Inventor: ITO SHINICHIRO C O TDK CORPORA
IPC: H01F38/02
Filed: 1991-02-20
Abstract: The present invention provides a coil device including magnetic cores having gaps at positions of at least opposing to each other in a magnetic path to be formed and a coil wound to include at least one of said gaps and its improvement consists in the fact that a shape of at least one of the opposing magnetic cores forming ;the gaps around which said coil is wound is made as a curve of logarithmic function from its base end to its extreme end and its most extreme end is provided with a gap adjusting flat surface. 
     With such an arrangement as above, the present invention provides a coil device capable of reducing a leakage magnetic flux generated around the gaps, preventing an abnormal generation of heat of the coil and further preventing a bad influence of noise against a peripheral apparatus.

Abstract: A method and device for controlling gas discharge lamps having electronic ballasts uses a bistable changeover switching system in the circuit such that the bistable changeover switching system moves into a first switching state when the lamp is switched on and moves into a second switching state in the event of a short interruption in the circuit for supplying power to the lamp. In this way, it is possible to reduce the brightness of the lamp from a first brightness level to a second, lower brightness level. Such a "dimmer" is used in fluorescent lamps. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An instrument for performing a percutaneous laparoscopic cholecystectomy includes a generally rigid, tubular body 12 with a proximal end, a distal end and a lumen extending between these two ends and with a pair of bipolar electrodes 62, 64 projecting from the distal end of the tubular body and a handle member 36 affixed to its proximal end. The outside diameter of the tubular body is sufficiently small that it can readily pass through a cannula inserted through a puncture made through the abdominal wall. A pair of conductors, 42, 44 connected at one end to the bipolar electrodes and at their other end to a source of radio frequency voltage, extend through the tube's lumen and a handle. Moreover, a fluid port 50, 52 may be formed through the handle so as to be in fluid communication with the lumen of the tube whereby fluids may be perfused through the instrument during its use or a suction may be applied to the proximal port for aspirating the surgical site. In one embodiment of the invention, the bipolar electrodes may be formed as conductive traces 32 extending along the peripheral edges of a thin ceramic blade 30. In an alternative arrangement, the bipolar electrodes 62, 64 comprise first and second closely spaced J-shaped conductive hook members.

Abstract: Un procédé et des dispositifs de mesure opto-électrique servant à déterminer les dimenions de la section transversale d'objets notamment allongés par rapport à au moins une ligne droite tracée à la périphérie de ladite section transversale, touchant celle-ci en au moins deux points. Un rayon lumineux parallèlement déplacé à l'intérieur d'un champ de mesure traverse en des points mesurables du champ de mesure les limites d'une ombre projetée par l'objet situé dans le champ de mesure. Ce même rayon lumineux, après déviation, ou un autre rayon lumineux, éclaire ponctuellement la surface de l'objet, sous un angle prédéterminé. L'écartement entre l'axe du rayon lumineux à l'endroit d'une limite déterminée de l'ombre et le point éclairé est déterminé par reproduction de celui-ci sous un angle différent de l'angle d'éclairage et par évaluation de la position de l'image reproduite selon les règles de triangulation.
