Abstract: A toroidal inductive device has an electrical winding component (11) of generally toroidal shape and discrete magnetic components (12) shaped as toric sections. The discrete magnetic components (12) are arranged on the electrical winding component such that the discrete magnetic components (12) are offset circumferentially from each other and at least partially embrace the electrical winding component (11). The magnetic components (12) define magnetic flux gaps in meridional planes. A method for forming a magnetic component is also provided wherein magnetic wire is wound onto a toroidal electrical winding component without the need for passing a spool through a central opening of the tumid.

Abstract: The magnetic core of an inductive device is formed of a plurality of wires that extend through the inductive device, and beyond the electric winding. The ends of the wires are formed around the electric winding, meet, and are connected together enveloping the magnetic core and windings forming a complete magnetic circuit.

Abstract: This invention relates to refrigeration means suitable for use in domestic refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers and small to medium air conditioners. It is also suitable for a variety of smaller size mechanical (vapor-compression) refrigeration functions found throughout industry. The invention includes use of a continuous length of tubing throughout the entire passage of refrigerant from the exhaust part of the compressor back to the intake part. The contiguous functions of condensation, accumulation, drier/filter, capillary action evaporation and heat exchange are all served by a one piece continuous length tubing formed, rolled and handled in necessary manner.
