  • Patent number: 11963449
    Abstract: To increase thermoelectromotive voltage of a thermoelectric conversion element with a magnetization direction, a temperature gradient direction, and an electromotive force direction orthogonal to each other. A thermoelectric conversion element 1 is formed by annularly winding a thermoelectric material which is radially magnetized and circumferentially generates an electromotive force in accordance with a temperature gradient in the axial direction thereof. Thus, the thermoelectric material is wound not linearly but annularly, so that a connection line for connecting a plurality of thermoelectric materials is not necessary. In particular, when the thermoelectric material is wound in a plurality of turns, the length per unit area of the thermoelectric material in the direction of the electromotive force can be significantly increased, making it possible to significantly increase thermoelectromotive voltage while suppressing increase in the size of the element.

  • Patent number: 11961652
    Abstract: In a coil component, a shield layer is provided after the unevenness of the surface of an element body is smoothened by the surface being covered with an insulating layer. A Cu layer of the shield layer is provided on a smooth surface, and thus a thickness variation can be suppressed and the Cu layer can be formed with a substantially uniform thickness. In the coil component, a point where the shield layer is thin or a point lacking the shield layer is unlikely to be generated and a functional degradation of the shield layer is effectively suppressed.
