Patents by Inventor Darin Driessen

Darin Driessen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • High current, multiple air gap, conduction cooled, stacked lamination inductor
    Patent number: 7573362
    Abstract: A power inductor assembly includes and multiple coil sections disposed upon a mounting frame. Multiple winding sections each encircle one of the multiple core sections and a portion of the mounting frame. Air gap spacers separate adjacent core sections. The arrangement facilitates removal of thermal energy from the magnetic core. Lamination build direction normal to inductor mounting surface minimizes eddy current losses.
    Type: Grant
