Patents by Inventor Karl Osbourne

Karl Osbourne 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).

  • Patent number: 9460885
    Abstract: A low-filter is arranged for attachment to an exterior face of a wall of an electrically conducting screened chamber encasing the magnetron and an associated isolation transformer electrically connected to terminals of the magnetron. Output connections of the filter pass directly through an interface between the electrically conducting screened chamber and the filter to connect electrically, directly or indirectly, with the isolation transformer. There are therefore no electrical leads outside the screened chamber electrically connecting the filter to the isolation transformer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9019044
    Abstract: An inductive filter for a magnetron power supply lead comprises an electrically insulating tube; a power lead located partially within the electrically insulating tube, and coaxial therewith, for supplying power from a magnetron power supply to a magnetron, a first core of a first magnetic material and a second core of a second magnetic material coaxially located on the electrically insulating tube; an insulating disc of same external diameter as the first core and the second core and coaxially located on the electrically insulating tube between the first core and the second core. The inductive filter is arranged to filter noise of a first frequency band and noise of a second, different, frequency band different from being transmitted along the power lead and to absorb a predetermined transient voltage from being transmitted along the power lead.
