  • Patent number: 10278279
    Abstract: A power adapter device may include a power field effect transistor (FET), a transformer including a radiant heat exchanger, and electrical conductors coupled between the power FET and the transformer. The electrical conductors may transfer heat generated by the power FET from the power FET to the transformer. The radiant heat exchanger may dissipate a portion of the heat to cool the power FET. As such, the radiant heat exchanger may function as a heat sink for the power FET, enabling efficient heat dissipation using a compact design.

  • Patent number: 10105811
    Abstract: An eddy current monitoring system may include an elongated core. One or more coils may be coupled with the elongated core for producing an oscillating magnetic field that may couple with one or more conductive regions on a wafer. The core may be translated relative to the wafer to provide improved resolution while maintaining sufficient signal strength. An eddy current monitoring system may include a DC-coupled marginal oscillator for producing an oscillating magnetic field at a resonant frequency, where the resonant frequency may change as a result of changes to one or more conductive regions. Eddy current monitoring systems may be used to enable real-time profile control.

    Abstract: In order to provide an air core coil fitting apparatus that can automatically fit an air core coil onto a core, an air core coil fitting apparatus includes a holding member, a coil fitting rod, a rod driving member, a pushing member, and a sending member. The holding member holds a core main body that is formed in a ring shape, has a gap extending through the core main body from an inner circumferential face to an outer circumferential face thereof, and allows an air core coil wound in advance to be fitted onto the core main body from one end thereof. On the coil fitting rod, the air core coil that is to be fitted onto the core main body held by the holding member is fitted. The rod driving member brings a front end of the coil fitting rod close to or into contact with the one end of the core main body held by the holding member.
