun Kato’s patent documents an actuator design that uses a specially shaped sensor magnet and a magnetic sensor to detect magnetic flux as the drive assembly moves.
