INTEGRATED POSITION SENSOR WITH DUAL SYNCHRONIZED OUTPUTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240262492 titled 'INTEGRATED POSITION SENSOR WITH DUAL SYNCHRONIZED OUTPUTS
The system configuration described in the patent significantly reduces the number of interconnections required between an electromechanical actuator (EMA) and an EMA controller (EMAC) while maintaining redundancy and safety aspects necessary for the target application. This results in simplified communication interfaces between multiple sensors in the EMA and EMAC, leading to cost and weight reduction, particularly beneficial for aerospace products like unmanned vehicles.

Original Abstract Submitted
a system configuration significantly reduces the number of interconnections needed between an electromechanical actuator (ema) and an ema controller (emac) while maintaining redundancy and other safety aspects needed by the target application. this allows simplification of communication interfaces between multiple sensors in the ema and emac and unification of the interface to multiple sensors inside the emac, leading to cost and weight reduction that can be significant for many aerospace products and applications, including unmanned vehicle (e.g., uam/uav) applications.
