Patent number: 8684010Abstract: A guided medical propulsion capsule driven by strong electro-magnetic interaction between an external AC/DC magnetic gradient-lobe generator and a set of uniquely magnetized ferrous-conductive elements contained within the capsule. The capsule is navigated through the lumens and cavities of the human body wirelessly and without any physical contact for medical diagnostic, drug delivery, or other procedures with the magnetically guiding field generator external to the human body. The capsule is equipped with at least two sets of magnetic rings, disks and/or plates each possessing anisotropic magnetic properties. The external magnetic gradient fields provide the gradient forces and rotational torques on the internal conductive and magnetic elements needed to make the capsule move, tilt, and rotate in the body lumens and cavities according to the commands of an operator.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2010Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Assignee: Magnetecs CorporationInventors: Yehoshua Shachar, Laszlo Farkas, Bruce E. Marx, David Johnson, Shawn Hakim, Winston Wu

Publication number: 20130331649Abstract: An in-vivo device includes a magnetic steering unit (MSU) to maneuver it by an external electromagnetic field. The MSU may include a permanent magnets assembly to produce a magnetic force for navigating the device. The MSU may include a magnets carrying assembly (MCA) to accommodate the permanent magnet(s). The MCA may be designed to generate eddy currents, in response to AC magnetic field, to apply a repelling force. The in-vivo device may also include a multilayered imaging and sensing printed circuit board (MISP) to capture and transmit images. The MISP may include a sensing coil assembly (SCA) to sense electromagnetic fields to determine a location/orientation/angular position of the in-vivo device. Data representing location/orientation/angular position of the device may be used by a maneuvering system to generate a steering magnetic field to steer the in-vivo device from one location or state to another location or state.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2013Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicants: Magnetecs Corporation, GIVEN IMAGING LTD.Inventors: Semion Khait, Zvika Gilad, Josh Schachar, Laszlo Farkas, Bruce Marx, David Johnson, Shawn Hakim

Patent number: 4812941Abstract: A capacitor for a AC applications is manufactured from zinc alloy metallized polypropylene sheet material. The sheet material is wound into one or sections having a roll-shape, which sections are placed within a metal container and provided with electrical terminals for connecting to the exterior of the container. The metal container is then filled with a potting compound comprising 80%-90% blown asphalt and 10%-20% wax additive. When the potting compound sets, the capacitor sections are sealed therein so as to be protected from air, moisture and thermal and electrical shock. The container is then covered with a top which includes a pressure interrupter, and it is sealed. This capacitor exhibits improved resistance to deterioration due to environmental factors over long periods of time, and it permits operation with higher voltages than was previously possible.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 1987Date of Patent: March 14, 1989Assignee: Magnetec CorporationInventors: Ronald B. Rice, Edward M. Lobo, Hector A. Casanova, Theodore P. Kosnosky

Patent number: 4786047Abstract: Apparatus for conveying a sheet of paper from a power feeder to an exit point including a frame for guiding the moving sheet along a preselected path and including a flexible member between the feeder and the exit point for normally guiding the sheet along the preselected path, the flexible member allowing the sheet to buckle in a direction normal to the plane of and away from the preselected path in response to an obstruction.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 1986Date of Patent: November 22, 1988Assignee: Magnetec CorporationInventors: Charles Bickoff, William J. Smith, Donald L. Suprise
