  • Publication number: 20130099881
    Abstract: A small superconducting undulator with a period less than 1 cm, referred to here as a “super-mini” undulator. The embodiment of the super-mini encompasses of two coils wound bifilarly around a pair of bobbins in a racetrack configuration, such that the currents in adjacent coil segments run antiparallel to each other. If such coils are arranged alongside each other, separated only by a small gap on the order of a couple of millimeters, a spatially alternating magnetic field is produced that makes a passing electron beam undulate and emit undulator radiation. The wound bobbins are mounted within a frame and combined with upper and lower pole pieces to close gap between the wire coils.

    Abstract: A damascene process is utilized to fabricate the segmented magnetic core elements of an integrated circuit inductor structure. The magnetic core is electroplated from a seed layer that is conformal with a permanent dielectric mold that results in sidewall plating defining an easy magnetic axis. The hard axis runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the core and the inductor coils are orthogonal to the core's longitudinal axis. The magnetic field generated by the inductor coils is, therefore, parallel and self-aligned to the hard magnetic axis. The easy axis is enhanced by electroplating in an applied magnetic field parallel to the easy axis.

The invention presents a method of embedding a microcontroller into each individual cell in the array, which executes measurements of cell voltage, temperature and optionally instantaneous current. These measurements are aimed to reflect the cell state-of-charge and its overall maintenance state, i.e. health or life expectancy. The measured data is thence transmitted over the same wires that conduct the electrical energy to and from the battery cells using a Rogowsky type coil (a.k.a. current transformer) to superimpose a high-frequency alternating-current modulated signal over any direct current flowing through the power wires.

  • Patent number: 8341824
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a stator coil to be wound in and around a stator by bending an insulating-coating conducting wire so as to alternately have slot-held conductor sections to be held in slots of the stator and a coil-end conductor sections each mutually connecting two of the slot-held conductor sections outside the slots. The method includes arranging three or more pairs of molds at predetermined intervals along the insulating-coating conducting wire, each pair of molds having paired molds facing each other with the wire located therebetween. First, the coil-end conductor sections are formed by moving the mold pairs such that the paired molds come closer to each other. Then the slot-held conductor sections are formed by moving the molds, in parallel, in both the longitudinal direction along which the insulating-coating conducting wire extends and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 8336486
    Abstract: There is provided a tape core wire manufacturing apparatus that makes it possible to manufacture a large variety of tape core wires in small quantities with ease, and in addition, makes it easy to apply a uniform coating over a broad width. In the tape core wire manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, a coating apparatus that applies a coating material to respective optical fiber core wires has a coating head that moves in the longitudinal direction relatively to the respective optical fiber core wires that have been placed in a row on a coating jig. The coating head has a position adjustment surface that is located in the vicinity of a coating member of the coating head and adjusts the positioning in the thickness direction of the respective optical fiber core wires when these are in the form of a tape. This position adjustment surface is pressed against the respective optical fiber core wires. The coating head is also able to be tilted in the longitudinal direction.

  • Publication number: 20120317795
    Abstract: A method for producing a gradient coil assembly for a magnetic resonance imaging system includes applying a number of primary gradient coils and a number of secondary gradient coils to a winding mandrel to form the gradient coil assembly. A control coil arrangement is associated with the winding mandrel. During an intermediate check before completion of the gradient coil assembly, at least one coupling inductance value between the control coil arrangement and at least one of the primary gradient coils and/or at least one of the secondary gradient coils is determined. An arrangement of the relevant gradient coils on the winding mandrel is corrected as a function of the at least one coupling inductance value.

    Abstract: A resolver (100) used for a rotational angle detecting device is provided with a stator (200) which is formed with a plurality of annularly-linked stator teeth (210) and a rotor (300) which is rotatably provided with respect to the stator (200). A group of output windings which have output windings connected in series in order to obtain an output signal corresponding to the rotational angle of the rotor (300) are wound about the stator teeth (210). When a number is assigned to each stator tooth (210) in accordance with the order of placement of the stator tooth (210), the number of windings W(k) of the output windings wound about the k-th stator tooth (210) is defined by the following formula (1). Thus, with respect to methods of detecting a rotational angle or winding synchronizing device windings in order to output a sinusoidal signal from the group of output windings, the number of windings can be easily set compared to in the past.

  • Patent number: 8327524
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an inductive component whose soft magnetic core is produced by pouring a casting resin into a mold filled with a soft magnetic alloy powder and by subsequently hardening the casting resin with the alloy powder in order to form a solid soft magnetic core. This technique prevents the surface insulation of the alloy particles from becoming damaged, thereby largely preventing the formation of bulky eddy currents in the resulting soft magnetic cores. This enables a distinct reduction in the electric loss of the inductive component.
