Abstract: Methods and apparatus for electromagnetic components comprise a core and a winding. The core and winding are configured to provide smaller and more effective electromagnetic components.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for electrical components according to various aspects of the present invention may be implemented in conjunction with an electrical system comprising a heat generating component and a cooling system. The cooling system may comprise a cooling channel and a coolant. The coolant is disposed within the cooling channel and in thermal contact with the heat generating component.

Abstract: The invention comprises an inductor mounting method and apparatus. An about annular inductor is mounted using a non-conducting clamp element passing at least into a center opening of the inductor. Mounting hardware forces the clamp element toward a mounting surface to edge mount the inductor, where the mounting hardware, non-conducting clamp element, and mounting surface minimally contact the inductor. The minimal contact allows greater surface area for liquid, convective, and/or radiative cooling of the inductor. The inductor is optionally composed of particles of magnetic material coated with carbon and embedded into an epoxy to yield a distributed gap material.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus according to various aspects of the present invention may be implemented in conjunction with a inductor mount mounting to a mounting surface. The inductor mount may comprise an inductor having a center opening, and a surface area encompassing all of a front face, a back face, an inner surface about the center opening, and an outer edge concentric about the center opening. The inductor mount may further include mounting hardware holding the outer edge of then inductor to the mounting surface. A cooling element moves air into contact with the front face, through the center opening, and around the outer edge of the inductor. In various embodiments, the mounting hardware contacts less that ten percent of the surface area of the inductor.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus according to various aspects of the present invention may operate in conjunction with an inductor. For example, n inverter/converter system according to various aspects of the present invention may include an inductor comprising a substantially annular core and a winding. The inductor may be configured for high current applications and exhibit a permeability of less than thirteen delta Gauss per delta Oersted at a load of four hundred Oersteds.
