An input device comprising a processor(s), an input element, an electropermanent magnet (EPM) assembly including: a permanent magnet operable to generate a magnetic field; and a magnetizing assembly configured to set a magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet, a first ferromagnetic element, and a second ferromagnetic element. The first ferromagnetic element is configured to part and move away from the second ferromagnetic element as the input element is depressed. When the EPM assembly magnetizes the permanent magnet to a first polarity, the first and second ferromagnetic elements are magnetically attracted to each other and provide an attracting that magnetically opposes the first and second ferromagnetic elements from parting, and when the EPM assembly magnetizes the permanent magnet to a second polarity, the first and second ferromagnetic elements are not magnetically attracted to each other and do not magnetically oppose the first and second ferromagnetic elements from parting.

A face of the plurality of faces may include a second opening to expose at least a portion of the interior surface through the second opening. The second opening may be larger than the first opening.

The present invention refers to a device with diametral magnetic arrays for installations in magnetic SUBs, aiming the remediation and mitigation of inorganic and organic scales in production columns. The proposed magnetic device meets several specific criteria based on the magnetohydrodynamic model (MHD). After applying the said device with the proposed magnetic field, an efficiency of the scale inhibition was experimentally observed through laboratory tests, obtained from the values of the masses encrusted in the walls of the experimental bench system in the laboratory, with respect to the application without magnetic field. The device described herein can be installed in any pipeline used to transport fluids, including underwater pipelines for oil wells. These fluids can be oils, lubricants, gases, steams, water, petroleum or liquids in general.

A magnet assembly for orientation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a metal plate, a lower layer attached to the metal plate and including a plurality of permanent magnets that form a matrix, and an upper layer on the lower layer and including a plurality of permanent magnets that form a same matrix as the matrix, wherein a ratio of a length of one of the plurality of permanent magnets with respect to a sum of thicknesses of the lower layer and the upper layer is 3:1 to 1:2.

Magnet arrangements, sensor devices and corresponding methods are provided comprising a first magnet portion and a second magnet portion. The first magnet portion is spaced apart from the second magnet portion, and the second magnet portion comprises a bore. In a corresponding sensor device, a sensor element may be provided at a position between the first and second magnet portions.

Magnetic sensors, sensor modules, and methods thereof are provided. A magnetic sensor includes a sensor arrangement including a plurality of magnetic field sensor elements electrically arranged in an asymmetrical bridge circuit, where a first total resistance of a first pair of sensor elements provided on a first side of the asymmetrical bridge circuit is different from a second total resistance of a second pair of sensor elements provided on a second side of the asymmetrical bridge circuit, and the asymmetrical bridge circuit is configured to generate a differential signal based on sensor signals generated by the plurality of magnetic field sensor elements in response to a magnetic field impinging thereon.

An electronic-sensing & magnetic-modulation (ESMM) biosensor device and methods of using the same, where the device incorporates electrical, microfluidic, and magnetic subsystems. The device and methods of using such a device can be applied to high throughput point-of-care screening for the quantification and evaluation of a subject's immune response to pathogenic infections, which can be useful for: early diagnosis, stratifying high-risk subjects infected with a pathogen; and determining the status or effectiveness of a therapeutic response.

A stud-finding mechanism which is combinable or separately operable from a laser-level mechanism is disclosed. The two mechanisms can work separately or be combined into a single unit. The stud funding portion achieves its effects by focusing more on the metal in the stud than its wood content. Meanwhile, the level-indications are achieved by fluid containers with bubbles, but can also be projected onto a construction surface or decorative surface, thereby providing a convenient visual indicator of level-ness.
