DETECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240240929 titled 'DETECTION DEVICE

The abstract describes a detection device with a sensor and a control unit. The sensor has main and sub detection elements to detect changes in a physical quantity of a target, with a signal processing section to process the main detection element's signal. The control unit acquires signals from the sensor based on changes in the target's physical quantity, receiving a digital signal from the main detection element and an analog signal from the sub detection element.

• The detection device includes a sensor with main and sub detection elements.
• The sensor processes signals to detect changes in a physical quantity of a target.
• The control unit acquires signals from the sensor based on changes in the target's physical quantity.
• The sensor outputs a digital signal from the main detection element and an analog signal from the sub detection element to the control unit.
• This technology allows for more precise and comprehensive detection capabilities.
