Publication number: 20240186058Abstract: A coil for a transformer assembly is provided. The coil extends circumferentially around a longitudinal axis. The coil comprises a foil winding arrangement and a conductor element. The foil winding arrangement extends circumferentially around the longitudinal axis and has four edge regions. The conductor element covers at least partially at least one of the edge regions of the foil winding arrangement. The conductor element allows for a reduction in an electric field that arises during an operation of the transformer assembly at the edges of the foil winding arrangement. In this manner, a performance improvement in partial discharge tests and lightning impulse tests can be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Antonio Nogues, Carlos Roy, Victor Manuel Garcia, Rafael Murillo, Lorena Cebrian, Pilar Morata, Fernando Munoz

Patent number: 8075147Abstract: An optical device for coupling the luminous output of a light-emitting diode (LED) to a predominantly spherical pattern comprises a transfer section that receives the LED's light within it and an ejector positioned adjacent the transfer section to receive light from the transfer section and spread the light generally spherically. A base of the transfer section is optically aligned and/or coupled to the LED so that the LED's light enters the transfer section. The transfer section can comprises a compound elliptic concentrator operating via total internal reflection. The ejector section can have a variety of shapes, and can have diffusive features on its surface as well, including a phosphor coating. The transfer section can in some implementations be polygonal, V-grooved, faceted and other configurations.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2008Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Light Prescriptions Innovators, LLCInventors: Julio Cesar Chaves, Juan Carlos Minano, Pablo Benitez, William A.
