  • DATA MODELS FOR DESCRIBING AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20070283309
    Abstract: A method and product are described for creating a model of a physical layout and/or a circuit layout of an electrical device. The layouts are defined in a user interface. A text file having metadata elements in a hierarchical format is produced that can be used by other programs.
    Type: Application

  • Method and apparatus for describing and managing properties of a transformer coil
    Publication number: 20070234263
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for describing and managing properties of a transformer coil. A metadata text file is generated which contains metadata describing objects of the transformer coil. The objects are arranged hierarchically and have one or more related properties attached therewith. One or more properties of one object refer to one or more other properties of the same object or of other objects by means of paths defined in the metadata text file. The generated metadata text file is then stored.

  • Automated method and tool for documenting a transformer design
    Publication number: 20070027883
    Abstract: A method and tool for creating documentation for a transformer design uses design files created during the transformer design process to generate drawings and other information necessary to populate documentation. The design files contain information relating to the physical layout of all of the components of the coil as well as the electrical connectivity of the windings. The method and tool retrieve the design information, construct the associated drawings, format the drawings to the appropriate sizes, and display any associated text.

  • Methods, systems, and data models for describing an electrical device
    Publication number: 20060053398
    Abstract: A method and system are described for creating a metadata text file corresponding to a geometry of a physical layout and/or a circuit layout of an electrical device. The layouts are defined in a user interface. A text file having metadata elements in a hierarchical format is produced that can be used by other programs.
