Patent number: 10852116Abstract: A fuze setter interface for substantially simultaneously and wirelessly transferring power and data between a fuze setter and fuze. The fuze setter interface includes separate power and communications interfaces. In the power interface, an induction coil is provided in each of the fuze setter and fuze. Power is transferred by magnetic field coupling between the induction coils. In the communications interface, a communications member is provided in each of the fuze setter and fuze, along with appropriate functions to generate alternating-current (AC) waveforms, and condition, modulate or demodulate signals. In one example, both communications members are induction coils that transfer data by magnetic field coupling. In another example, both communications members are radio-frequency (RF) transceivers that transfer data by radio signal. The RF transceiver in the fuze may be a Height of Burst (HoB) sensor.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc.Inventor: Francis M.

Patent number: 10818425Abstract: A high-voltage lead structure for a three-dimensional wound core of a transformer that includes a three-dimensional wound core spliced by three rectangular single frames, and A-phase, B-phase and C-phase windings. The three-dimensional wound core includes three core legs, an upper iron yoke and a lower iron yoke. The upper iron yoke and the lower iron yoke of the three-dimensional wound core are triangular structures respectively. The A-phase, B-phase and C-phase windings are correspondingly arranged in the three core legs. Each single-phase winding includes an internal low-voltage winding and an external high-voltage winding. High-voltage windings of the A-phase, the B-phase and the C-phase are jointly connected to a tap switch through lead-out wires. The tap switch is located outside the triangular structure of the upper iron yoke and is arranged in a vertical extension line of a midpoint between the A-phase and C-phase windings.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Haihong Electric Co., LTD.Inventors: Kaixuan Xu, Lizhen Zhai, Qingning Liang, Jingtao Luo, Libo Zhou
