Abstract: The present invention provides magnetic structure (10), particularly an
isolation transformer, which includes a shield to prevent radiation of electromagnetic
interference ("EMI"). The magnetic structure includes a support structure, or bobbin
(12), on which are mounted windings (18) formed from electrical conductors. The
windings are electrically connected to termination points (20), which provide the
electrical interconnections for the magnetic structure. A magnetic core (14) can be
included in the support structure to provide optimal magnetic properties to the device.
An EMI shield (28) formed from a metallic foil such as copper is wrapped around the
winding to prevent the radiation of EMI. The EMI shield is connected to a shield pin
(22) in the support structure by a conductive strap (24) such that the shield pin is
electrically connectable to a fixed potential through a safety rated capacitor to provide a
low impedance path for currents induced in the EMI shield. The magnetic structure is
particularly useful as an isolation transformer in an isolated power supply.

IPC: C10J3/48
Filed: 2000-01-25
Abstract: By using a gasification and melting furnace for
wastes having a vertically movable furnace center lance
disposed along the axis of the furnace and adapted to blow
off a combustion sustaining gas downward into the furnace,
one or more stages of upper tuyeres disposed so that the
angle at which the combustion sustaining gas is blown off
into the furnace is displaced from the furnace axis
direction, and one or more stages of lower tuyeres
projected into the furnace so as to blow off a combustion
sustaining gas or both combustion sustaining gas and fuel
toward the furnace axis, it is possible to prevent the
formation of a low temperature region in the furnace and
concentrate a fire spot for the combustion of wastes. As a
result, molten slag and various metals, as well as an
energy gas, which are high in added value, can be recovered
stably. 
     Further, if the ratio of the diameter, df, of a fire
spot formed by the furnace center lance to the inside
diameter, D, of the furnace is controlled to df/D≦0.6 by
vertical movements of the furnace center lance, it becomes
possible to further concentrate the fire spot which is for
the combustion of wastes. As a result, molten slag and
various metals, as well as an energy gas, which are high in
added value, can be recovered in a still more stable manner.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a dielectric ceramic
composition comprising at least a main component of
BaTiO 3 , a second subcomponent as represented by (Ba,
Ca) x SiO 2+x  (where, x = 0.8 to 1.2), and other
subcomponents. The main component and at least part of
the subcomponents except the second subcomponent are
mixed to prepare a pre-calcination powder and the pre-calcination
powder is calcined to prepare a calcined
powder. The second subcomponent is at least mixed in
the calcined powder to obtain a dielectric ceramic
composition having a ratio of each subcomponent to the
main component of BaTiO 3  of a predetermined molar
ratio. It is therefore possible to obtain an
electronic device containing a dielectric layer such
as a multi-layer ceramic capacitor able to satisfy
both of the capacity-temperature characteristics of
the X7R characteristic (EIA standard) and the B
characteristic (EIAJ standard), even when the
dielectric layer is a superthin one of not more than 4
µm and having a small change in the capacity under a
DC electric field along with time and further having a
long accelerated lifetime of the insulation resistance
and a small drop in capacity under a DC bias.
