An inductive device is described such as may be utilized as a coil assembly in magnetic forming apparatus. Force exerted on a damage susceptible region of a primary conductor, as a result of magnetic pressure between the primary conductor and an adjacent secondary conductor, is relieved by an electrically floating magnetic shield disposed adjacent the damage susceptible region.

An inductive coupler (1) comprises a rectifier (2) to rectify an input alternating current power supply, a high frequency oscillator (3) driven by the rectified power supply, a modulator (4) to modulate the output of the high frequency oscillator (3) with a lower frequency alternating signal, a split transformer (6) having physically separable primary and secondary sections, and a demodulator (7). The output of the modulator (4) is coupled to the primary section of the transformer (6), and the s...

The present invention relates to inductive transducers and discloses constructions of such transducers having two concentrically arranged coil and core assemblies wherein the cores are formed of ferromagnetic material and have their ends terminating at the working face of the transducer. In operation, the coils of the transducer may be connected in the opposed arms of a bridge circuit, thereby producing a substantially linear output from the bridge circuit.

An inductive reactor is described comprising an outer core body having a plurality of planar laminations of low magnetic reluctance material and a center leg spanning the hollow interior of the core body. A winding surrounds the center leg. The center leg is comprised of a plurality of parallel elongated sections extending along the length of the outer body and spaced from each other to form parallel nonmagnetic planar gaps. Each section is comprised of a plurality of elongated parallel planar s...

A multi-dimensional position sensor includes at least three curved triangular-shaped sense inductors and a movable shaft that incorporates a conductive material. The distance of the movable shaft from the sense inductors varies as the shaft is moved in a two-dimensional plane. The variation in distance causes a variation in the inductance of each of the triangular-shaped inductors and this variation in inductance may be used to determine the physical position of the movable shaft through means o...

The device comprises an electrically insulating substrate comprising a principal section (3). First and second principal surfaces (1a, 1b) of the principal section (3) support first and second pairs of conductor tracks, respectively. Each pattern comprises a series of coil elements (7), opposite each coil element of the first pattern there being situated a coil element of the second pattern. Each coil element (7) comprises a spiral-shaped conductor track, having an inner end (9) and an outer end...

An inductive device comprises a coil having a winding and extending along and spaced from an axis, and a pair of lead wires extending internally between the ends of the coil. The lead wires extend externally from one of said ends for connection to an electrical circuit, and form start and finish posts at the other of said ends. The respective ends of the winding are wound on and electrically connected to the posts, for which purposes the posts extend axially away from the coil in spaced relation...

A description is given of a method of manufacturing an inductive element for SMD applications. This method comprises the following steps: a) providing a number of predominantly parallel electroconductive wires in the mould of an injection-molding device, b) circumferentially providing a part of the wires with a synthetic resin by injection molding, in such a manner that the ends of the wires remain free, c) providing an envelope of a soft-magnetic material around the circumferentially injection ...

A tubular aluminum member is extruded in a rectangular shape and cut to a given length. The four walls of the tubular member are successively cut by a circular saw to form a portion of the tubular member into a generally spiral shape winding with terminal portions at each end. The member is treated to form an insulating layer on the surfaces of the member including the facing sides of the winding to form an inductive winding for passing current. The winding may be compressed and one set of edges...

A tank for containing a liquid whose bottom portion is partially comprised of a housing for an inductive oscillator having a pair of rotors. The rotors move in opposite directions so as to provide an in-phase reaction normal to the base of the tank to establish cavitation in liquid disposed in the tank.
