ISOLATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18114085 titled 'ISOLATOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an isolator with coils and a magnetic member for overlapping the coils.

  • The isolator includes a first coil and a second coil separated in a first direction.
  • A magnetic member overlaps the coils in the first direction.
  • An insulating member covers the isolator module and the magnetic member.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Electrical isolation in power electronics
  • Signal isolation in communication systems

Problems Solved

This technology helps in:

  • Preventing interference between circuits
  • Enhancing safety by isolating high voltage components

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Improved performance of electronic systems
  • Increased reliability and longevity of components

Potential Commercial Applications

The isolator technology could be used in:

  • Industrial automation systems
  • Medical devices for patient safety

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional isolators using only coils without a magnetic member.

Unanswered Questions

How does the magnetic member affect the efficiency of the isolator?

The abstract does not provide information on how the magnetic member impacts the overall efficiency of the isolator.

Are there any specific materials recommended for the magnetic member?

The abstract does not mention any specific materials to be used for the magnetic member.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, an isolator includes: an isolator module including a first coil and a second coil that are separated with respect to a first direction and face each other; a magnetic member provided on the isolator module in such a manner that the magnetic member overlaps the first coil and the second coil when viewed in the first direction; and an insulating member covering the isolator module and the magnetic member.
