  • Patent number: 11177064
    Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus that includes a substrate and an inductor residing in the substrate are disclosed. In one embodiment, the inductor is formed as a conductive path that extends from a first terminal to a second terminal. The conductive path has a shape corresponding to a two-dimensional (2D) lobe laid over a three-dimensional (3D) volume. Since the shape of the conductive path corresponds to the 2D lobe laid over a 3D volume, the magnetic field generated by the inductor has magnetic field lines that are predominately destructive outside the inductor and magnetic field lines that are predominately constructive inside the inductor. In this manner, the inductor can maintain a high quality (Q) factor while being placed close to other components.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool that includes a tool holder, which has on its first end a tool holder recess that is adapted to the contours of a rotating spindle driver and a tool recess on a second end that lies opposite the first end. The tool holder also includes a tool head that can be inserted into the tool recess. For the optimal machining of a workpiece, attempts were previously made to provide an oscillating unit in the spindle of the machine, to initiate oscillations in the tool head. The disadvantage of said known constructions is that all available tools have to be synchronized with the oscillation unit. The invention overcomes said disadvantage by equipping the tool holder with an oscillating motor.

  • Patent number: 7936549
    Abstract: A state grasp device that needs no optical adjustment, and can be downsized. An exciting current waveform of an opening electromagnetic coil of an electromagnetic operating set functioning to drive a moving contact of a switching device includes an inflection point appearing subsequently to a maximum value, the inflection point taking place at the time of the contact being parted. Accordingly, a wear amount of contact from the change over time can be obtained. A position of the inflection point is obtained, for example, by focusing the rate of change in current; and a wear amount of a switching contact is obtained from the change over time of a time when the inflection point takes place. With the device, the use of a mechanical detection device, such as an optical detector, can be eliminated.

  • Patent number: 7812319
    Abstract: A beam guiding magnet includes a first and second coil system, which are designed such that the dipole moments of the first and second coil systems point in opposite directions. Since the dipole moments of the first and second coil systems point in opposite directions, the two dipole moments at least partially compensate for one another. The resultant dipole moment of the beam guiding magnet may be reduced. The beam guiding magnet may take into account that the remote field of a beam guiding magnet can be lowered by a reduction in the dipole moment of the beam guiding magnet. The dipole moment decreases with the cube of the distance from the beam guiding magnet. A quadruple moment, which on attenuation of the dipole moment represents the next strongest field component, decreases with the fifth power of that distance.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a windowframe magnet having an aligned array of paired bedstead coils in mirror symmetry can bend a high aspect ratio ribbon ion beam through angle of not less than about 45 degrees and not more than about 110 degrees, and can focus it through a resolving slot for mass analysis. The long transverse axis of the beam, which can exceed 50% of the bend radius, is aligned with the generated magnetic field. The array of paired bedstead coils provide tight control of the fringing fields, present intrinsically good field uniformity, and enable a manufacture of much lighter construction than other magnet styles conventionally in use in the ion implantation industry. Within the system of the present invention, the ribbon beam is refocused with low aberration to achieve high resolving power, which is of significant value in the ion implantation industry. System size is further reduced by using a small ion source and a quadrupole lens to collimate the beam after expansion and analysis.

  • Patent number: 6921042
    Abstract: Concentric tilted double-helix magnets, which embody a simplified design and construction method for production of magnets with very pure field content, are disclosed. The disclosed embodiment of the concentric tilted double-helix dipole magnet has the field quality required for use in accelerator beam steering applications, i.e., higher-order multipoles are reduced to a negligibly small level. Magnets with higher multipole fields can be obtained by using a simple modification of the coil winding procedure. The double-helix coil design is well-suited for winding with superconducting cable or cable-in-conduit conductors and thus is useful for applications that require fields in excess of 2 T. The coil configuration has significant advantages over conventional racetrack coils for accelerators, electrical machinery, and magneto-hydrodynamic thrusting devices.

  • Patent number: 6888325
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for correcting inner pin distortion generated in the CRT product and deflection yoke thereof. According to the disclosed method and deflection yoke thereof, the additional circuit for suppressing inner pin distortion phenomenon on the screen is not required as the related art, reduction in manufacturing costs is possibly achieved. Also, as the circuit for suppressing pincushion is not used, power dissipation could be reduced, and instability in dispersion and characteristics of a pin in the middle portion due to increase of dispersion generation by a wiring of a coil could be resolved.

  • Patent number: 6825602
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cathode ray tube including a deflection yoke which can remarkably decrease a leakage magnetic field. In the deflection yoke, a diameter of an end of a ferrite core to a screen side is 50% to 85% of a diameter of an end of a horizontal deflection coil to the screen side, and an interval between the end of the horizontal deflection coil to the screen side and the end of the ferrite core to the screen side is 27% to 50% of a length of the horizontal deflection coil in a tube axis direction. As a result, the cathode ray tube can overcome problems of general cancel coils, and reduce the leakage magnetic field even at a high deflection angle.
