  • Embedded inductor and method of making
    Patent number: 6975199
    Abstract: A dielectric substrate having an embedded inductor wherein each turn of the inductor traverses several layers such that the top and bottom of each turn of the inductor are parallel to each other but are in different layers and the sides of each turn of the inductor traverse at least one layer to connect the top and bottom of the inductor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 13, 2005
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Magneto-repulsion punching with dynamic damping
    Patent number: 5905352
    Abstract: Dimpling of a workpiece by rebounding of a magnetic repulsion punch mechanism, when operated at high punching rates, is avoided by application of a damping pulse at a point at or subsequent to a mid-point of a return stroke of the punch from the workpiece and preferably within the last 10% of the return stroke. This damping pulse is preferably a fraction of the pulse width and of approximately the same amplitude as a driving pulse applying kinetic energy to the punch for causing punching of the workpiece. At high punching rates the kinetic energy of the return portion of a punching stroke is substantially determined by elastic rebounding of the punch from a guide bushing. The removal of kinetic energy during the return portion of the stroke allows the return of the punch to a position close to a rest position during a very short interval with small overshoot under control of mechanical damping.
