This paper describes the development of a new generation of magnetic contact. The development of this new generation of the magnetic contact is a part of the research activity of the security engineering laboratory. The new generation of magnetic contact is based on the Hall-Effect Sensor and microcontroller unit. Older magnetic contacts use a simple reed relay with only two states – normally closed or normally opened. The combination of the Hall-Effect Sensor and microcontroller unit provides advanced possibilities such as a programmable level of magnetic field sensitivity, adding different communication modules, programmable inputs/outputs etc. The results of this paper explain proposal of the new generation of magnetic contact, which can be used not only as a part of intruder alarm systems but also as a part of smart homes and other autonomous systems. The content of the paper can be used for even deeper research and by security systems developers as well.

Planar Hall effect sensor has been explored using multi-layer cross-shaped and bridge geometry. We present planar Hall effect in a ring-shaped geometry experimentally that shows progress of sensor sensitivity as well as output signals. Sensitivity improves about 170 times compare to cross-shaped geometry and about 1.4 times to bridge geometry in conventional measurement system. These values become 2.5 times larger at 20o measurement system. The presented ring geometry may take great potential in Planar Hall effect sensor applications.

The main objective of this paper is to present a position control design to a DC-motor, where the set-point is externally supplied. The controller is conceived by using vibrational control theory and implemented by just processing the time derivative of a Hall-effect sensor signal. Vibrational control is robust against model uncertainties. Hence, for control design, a simple mathematical model of a DC-Motor is invoked. Then, this controller is realized by utilizing analog electronics via operational amplifiers. In the experimental set-up, one extreme of a flexible beam attached to the motor shaft, and with a permanent magnet fixed on the other end, is constructed. Therefore, the control action consists of externally manipulating the flexible beam rotational position by driving a moveable Hall-effect sensor that is located facing the magnet. The experimental platform results in a low-priced device and is useful for teaching control and electronic topics. Experimental results are evidenced to support the main paper contribution.

Recent additions of armor have made light tactical vehicle turrets heavy enough that mechanical assistance is required for them to rotate. The Army’s solution is the Battery Powered Motorized Traversing Unit (BPMTU) which uses a joystick to traverse the turret. Use of the joystick distracts the gunner and prevents the gunner from continuously engaging the target while rotating the turret. This paper presents a modification to the weapon mount that allows the turret to be controlled by the position of the weapon itself and emphasizes the design process used to develop the inovation. With this design, the gunner can now maintain contact with a target, while rotating the turret, without fiddling with the joystick. The Weapon Activated and Controlled Turret (WACT) consists of two primary components; the bottom component is stationary relative to the turret and contains a Hall effect sensor and the top component rotates with the weapon and holds a linear magnet. As the position of the sensor relative to the magnet changes, the corresponding strength of the magnetic field also varies. This change in magnetic force induces a similar response in the output voltage of the Hall effect sensor, effectively translating rotational motion into an electric signal able to control the turret motor.

This paper presents the simulation model of Dual Magnetodiode and Dual Schottky Magnetodiode using Sentaurus TCAD to simulate the virtual structure of magneto device and apply Hall Effect to measure magnetic field response of the device. Firstly, we use the program to simulate the magnetodiode with p-type semiconductor and aluminum anode and measure electrical properties and magnetic field sensitivity. Simulation results show that sensitivity of Dual Schottky magnetodiode is higher than that of Dual magnetodiode.
