  • Publication number: 20240087807
    Abstract: A powder magnetic core according to an aspect of the present disclosure is a powder magnetic core in which a magnetic powder is bonded via a binder layer. The powder magnetic core contains 88 volume % or more of magnetic powder, and when a cross-sectional photograph of the powder magnetic core is taken, an area of the cross-sectional photograph having a size of 10000 ?m2 is divided into unit areas, one or more of the unit areas in which the size of a cross-sectional area of a binder accounts for 50% or more of the unit area are extracted as specific unit areas, and the percentage of the number of specific unit areas with respect to the total number of unit areas is equal to or larger than 0.2% but equal to or smaller than 3.0%.

  • Publication number: 20240087781
    Abstract: A powder magnetic core capable of achieving a low loss in a high frequency range is provided. A powder magnetic core according to the present disclosure is a powder magnetic core in which a magnetic powder is bonded via a binder layer. A volume filling percentage of the magnetic powder included in the powder magnetic core is 85 volume % or higher, and a value obtained by dividing a BET specific surface area (m2/g) of the powder magnetic core by a specific surface area (m2/g) calculated using outer dimensions of the powder magnetic core is 5000 or less.

  • Patent number: 6873373
    Abstract: An image emphasizing apparatus includes: an outline component extraction section; a threshold value calculation section for calculating first and second threshold values; and an outline correction section for generating an outline emphasizing signal from the outline component based on the first and second threshold values, and adding the outline emphasizing signal to the input video signal, thereby generating an output video signal, wherein the outline correction section includes: an emphasizing signal generation section for generating the outline emphasizing signal, which is generated while limiting an absolute value of the outline component so as to be equal to or smaller than the first threshold value when the absolute value of the outline component is equal to or smaller than the second threshold value; and a signal addition section for adding the outline compensation signal generated based on the outline emphasizing signal to the input video signal.
