Patent number: 10200774Abstract: A sensor cord construction to prevent capacitance variation is described herein. A sensor may be connected to a controller via a cord that includes a first cable and a second cable. The first cable includes first shield wires that are twisted around the first cable in a first direction, and the second cable includes second shield wires that are twisted around the second cable in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.

Patent number: 5508673Abstract: A transformer designed for 1:N voltage transformation (where 1:N may be any rational number) at high frequencies (such as over 7 megahertz) can achieve acceptable frequency response and attendant improved values of signal attenuation and signal distortion by physically separating two or more sets of electrically tightly coupled windings and connecting one winding of different sets in parallel and the other winding of the same sets in series. This interconnection of windings to achieve a 1:N transformation ratio reduces the negative effects of the interwinding capacitance thereby providing the improved frequency response.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1993Date of Patent: April 16, 1996Assignee: Alcatel Network Systems, Inc.Inventor: Robert B.

Patent number: 5337028Abstract: The present invention reduces the volume and weight of capacitive and inductance devices, particularly used in filters, by combining the capacitive elements and inductive elements into the same construction. Accordingly, alternating conducting and dielectric sheets of material are wound into a coil. The conducting sheets can be variously connected to signal lines and to ground in order to form common mode, differential mode and/or mixed mode filters.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1992Date of Patent: August 9, 1994Assignee: Sundstrand CorporationInventor: Curtis B.

Patent number: 5245521Abstract: A method and apparatus for suppressing capacitive current in transformers is described. The winding of a transformer is constructed or modified into two substantially identical winding halves wired in a series aiding configuration. Two leads emanate from the center point of the winding, where the two halves are connected in series. This center point is at a constant potential throughout the switching cycle of the transformer. Suppression of the capacitive current in the input/output leads of the transformer is achieved by introducing common mode impedance into each lead and a corresponding center tap lead. The common mode impedance can be introduced in a variety of ways such as: running the pair of leads through a toroid, bead or sleeve of magnetic material; winding the leads on a magnetic toroid or rod; or using the magnetic core structure to introduce the impedance.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 1991Date of Patent: September 14, 1993Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: James H.

Patent number: RE38082Abstract: A pulse transformer for use in a high frequency motor controller to isolate the electronic control stages from the power stages in a motor controller. The primary and secondary windings are wound on a common ferrite core and spaced apart from one another. The wire size used for the windings is relatively small (gauge 37 or less). Each of the windings has between 10 and 13 turns. The interwinding capacitance must be below 5 picofarads, preferably below 1 picofarad, and most preferably below 0.2 picofarads.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2000Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Kollmorgen CorporationInventor: Saso P.
