  • Patent number: 12272480
    Abstract: According to the invention a packaged inductive component comprises an inductive element and an electrically insulating packaging enclosing the inductive element. The packaging comprises a first area consisting of a thermally conductive material and a second area consisting of a thermally insulating material. The first area has a first surface being an outside surface of the packaged inductive component. The outer surfaces of the packaged inductive component are free of any electrical potential. The packaged inductive component allows for an improved heat dissipation. In particular, heat generated by power losses in the inductive element dissipates through the first area of the packaging to an outside surface of the packaged inductive component. This leads to an affordable packaged inductive component. The inductive element can be for example an inductor or a transformer.

  • Patent number: 12272217
    Abstract: Systems and methods include extracting item parameters from images of items positioned at a POS system. Item parameters associated with each item when mapped into a feature vector for each item are indicative as to an identification of the item. The feature vectors are analyzed to determine whether item parameters when combined and mapped into the feature vectors match a corresponding feature vector stored in a database. The database stores different combinations of item parameters as mapped into different stored feature vectors with different stored feature vectors associated with different items thereby identifying each item based on each different combination of item parameters as mapped into each stored feature vector associated with each item. Each item positioned at the POS system is identified when the feature vectors associated with each item match a corresponding stored feature vector as stored in the database.

  • Patent number: 12266458
    Abstract: A common mode choke (64) comprises a magnetic core (58) and a first (Wab) and a second (Wcd) winding of insulated wire having the same number of turns wound on the magnetic core. The turns of each winding are numbered consecutively and arranged in at least two layers, of which a first layer of turns is wound directly on the magnetic core and a second layer of turns is wound around a section of the first layer. The two layers are arranged such that the difference between the highest number of a turn in the second layer and the lowest number of a turn in the section of the first layer on which the second layer is wound is less than or equal to 50% of the number of turns in the first layer. In this way, the effect of the parasitic capacitance between the layers is minimized.
