  • Patent number: 9012788
    Abstract: An optronic porthole comprises a substrate with two faces. It comprises on one of the faces of the substrate or on both faces, a stack of several hetero-structures, each hetero-structure being composed of at least two semi-conducting layers SC1, SC2, the layer SC1 being doped, the layer SC2 itself comprising a two-dimensional electron gas layer formed at the interface with the layer SC1. It furthermore comprises an electrode in contact with all the electron gas layers, a bi-periodic metallic grid buried in the stack, in contact with the electrode. The substrate and the layers are transparent in the 0.4 ?m-5 ?m band.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6120916
    Abstract: A composite magnetic material showing reduced losses and reduced permeability when it is subjected to a magnetic field at frequencies below approximately 100 MHz. It comprises magnetic particles in the form of wafers dispersed in a dielectric binder. The polycrystalline magnetic ceramic wafers are oriented so that their main faces are substantially parallel to the magnetic field.Application especially to cores of inductors or transformers.

  • Patent number: 5748013
    Abstract: A magnetic core includes a body made of polycrystalline ceramic and at least one localized gap made of a composite magnetic material. The gap may be preferably fixedly joined to the body by bonding or molding. The magnetic core has applications in inductors or transformers. The inductor preferably has a coil located on the body, which coil is preferably made of multistranded enameled wires.
