Sumie Arai 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).
Abstract: An inductor is provided so that reduction in DC superposition characteristics can be suppressed even when a filling rate of a magnetic powder is increased. The inductor includes a coil including a winding portion and a pair of extended portions extended from the winding portion, and a body having the coil embedded therein and containing a magnetic powder containing a first magnetic powder and a second magnetic powder, in which an average particle diameter of the first magnetic powder is larger than an average particle diameter of the second magnetic powder. In a cross section of the body including a winding axis of the winding portion and extending in a long side direction of the body, Voronoi partition is performed with a center of gravity of each magnetic powder as a generating point.

Abstract: An inductor includes a body having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and a pair of outer electrodes. The body includes a core having a base and a columnar portion formed on an upper surface of the base, includes a coil including a pair of extended portions and a wound portion having an upper stage portion and a lower stage portion, and includes a magnetic material containing magnetic powder and covering a part of the core, a part of the pair of extended portions, and the wound portion. The pair of outer electrodes are disposed on a mounting surface of the body and are connected to the pair of respective extended portions. A shape in plan view of the wound portion is hollow and a substantially circular shape having a short direction and a long direction, and the upper stage portion includes a protruding portion protruding in the short direction.
