Abstract: A planar resonator and method of manufacture provides contactless power transfer using at least two electrically isolated axis aligned conductive across the transfer interface in a coupled inductor or transformer configuration. Signal or power transfer is then accomplished by coupling of magnetic flux. The coupling of electric flux is also accomplished across a same interface and driven with the same conductive spiral-wound conductors. An interface of energy transfer(IOET) has a first spiral-shaped conductor arranged on the top surface of said IOET; a second spiral-shaped conductor arranged on the bottom surface of said IOET, has a vertical axis aligned with the first spiral-shaped conductor. The IOET and the first and second spiral-shaped conductors have a predetermined self-resonant frequency.

Abstract: A liquid crystal is configured as a photonic crystal by an establishment of a network of biased liquid crystal regions within the liquid crystal. The liquid crystal is situated between a dielectric plane including an electrode plate and a glass plate, and a dielectric plane including a glass plate and a plurality of electrode pixels. The network is established by a selective application of one or more electric potentials between an electrode plate and one or more of the electrode pixels.

Abstract: The present invention provides a foil wound low profile power L-C processor. A magnetic winding is disposed within a core. The magnetic winding can be made of one or more sets of conductive foil and insulation film wound together in a spiral pattern. The magnetic winding can also include dielectric film. The magnetic winding can have a center aperture in which a non-magnetic and non-conductive center post can be disposed. The center post can also be divided into portions with a combined length less than the length of the center aperture to form an air gap within the center aperture.

Abstract: A dual energy coupling device involving the transfer of magnetic energy and electric energy between a pair of electric conductors is disclosed. The transfer of magnetic energy establishes an inductive coupling of a power source and a load of the device whereby an electric signal as a power signal or an indication of information can be communicated between inductively coupled power source and load. The transfer of electric energy facilitates an establishment of a capacitive coupling of another power source and another load of the device whereby an electric signal as part of a power signal or an indication of information can be communicated between the capacitively coupled power source and load.

Abstract: The present invention provides a foil winding with multiple high current terminals and a method for producing the foil winding. Conductive foil and insulation film are wound together to form a wound assembly. During winding, temporary pins are placed along the axis at radii where terminals are desired. Foil windings are cut from the wound assembly and terminals pressed into place where the cutoff pins remain in the foil winding from the temporary pins. In an alternate method, a terminal pin can take the place of the temporary pin when winding the wound assembly and remain in the foil winding as the electrical connection to the conductive foil.

Abstract: The present invention provides a foil wound low profile power L-T processor. A magnetic winding is disposed within a core. The magnetic winding comprises concentric tape windings having at least one terminal and separated by insulating space. The tape windings can be made of conductive foil and insulation film wound together in a spiral pattern. The magnetic winding can have a center aperture in which a non-magnetic and non-conductive center post can be disposed. The center post can also be divided into portions with a combined length less than the length of the center aperture to form an air gap within the center aperture.
