  • Patent number: 5023585
    Abstract: A common-mode choking coil comprises a closed magnetic path core which is formed, for example, by combining two U-shaped cores. Two coils wound in opposite respective directions are mounted on two legs of the closed magnetic path core. These coils are formed by single-layer winding. That is a conductor wire is wound in only one layer, for example, around a bobbin. Then, the bobbins whereon the conductor wire is wound are mounted on the two legs of the closed magnetic path core. For the conductor wire used for the coil, a material having a spring property may be used. Utilizing this spring property of the coil, the closed magnetic path core can be held together by the coil, whereby the two U-shaped cores can be combined. Also, the two coils are identified by colors according to the winding direction of the respective conductor wires.

Forceps are provided to be connected across the output of the transformer for producing an isolated voltage for use in sealing off bleeding blood vessels. A handpiece is also provided for connection across the transformer output for selectively producing a cutting voltage or a coagulation voltage. An intensity control circuit is capable of connection in the power supply to control the output voltage. A pulse modulation unit is capable of being connected at the input of the oscillator to control the "on" time of the oscillator.

  • Patent number: 4017701
    Abstract: Disclosed is an induction heating apparatus wherein the tank circuit and heater coil are combined in a single unit which is separated from the power supply. A coil forms both the inductance element of a tuned circuit and the primary winding of a current transformer. The inductance element is associated with a secondary winding formed by a metal sheet of material wrapped about the inductance element and can form both the capacitance of the tuned circuit and the secondary winding of the current transformer. A heat transfer unit is connected directly to the secondary winding formed by the single turn of sheet material and is used to provide inductive heating to a work surface to which thermally activated adhesives are to be secured. The induction heating unit is formed as a hand-held portable gun and includes the electronic circuitry in a rear body portion of the gun and the heat transfer unit forms a nosepiece for the gun so that precise local areas can be heated.

  • Patent number: 3982814
    Abstract: A dampened choke coil structure having a ferromagnetic core and a winding of wire disposed about the core to form a choke coil. A second winding of substantially higher resistance material is wound generally parallel to the choke winding either inside or outside thereof. The number of turns of the two windings differ by more than 25%. In this way, parasitic capacitances are caused to have a decreased effect on the choke coils.

  • Patent number: 3946397
    Abstract: An improved inductor arrangement suitable for a wide variety of applications, but particularly advantageous for use in the design of ferrite antenna structures intended to operate at the relatively higher frequencies. The disclosed inductor arrangement includes a spiral inductor or coil divided into a plurality of wire segments, respective pairs of which are interconnected by individual capacitance elements to form a plurality of series-resonant circuits at a particular frequency or range of interest. The capacitance elements may be provided in the form of discreet components or by a suitable electro-deposition process in the interests of further optimizing size factor. The number of individual wire segments and resonating capacitance elements may be selected to provide a given terminal impedance for the inductor arrangement within a certain limited design range.
