  • Patent number: 8576037
    Abstract: A dual output autotransformer is realized by employing a novel topology in which three transformers are wound on a single, high permeability, ferrite, binocular core. The three transformers are (1) an autotransformer; (2) a coupled winding to the autotransformer; and, (3) a transmission line transformer. Within the topology employed, the outputs of the coupled line transformer and the transmission line transformer provide the balanced output (secondary) and the input to the autotransformer forms the unbalanced primary. Such an approach results in a wideband response of from 30 MHz to 3000 MHz or greater with the requisite amplitude and phase balance.

  • Patent number: 8106738
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a ballast for multiple lamps and a method of manufacturing the ballast. A first coil is wound around a bobbin which has a partition formed in the center portion of an inner space thereof. An insulating sheet is stacked on the first coil, and a second coil is wound around the insulating sheet. Two paired core elements are vertically coupled to each other to form each core. Ends of the core elements disposed outside the bobbin are connected, and ends of the core elements disposed inside the bobbin are spaced apart from each other by the thickness of the bobbin partition, to form a path for magnetic flux.

  • Patent number: 7990246
    Abstract: A pulse transformer arrangement (100) is built from an uncut pulse transformer core (110) and at least one foil winding (120-A, 120-B) (each) comprising multiple insulated conducting strips arranged around the core and ending in foil winding terminals to form multiple independent primary windings. This new design principle has several advantages. Making the winding(s) of foil eliminates the need to cut the core, because of the ease of insertion of the foil winding(s) onto the core. The work to set up a plurality of primary windings is significantly reduced. In addition to the elimination of the costs for cutting the core, this also brings the further advantages of reduced DC reset current, reduced risk for electrical shorts and avoidance of excessive losses due to potential high frequency AC resistance problems.

  • Patent number: 7973634
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic component, especially a coil with a coil core, in which the turns of the coil winding are spaced apart from each other at least at one point in the longitudinal direction of the coil. A plastic retaining element which overlaps both the coil core and at least the two adjacent turns of the coil winding in a longitudinal direction is sprayed on in the area of said point, whereby a connection between the coil core and the coil winding is created at the same time. The retaining element can be sprayed around a closed circumference of the coil while covering only a portion of the coil in the longitudinal direction thereof. Preferably, the retaining element is placed approximately in the center relative to the longitudinal extension of the coil.

    Abstract: Magnetic flux in a magnetic flux distribution inside a wound iron core for a stationary apparatus is mal-distributed toward the inner periphery side where the magnetic path of a laminated magnetic steel sheet is short with respect to the total lamination thickness and magnetic resistance is small and the inner periphery side on which magnetic flux is concentrated has a high magnetic flux density and increased iron loss, and therefore magnetic steel sheets of different magnetic characteristics are disposed at an arbitrary lamination ratio to make uniform the magnetic flux distribution inside the same wound iron core.
