Abstract: The invention relates to the production of a magnetic core having air gaps. For this purpose, according to the invention, a main body having a portion made of magnetic ferrite and a portion made of non-magnetic material is formed. Subsequently, gaps are introduced into the portion having the magnetic ferrite, while the portion having the non-magnetic material remains largely unchanged. In this way, the segments having the ferrite, which are formed by the introduction of the gaps, can be fixed relative to each other by the non-magnetic region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a slotted magnetic core having multiple gaps, as well as a production method for a magnetic core of this type. In a main body made as of a magnetic ferrite, multiple gaps are introduced into the main body, which, however, only partially penetrate the main body. The main body with the gaps is subsequently secured by a casing and then a section of the main body is removed, such that the magnetic ferrite breaks apart into multiple individual segments, which are only held together by the casing.

Abstract: The invention relates to inductive energy transmission from a primary coil (12) to a secondary coil (22) having an additional operating state. By means of this two-sided regulation, a primary-side and secondary-side control of the power electronics is performed in accordance with a predetermined operational strategy. Thus, even in the case of unfavorable coupling factors, for example, the efficiency of the inductive energy transmission can be increased, the magnetic field in the air gap between the primary coil (12) and the secondary coil (22) can be minimized, and the inductive energy transmission can be optimized. This optimized operational strategy is enabled by means of a newly introduced idle state, which permits periodic short-circuiting of the secondary side by means of switches on the secondary side (S5, S6) of the inductive energy transmission system. The invention is preferably used in the charging of the battery of an electric vehicle (4), but other applications are also possible.

Abstract: This invention is the automatic data collection of the airside velocity measurement and the sensor location measurement as recorded during the airside volume measurement or air balance process. The data is automatically output to a computing or data-logging device for immediate or later analysis, eliminating the human error associated with measurement and data recording.

Abstract: A method and apparatus provide a level of authentication or a computer software program sign-on that is intermediate trust-based licensing and hardware based protection. Entry of a registration name is required at the time of initial use of the program, and at each invocation of the program the computer determines if the invocation is within the freshness interval (based upon the number of sign-ons, e.g. 30, or the passage of time, e.g. 30 days). If the sign-on is not within the freshness level, the computer and display screen provide a re-authentication inquiry, which may require a response before a standard sign on is allowed. If the re-authentication response is at odds with the initial registration name, standard sign-on may be precluded, and the screen displays a phone/fax number or electronic address to contact for appropriate registration information.
