The center of the winding width of the primary coil is shifted from the center of the winding width of the secondary coils by a predetermined width so as to balance outputs from the two secondary coils. A casting material is filled into a gap between the housing and the coil assembly and gaps which the coil assembly has.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2008Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignees: Toyo Denso Kabushiki Kaisha, Denso CorporationInventors: Shuichi Matsubayashi, Ikuo Hirayama, Masami Kojima, Takashi Tauchi

Patent number: 7752736Abstract: A method of providing axially alternating N and S poles in a portion of an axially extending, cylindrical, smooth shaft for a linear stepper motor and a method of manufacturing a magnetizing fixture are provided. A magnetizing fixture is provided including a hollow cylindrical mandrel formed from a non-magnetic material, a single conductive wire serially disposed in parallel, circumferential channels defined in an outer surface of the mandrel, and a central bore defined axially and centrally through the mandrel. The portion of the shaft is inserted in the central bore and a direct current is provided through the wire to magnetize alternating N and S poles along the cylindrical shaft. The wire may be placed in the parallel, circumferential channels such that the direction of flow of a direct current in one channel is in the opposite direction of the flow in the adjacent channels.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2007Date of Patent: July 13, 2010Assignee: Tritex CorporationInventor: Robert Pulford, Jr.

Inverter transformer and inverter power module having the same for use in electric/electronic device
Patent number: 7746206Abstract: An inverter power module for use in an electric/electronic device includes a driving circuit board, a power transformer mounted on the driving circuit board, an inverter transformer mounted on the driving circuit board, and a blocking unit to block a magnetic flux that is generated from the inverter transformer from being emitted to the outside. With this, the magnetic flux that is generated from the inverter transformer is blocked from being emitted to the outside, thereby allowing an EMI noise, a heating problem, a noise of the system circuit, etc. to be minimized.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2007Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Cheol-jin Park -
Patent number: 7710231Abstract: An ignition coil includes a coil body, a plug connection portion protruding from the coil body, and a connector for electrically connecting the ignition coil to an outside. In the coil body, a primary coil is arranged on an inner peripheral side of a secondary coil, and a center core is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the primary coil. The secondary coil includes a secondary electric wire having thereon an insulating film, wound around an outer periphery of a resinous secondary spool. Furthermore, the connector is formed integrally with an end of the secondary spool in an axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2008Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Katsunori Akimoto

Publication number: 20100097168Abstract: A cladding (cover) element (32) includes a reception unit which is integrated therein. The reception unit contains a receiving coil (10) for the contactless transfer of electric energy and a plurality of flux-conducting elements (15a, 15b; 16a, 16b) that are associated with the receiving coil (10) for concentrating the field strength. The cover element (32) is made of a fiber-reinforced plastic. The flux-conducting elements (15a, 15b; 16a, 16b) and the receiving coil (10) are arranged in a base body (18) that is used to position the elements and coil and are embedded with the base body (18) in the cladding element (32). A process is also provided for producing the cladding element (32).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2007Publication date: April 22, 2010Inventors: Wolfgang Hahn, Qinghua Zheng, Andreas Diekmann
