Publication number: 20100127810Abstract: An apparatus for cost-effective and efficient cooling of an active element. The active element may be a magnetic element such as an inductor or a transformer having windings and a core. A thermally conductive vessel has a cavity that is adapted to conform to a surface of the active element, with a small gap remaining between the surface of the active element and the surface of the cavity. The winding is adapted to have a uniform surface, by utilizing an edge winding or a machined winding fabricated from an extruded tube. A thermally conductive encapsulant fills gaps in the apparatus to further improve cooling.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2008Publication date: May 27, 2010Inventor: Wally E. Rippel

Patent number: 7710231Abstract: An ignition coil includes a coil body, a plug connection portion protruding from the coil body, and a connector for electrically connecting the ignition coil to an outside. In the coil body, a primary coil is arranged on an inner peripheral side of a secondary coil, and a center core is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the primary coil. The secondary coil includes a secondary electric wire having thereon an insulating film, wound around an outer periphery of a resinous secondary spool. Furthermore, the connector is formed integrally with an end of the secondary spool in an axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2008Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Katsunori Akimoto

Patent number: 7710229Abstract: An ignition coil includes primary and secondary coils, center and outer cores, and an ion current detector for transmitting an ion current detection output. The center core has an axial upper end defining a center core upper end surface. The outer core has an axial upper end defining an outer core upper end surface. The center core upper end surface axially protrudes upwardly relative to the outer core upper end surface. The center core upper end surface is located at a stagger distance axially from the outer core upper end surface. The stagger distance is defined such that a detection period for residual magnetic noise in the ion current detection output falls within a system requirement period of a control unit.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2007Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Masahiro Inagaki

Patent number: 7696848Abstract: A pair of disk-shaped guide members abut on opposite end surfaces in the axial direction of a conductor wire wound round into a coil shape by using a separable jig. The guide members are biased toward each other by engaging a part of the conductor wire with engaging portions formed at circumferences of the pair of guide members. Then, the jig is separated from the center of the conductor wire, thereby maintaining the coiled shape of the conductor wire to create a bobbinless coil having an exposed inner peripheral surface. In addition, the pair of disk-shaped guide members are biased toward each other by utilizing a part of the conductor wire, and therefore a special biasing member is not needed.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2005Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hirotomi Nemoto
