Abstract:
A system includes a magnetostrictive sensor. The magnetostrictive sensor includes a driving coil configured to receive a first driving current and to emit a first magnetic flux portion through a target and a second magnetic flux portion. The magnetostrictive sensor also includes a first sensing coil configured to receive the first magnetic flux portion and to transmit a signal based at least in part on the received first magnetic flux portion. The received first magnetic flux portion is based at least in part on a force on the target. The magnetostrictive sensor includes a magnetic shield disposed between the driving coil and the first sensing coil. The magnetic shield is configured to reduce the second magnetic flux portion received by the first sensing coil. The magnetic shield includes a composite with a conductive material and an insulating material, a metamaterial, or a mesh structure, or any combination thereof.

Claim (Index 14):
A method, comprising:\n supplying a first current to a driving coil of a magnetostrictive sensor; emitting a first magnetic flux portion from the driving coil through a target; emitting a second magnetic flux portion from the driving coil; sensing the first magnetic flux portion with a sensing coil of the magnetostrictive sensor; reducing the second magnetic flux portion received by the sensing coil based at least in part on a magnetic shield of the magnetostrictive sensor disposed between the driving coil and the sensing coil; supplying a second current to a compensation coil of the magnetic shield; generating a signal based at least in part on the first magnetic flux portion sensed with the sensing coil; and determining a force on the target based at least in part on the signal.
