  • Patent number: 4287545
    Abstract: For optimizing the manufacturing cost of the magnetic torus of a differential transformer, the volume is reduced in that the free volume of the central aperture is fully filled: only one turn for each primary conductor, the section of which is reduced, the adjacent parts of larger section forming heat sinks, the central part of the conductors having the form of circular sectors. An important saving is secured on the most expensive part of the relay.

  • Patent number: 4150440
    Abstract: A bubble memory package is comprised of a nonmagnetizable heat sink formed with a pocket for receiving the field coil and magnetic chip carrier assemblies. The heat sink is massive and capable of dissipating the heat generated by a high density memory operating at a high frequency. The heat sink is not closed over the top of the coil and memory carrier assemblies to reduce eddy and circulating electrical currents formed in an electrically conductive heat sink. The heat sink is formed with a track guide for receiving a heat sink plate which may be of electrically nonconductive material but which has sufficient heat conductivity to assist in transferring heat into the heat sink. The top of the heat sink plate is formed with a pocket for receiving a permanent magnet to generate the bias field and the bottom of the heat sink is formed with a second pocket for receiving a magnet assembly. The entire package is surrounded by a magnetic shield container.

  • Patent number: 4149134
    Abstract: A heat storage system provides overload capacity for a vaporization-cooled electrical apparatus. An external housing, containing a heat storage fluid, is disposed around a fluid conductor connecting a non-condensable gas storage reservoir and the radiator of a vaporization-cooled electrical apparatus. At normal loads, the non-condensable gas is contained within the fluid conductor and the storage reservoir thereby thermally isolating the storage fluid from the hot vapors contained within a radiator which keeps the storage fluid at ambient temperatures. A pressure increase, caused by an overload, compresses the non-condensable gas into the storage reservoir and allows the hot vapors to flow into a portion of the fluid conductor surrounded by the external housing whereby heat is dissipated from the hot vapors to the storage fluid contained within the external housing.

  • Patent number: 4134091
    Abstract: Especially simple structure for an electrical transformer device provides cost effective fabrication thereof and offers improved operating performance particularly in a radio transmitter circuit for coupling high levels of radio frequency energy from the output of a radio frequency amplifier to an antenna system. One winding of the transformer is formed from a single, unitary, tubular member arranged into a U-shaped configuration which includes a pair of spaced sets of openings therein for the two-fold purpose of allowing efficient threading of a secondary winding therewithin and to improve air cooling characteristics of the device. A second winding comprises a wire passed through the interior of the tubular member, and a number of cylindrically shaped magnetic elements are sleeved over the tubular member to enhance the mutual inductive coupling between the windings.

  • Patent number: 4085395
    Abstract: A thin wall, stainless steel transformer case of rectangular box configuration is comprised of edge welded steel plates with its sidewalls and end walls bearing vertical, U-shaped bonded channel members of copper for mechanical reinforcement of the case and for forming transformer heat dissipating fins. Stainless steel reinforcing channel members are similarly bonded to the outside of the case bottom wall and the cover. An epoxy fiberglass strap spanning interiorly between the sidewalls of the case at its upper end and bolted to opposed brackets press the transformer core against the bottom wall of the transformer case. A pair of deformable tubes sealably project through the cover for effecting vacuum evacuation of the interior with the cover sealed to the case and for feeding insulating dielectric liquid to the transformer case interior. The tubes are pinched off and sealed after filling.

  • Patent number: 4082141
    Abstract: A ballast can be mechanically and thermally isolated from the mounting plate which acts as a heat sink by securing a pair of L-shaped channels to the bottom of the ballast with the depending leg of each channel being disposed in intimate sliding engagement with the flat surface of a respective C-shaped channel member which is secured to the mounting plate. Vibration damping washers are disposed between the L-shaped channel member and the C-shaped channel member to prevent vibrations from being transmitted from the ballast to the base while still permitting heat dissipation through the superimposed sliding surfaces of the channels.
