Abstract: An electronic window (20) employs a rear projection screen, a rear projection engine (21), and a solar simulator (22). Rear projection engine (21) is positioned at a first location relative to the rear projection screen wherein rear projection engine (21) is operated to project an image onto the rear projection screen. Solar simulator (22) is positioned at a second location relative to the rear projection screen wherein solar simulator (22) is operated to simulate a sunbeam shining through the rear projection screen.

Abstract: A description is given of a method of manufacturing an inductive element for SMD applications. This method comprises the following steps: a) providing a number of predominantly parallel electroconductive wires in the mould of an injection-molding device, b) circumferentially providing a part of the wires with a synthetic resin by injection molding, in such a manner that the ends of the wires remain free, c) providing an envelope of a soft-magnetic material around the circumferentially injection molded part of the wires, and d) reshaping the ends of the wires. In accordance with the invention, the method is characterized in that the parts of the wires to be circumferentially injection molded are fixed inside the mold during the injection molding process. It has been found that inductive elements of the type manufactured in accordance with the inventive method generate, in operation, optimally homogeneous magnetic fields. Also the risk of electric short-circuits proves to be small.

Abstract: An inductive device comprises a soft magnetic core which consists of two E-shaped core halves (1), each of which comprises three parallel limbs (5, 7) which are interconnected by a yoke (9). The core halves (1) are arranged against one another by way of the free ends of the limbs (5, 7), a coil former (3) being provided around the central limbs (7). The outer limbs (5) extend between an upper boundary plane (25) and lower boundary plane (27), which planes extend parallel to the longitudinal directions of the limbs (5, 7) and the yokes (9), the distance between said planes being determined by the height (x) of the outer limbs (5) which is greater than the height (y) of the central limbs (7).

Abstract: The invention relates to a sintered transformer core of MnZn-ferrite material, the initial permeability of which ranges between 10 and 1000. Said transformer cores preferably have an average particle size which ranges between 0.05 and 2.0 .mu.m. The transformer cores according to the invention exhibit surprisingly low overall losses when operating in the frequency range of 2 MHz and higher. Such transformer cores can be very advantageously used in transformers operated in said frequency range, such as SMPS transformers.

Abstract: A magnetic head (1) having a (monocrystalline) core (2) of a magnetizable material which provides a substantially closed path for magnetic flux (B) in write/read operations of the magnetic head (1). In order to provide a magnetic head which has an improved signal-to-noise ratio in particular in the frequency range from 0.5-10 MHz, the magnetizable material of the core (2) shows essentially a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy having an easy axis of magnetization which is transverse to the plane of the path for the magnetic flux. Said orientation of the easy axis of magnetization is produced in one embodiment by coating the faces of the core which are parallel to the path for the magnetic flux with layers of non-magnetizable material which exert a (tensile or compressive) stress in said planes.

Abstract: Magnetic head for a magnetic recording and playback apparatus includes a core of a Mn--Zn-ferrous ferrite having a very high saturation magnetization. The Mn--Zn-ferrous ferrite has a composition (not counting optional substitutions) according to the formulaMn.sub.a Zn.sub.b Fe.sub.c.sup.II Fe.sub.e.sup.III O.sub.4with0<a.ltoreq.0.550.06.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.0.40.25.ltoreq.c.ltoreq.0.9(a+b+c=1).The result is that the magnetic head may be used in combination with magnetic tapes having a very high coercive force (up to 104 kA/m (1300 Oersted) and may be used for transducing signals having a frequency of a few MHz.
