Patent number: 7124977Abstract: The invention relates to winding wire around a magnetic core. The invention includes forming corners on the wire that align with inside corners of the magnetic core such that the wire is more tightly wound around the magnetic core. The invention also includes pinching a portion of wire that is positioned on the internal diameter of a magnetic core when the wire is wound around the core to provide more turns of the wire around the magnetic core. A magnetic inductor made in accordance with the present invention can have increased inductance, lower temperature rise, smaller size, and exhibit less EMI noise than the prior art.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2005Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Actown Electrocoil, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Sweeney, John E Medema, Michael G Roeber

Patent number: 5291099Abstract: A power supply circuit for a neon tube includes a step-up power transformer having a primary winding connectable to a power source, a secondary winding to which the neon tube is connected, and an auxiliary winding which is used to sense if the secondary winding is loaded or not and develops a control voltage proportional to current flowing through the neon tube, the control voltage maintaining a relay operated so that the primary winding of the transformer is connected to the power source in the absence of load fault conditions, a load fault condition causing the control voltage to decrease below the level required to maintain the relay operated, so that the primary winding of the transformer is disconnected from the power source, interrupting high voltage in the secondary winding of the transformer.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1992Date of Patent: March 1, 1994Assignee: Actown-Electrocoil, Inc.Inventors: John M. Gill, Robert H. Clausing
