  • Patent number: 4374370
    Abstract: A helical resonator filter comprising two or more helical coils is provided with a conductive coupling element between the helical coils for modifying the filter bandwidth. A coupling element is a conductor and is positioned in the maximum of the electrical field at the open end of the helical coils or at the maximum of the magnetic field at the grounded end of the coils, or both thereby creating controlled change in capacitive (electrical) or inductive (magnetic) coupling, respectively. A block of suitable dielectric with grooves for receiving the coupling element and the ribs on the inside of a conductive cover can be used to center the coupling element and the whole filter assembly structure when the cover is put in place and clamps the block securely to the base of the filter. Additional coupling elements can be used in a similar manner as above when additional helical coils are used in a filter.

  • Patent number: 4333900
    Abstract: A process for making an encapsulated electrical insulation system such as a transformer which includes a porous fiber material filling. The system is vacuum baked at a temperature range of 100.degree. C. to 155.degree. C. for at least four hours, and is then vacuum impregnated with a mixture of a modified bisphenol A epoxy resin hardener comprising various acid anhydrides plus promoters. Pressure is then applied to the system of 1,000 psi. of nitrogen at 80.degree. C. for 2 to 12 hours. Thereafter, the temperature is increased to 110.degree. C. for 2 to 12 hours. The system is then cured at 135.degree. C. for approximately 12 to 24 hours. To minimize corona, shields are placed in selected portions of the transformer, the shields having edges formed into radii ends to avoid points at which corona would normally tend to concentrate. Also, the transformer is wound using ultra-clean components to obtain a transformer package that is free from impurities prior to impregnation.

  • Patent number: 4296395
    Abstract: Certain windings in a transformer are subjected to radially inwardly-directed forces while being short-circuited. If such a winding is not sufficiently stable itself, particularly with respect to tape windings, or does not have sufficient support radially outwardly or inwardly, it will buckle or break. To prevent such an occurrence, it is possible to arrange an outward support around the winding by completely or partly filling up the space between the winding, which is subjected to buckling stress, and a second winding positioned outside the first winding. Additionally, there is required an inner supporting cylinder, which is preferably made of metal, so that it can be made relatively thin.

  • Patent number: 4251728
    Abstract: A toroidal magnetic deflection coil for an electron beam lithography system which is compensated for deflection placement errors that normally result from eddy currents generated within the coil windings by deflection current inputs to the coil. The compensation is achieved through addition of passive conductive material along the outer periphery of the coil. The conductive material or layer is arranged close to the outer arms of the toroidal coil windings, and thereby compensates the eddy currents within the deflection coils generated by the deflection currents in the inner arms. The compensating material can be utilized to compensate for beam drag which results from the driving circuit settling time and the inductive or capacitive coupling as well, by adding more material of appropriate dimensions.
