Abstract: An inductor includes a substrate as a base material, a core portion, a coil portion, an insulating portion formed between conductors of the coil portion, and a terminal portion connecting the core portion and the coil portion to the outside. A main direction of a magnetic field that is generated in accordance with current flowing through the coil portion extends in a planar direction of the substrate. In at least a portion of the coil portion, both width and thickness of a rectangular cross-sectional area of the coil portion are larger than the width of the insulating portion.

Abstract: A circuit for converting a series of photoelectric element array voltage outputs into twice the number of binary bits is described. Each photodiode output voltage is compared against two reference voltages to produce a two bit code word signifying a low, medium or high photodiode output. This is then operated on by a circuit implementation of a logic equation to produce a two bit serial output. The result is the frequency doubling of a photodiode array output for greater fidelity during transmission and reproduction of the original image.
