  • Patent number: 11716005
    Abstract: A converter includes a coil of axis XX?, a multi-pole magnet, arranged in such a way that the magnetic polarities of two adjacent magnetised zones are oriented so that they are anti-parallel, a ferromagnetic field frame comprising a frame and a main section, the field frame further comprising a main air gap located on the main section, and a first lateral air gap and a second lateral air gap which are located on the frame, the main air gap, the first lateral air gap and the second lateral air gap being arranged in such a way as to form a guide member in which the multi-pole magnet is inserted by sliding, and in such a way as to allow a magnetic coupling of three successive magnetised zones with, respectively, the first lateral air gap, the main air gap, and the second lateral air gap.

  • Publication number: 20230039494
    Abstract: An electromagnetic device for converting energy comprises: a ferromagnetic core of essentially planar shape and delimited by a peripheral contour; a primary winding and a secondary winding formed by primary turns and secondary turns, respectively. The device includes, arranged against the peripheral contour, a first block and a second block and a ferromagnetic material, and has a magnetic permeability lower than that of the ferromagnetic core. At least one primary turn and/or at least one secondary turn is formed around or passing through the first block and/or the second block to form, respectively, a first leakage inductance and/or a second leakage inductance.

  • Publication number: 20220294324
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetic device (10) comprising: a coil; a main magnet pivoting about an axis XX?, a first and second yoke (50, 50?), a first and second stabilizer magnet (41, 42), as well as a first and second actuator magnet (31, 32) arranged to slide along the axis YY? that is perpendicular to the pivot axis XX?, in such a way as to force the main magnet (30) to adopt an equilibrium position, the stabilizer magnets (41, 42) being arranged such that this sliding is accompanied by a movement of the stabilizer magnets (41, 42) so as to position one of the stabilizer magnets (41, 42) in a given position in order to limit the leaks which could occur at one of the two yokes.

  • Patent number: 10629353
    Abstract: An electronic device including a carrier, at least one active component, and at least one inductor, the inductor including a core and a winding surrounding at least part of the core, the core delimiting at least part of a magnetic field along which magnetic flux lines are intended to run. The core includes a body including at least two portions defining two successive zones of the magnetic path, the thickness of each portion being lower with respect to the length and to the width thereof, each portion including a surface that is lateral with respect to a direction of the magnetic path, a first of the portions being in direct contact with the carrier via part of its lateral surface and a second portion being positioned with respect to the carrier such that its lateral surface is free of contact with the carrier.

  • Patent number: 8702411
    Abstract: A pressing tooling machine, including one or two punches, a die including sectors that can separate from each other but are connected to a shared primary portion, and a ring surrounding and holding the sectors, against which it is adjusted by tapered surfaces, and the altitude of which varies owing to the rotation of a crown provided with a surface in relief. When compression is finished, stripping is preceded by a slight separation of the sectors, which makes it possible to release stresses in the compressed piece and avoid many risks of damaging the piece. The sectors are made resistant by inserts made from a hard material, generally removable and able to be machined to an exact profile of the pieces to the formed.

  • Patent number: 8647563
    Abstract: When compressing a part, stress concentrations are prevented when it is removed from the mold by lowering an insert so as to release the top of a fine, flexible inner tube in such a way that it can expand in the location where the part will be removed from the mold, and can partially release the inner stresses in the part, in the area of the portion which has been removed from the mold.
