  • Patent number: 6321169
    Abstract: An equivalent circuit and an analysis method are provided for highly accurately indicating characteristic of an inductance element wherein ferrite material is used. An equivalent circuit is used, wherein a closed circuit with resistance Rm1 and Rm2, and inductance Lm1 and Lm2 magnetically connects to inductance Ls of LsCpRp parallel circuit at coupling coefficients k1 and k2. First, the values of circuit constants Ls, Rp, and Cp are determined by making use of the conditions at the resonance point. Next, changes of reactance component in the equivalent circuit for frequency are calculated, based on the determined values of circuit constants Ls, Rp, and Cp, and find the values of frequency fm1 and fm2 whereat reactance component should be decreased by comparing frequency changes of measured reactance component.

  • Patent number: 6252481
    Abstract: Delamination in the conventional chip-type electronic part may create voids thereinside, allowing an internal electrode therein to vibrate in presence of external impacts or large electromagnetic forces caused by a high frequency current flowing inside the electrode, in such a way that fatigue may accumulate in the internal electrode, which eventually will results in the internal electrode being electrically disconnected. To solve this problem, a chip-type electronic part of the present invention includes synthetic resins impregnated into the voids to secure the internal electrode, wherein external electrodes of the chip-type electronic part are made of a conductive synthetic resin or a porous conductive material formed by sintering a conductive paste.
