| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7304334 | Silicon carbide bipolar junction transistors having epitaxial base regions and multilayer emitters and methods of fabricating the same Bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are provided including silicon carbide (SiC) substrates. An epitaxial SiC base region is provided on the SiC substrate. The epitaxial SiC base region has a first conductivity type. An epitaxial SiC emitter region is also provided ... | 12/04/2007 |
| 7259651 | Energy storage coil An energy storage coil comprises a core having an electrical conductor wound thereabout in a plurality of turns. The turns define a main zone and at least one first auxiliary zone extending along the core. The main zone has a first end and a second end. The turns in... | 08/21/2007 |
| 7242275 | Variable inductor A variable inductor which avoids electrical breakdown of the insulation in the control windings when used in high power applications includes a core formed of a permeable magnetic material, the core having three legs, including a center leg and two outer legs. A mai... | 07/10/2007 |
| 7221235 | Variable reluctance ferrite core A device, system, and method for suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI). In one embodiment, an EMI suppression device includes a compound ferrite core having an inner ferrite core and an outer ferrite core. The inner core includes a through hole in which a c... | 05/22/2007 |
| 6563412 | Rotary variable differential transformer A rotary variable differential transformer apparatus for determining angular position of a rotor includes a stator support structure, a first pair of magnetically permeable stator elements and a second pair of magnetically permeable stator elements.
