  • Patent number: 11295636
    Abstract: In one aspect, an article includes a first sleeve formed from a first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet, the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet having opposed first and second edges, wherein the first sleeve is formed with a first seam proximate the first edge. A portion of the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet extends between the first sleeve and the second edge. A tag is bonded to the portion of the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet proximate the second edge at a first overlap zone of the tag and the portion of the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet. In another aspect, an article includes a heat-shrinkable polymer sheet and a tag bonded to the sheet. The heat-shrinkable polymer sheet has a central area and a plurality of slits disposed through the sheet, at least one of the plurality of slits oriented to partially surround the central area.

  • Patent number: 11183320
    Abstract: A magnetic core includes a metal magnetic powder, which has a large size powder, an intermediate size powder, and a small size powder. A particle size of the large size powder is 10 ?m or more and 60 ?m or less. A particle size of the intermediate size powder is 2.0 ?m or more and less than 10 ?m. A particle size of the small size powder is 0.1 ?m or more and less than 2.0 ?m. The large size powder, the intermediate size powder, and the small size powder have an insulation coating. When A1 represents an average insulation coating thickness of the large size powder, A2 represents an average insulation coating thickness of the intermediate size powder, A3 represents an average insulation coating thickness of the small size powder, A3 is 30 nm or more and 100 nm or less, A3/A1?1.3, and A3/A2?1.0.

  • Patent number: 11075026
    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe techniques for a magnetic conductive device including a substrate, an under layer above the substrate, and a magnetic conductive layer including NiFe alloy formed on the under layer. A method for forming a magnetic conductive device includes forming a support stack including an under layer above a substrate, cleaning the support stack, and performing electrodeposition on the under layer by placing the support stack into a plating bath to form NiFe alloy on the under layer. The NiFe alloy includes Ni in a range of about 74% to about 84%, and Fe in a range of about 26% to about 16%. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
