Abstract: An apparatus for winding coils onto a spherical body includes a frame, a feeder spool, a first hemispherical bobbin, a second hemispherical bobbin, a first spring-loaded pin, a second spring-loaded pin, and a motor arrangement. The feeder spool is rotationally mounted on the frame, has first and second wires wound thereon, and is configured to rotate about a first rotational axis. The first and second hemispherical bobbins are rotationally mounted on the frame and configured to rotate about a second rotational axis that is parallel to the first rotational axis. The bobbins are spaced apart from each other to define a wire-feeder gap through which the first and second wires may be fed. The motor arrangement is coupled to the first and second hemispherical bobbins and is configured to cause the first and second hemispherical bobbins to rotate in opposite directions about the second rotational axis.

Abstract: A complex coil and a fixture for forming same configured such that loops are formed having various configurations relative to each other. The configurations provide improved thrombus formation and reduced rotation or tumbling once implanted. The complex coil is formed of a material that may deformed for purposes of placing the complex coil into a catheter and returns to a complex shape that includes said loops once deployed.

Abstract: A multilayered electronic component that is easy to manufacture and that has excellent electrical characteristics includes end portions of coil wiring patterns that oppose a coil connection electrode that is displaced on the surface of a second ceramic layer due to an increase or decrease in the number of first ceramic layers. A coil connection electrode has a shape in which surface portions of second ceramic layers or opposed second ceramic layers having the first ceramic layers disposed in between are connected to the end portions of the coil wiring patterns that oppose the respective coil connection electrode, which are displaced due to the increase or decrease in the number of the first ceramic layers. A connection wiring pattern has a shape in which one portion of a coil connection electrode is connected to one portion of an external extension electrode connection pattern.

Abstract: A traverse shaft section 609 shifts in response to the rotation of a bobbin rotating section 604 with a predetermined winding pitch P1 equivalent to two to 10 times the diameter of a wire rod 520. With this shift movement of traverse shift section 609, wire rod 520 extracted from a winding nozzle section 610 shifting together with traverse shaft section 609 is wound spirally along a slant surface 530 formed by a first winding section 541 at the winding pitch P1 equivalent to two to 10 times the diameter of a wire rod 520. As a result, an advancing-side wire rod 520a and a reversing-side wire rod 520b cross over each other at opposing inclinations. Hence, it becomes possible to prevent the reversing-side wire rod 520b, when wound on the advancing-side wire rod 520a, from pulling and dislocating the advancing-side wire rod 520a from its regular winding position, thereby eliminating undesirable winding collapse.
