Ultrasonic Sensor Arrangement - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011946 titled 'Ultrasonic Sensor Arrangement
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a bearing that includes an inner race and an outer race with rolling elements between them. The bearing can rotate around an axis of rotation. Additionally, the bearing includes an ultrasonic transducer mounted to either the inner race or the outer race, and a transducer transceiver that is electrically connected to the transducer. The transceiver is configured to wirelessly transmit electrical signals for the transducer.
