Abstract: This invention relates to the fabrication of planar inductive components whereby the design in cross-section describes a conductor surrounded by magnetic material along the length of the conductor; an electrical insulator is placed between the conductor and the magnetic material. Cases also apply where more than one independent conductor is used. The planar form allows integration of inductive components with integrated circuits. These inductive components can be embedded in other materials. They can also be fabricated directly onto parts.

Abstract: The planarization of inductive components by reducing standard coiled designs to single turn, open ended designs from which the required parameters are obtained by scaling the length. Single turn designs having magnetic material encircling the conductors along their full length enable the thinnest form. The single turn, open ended form also enables the inductive component to be routed according to any shape in the plane or on any conformal surface. The single turn inductors do not need to coil hence there is no overlap necessary in the plane. The planar form allows integration of inductive components with integrated circuits. These inductive components can be embedded in other materials. They can also be fabricated directly onto parts.

Abstract: This invention describes a technique for measuring the peak amplitude and phase of an oscillating member without using any external precision references other than stable precision frequencies. The technique relies upon stable reference dimension of the oscillating member and stable dimensions of a stationary system which the member is oscillating with respect to. The technique uses a stable precision crystal clock oscillator to measure the time at which the oscillating member arrives at certain reference angles. The reference angles may be established on the member or by interferometry, with respect to sensors on a stationary member. Using inputs from the sensors, a precision clock, and counters the system determines the period of oscillation of the vibrating member and the phase of the maximum excursions of the vibrating member based on the time required for the oscillating member to move through the reference angles established on the reference member.

The differential current transformer by virtue of its fabrication next to a capacitive pick-off enables the preservation of the purity of the signal obtained by taking signal differences close to the transducer and minimizing pick-up from leads.

Abstract: An automatic gain calibration system for a phase modulator for forcing a predetermined phase shift amplitude includes a phase modulator responsive to an applied voltage for modulating the phase of a radiation beam. The frequency spectrum of the modulated radiation beam is converted to the electrical domain where a selected even harmonic of the spectrum is nulled. The scaling circuit then responds to the amplitude of voltage applied to the phase modulator that obtains the phase shift which produced the nulling of the selected even harmonic and scales that voltage to generate the predetermined phase shift amplitude which is desired.
