336155000 | INDUCTIVE REGULATORS WITH NO RELATIVELY MOVING PARTS | 8 |
20080266041 | HIGH CURRENT LOW-PROFILE CURRENT CHOKES SUITABLE FOR USE IN DC TO DC CONVERTERS - According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of current chokes suitable for use in DC to DC converters. For example, a current choke may include a ferrite body with at least one pair of laterally spaced-apart interior conductors disposed lengthwise within the body. A first pair of end terminations may be disposed on a first end of the body and connected to the interior conductors, and a second pair of end terminations may be disposed on a second end of the body and connected to the interior conductors. A nonmagnetic dielectric may be disposed within the body laterally between the interior conductors. The nonmagnetic dielectric may be configured to control magnetic coupling between the at least one pair of interior conductors so that the current choke is operable with a coefficient of magnetic coupling between the interior conductors of less than about 0.90. | 10-30-2008 |
20080284550 | Variable Inductor - A variable inductor according to the present invention includes a control winding, two windings constituting a primary winding, and a magnetic core. The magnetic core includes a center leg and two outer legs disposed so as to sandwich the center leg, wherein the control winding is disposed around the center leg, and the two winding as the primary winding are disposed around the two outer legs, respectively. The control winding is shifted in location with respect to the two winding as the primary winding in the longitudinal direction of the legs thereby providing a sufficient spatial isolation therefrom, thus ensuring a sufficient withstand voltage between the control winding and the primary winding. | 11-20-2008 |
20080315982 | COUPLED-INDUCTOR CORE FOR UNBALANCED PHASE CURRENTS - An embodiment of a coupled-inductor core includes first and second members and first and second forms extending between the first and second members. The first form has a parameter (e.g., length) of a first value, and is operable to conduct a first magnetic flux having a first density that depends on the first value of the parameter. The second form is spaced apart from the first form, has the parameter (e.g., length) of a second value different from the first value, and is operable to conduct a second magnetic flux having a second density that depends on the second value of the parameter. Because two or more of the forms of such a core may have different values for the same parameter, the core may be suitable for use in a multiphase power supply where the currents through the phases are unbalanced. | 12-25-2008 |
20110260819 | CONTINUOUSLY TUNABLE INDUCTOR WITH VARIABLE RESISTORS - An integrated tunable inductor includes a primary inductor having a plurality of inductor turns, at least one closed loop eddy current coil proximate the primary inductor, and at least one variable resistor integrated in series with the eddy current coil. | 10-27-2011 |

20160379752 | VARIABLE INDUCTOR AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE INCLUDING VARIABLE DEVICE FOR CONVERSION OF A BASEBAND SIGNAL TO A RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) RANGE - Embodiments of a variable inductor and a communication device are generally described herein. The variable inductor may comprise a signal wire and a control wire to receive a direct current (DC) control current. The variable inductor may further comprise a magnetic material integrated with the signal wire and the control wire. When a DC control current applied to the control wires takes a first current value, an inductance between an input node and an output node on the signal wire may take a first inductance value. When the DC control current takes a second current value, the inductance between the input node and the output node may take a second inductance value. | 12-29-2016 |

20150009001 | POWER TRANSFORMER WITH ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS - The invention relates to a power transformer with electronic components. The aim of the invention is to arrange the energy supply of the electronic components of a power transformer closer to the components and thus eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art. According to the invention, a stray field collector is brought into a stray field of the power transformer, whereby a voltage is generated. | 01-08-2015 |

20140218152 | REACTOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A reactor comprises a reactor core in which two U-shaped core members are connected in a ring shape with a gap section therebetween, a primary insert-molded resin part provided covering at least an outer peripheral surface of a leg part of the core member other than an adhesion surface of the core member, a coil placed around the gap section and the leg part of the core member, and a secondary insert-molded resin part made of a thermoplastic resin and which is insert-molded around the coil to fix the coil on the reactor core and fix the leg parts of the core members in a connected state. A positioning section which determines a relative position of opposing leg parts and a window section which allows a melted thermoplastic resin for forming the secondary insert-molded resin part to flow into the gap section are formed on an end of the primary insert-molded resin part connected in a state where core members are placed connected in a ring shape. | 08-07-2014 |
