Appl. No.:

10/126168

Inventors:

Ricky Black - Huntsville AL, US

Assignee:

Sanmina-SCI Corporation - Huntsville AL

International Classification:

H01F027/28

US Classification:

336/182000

Abstract:

A current mode coupler includes a unitary casing, a stub cable connector, a circuit board, a magnetic structure, a wire core holder, an enclosing lid and an E-core situated in a cavity in the unitary casing and an I-core affixed to the enclosing lid. When the enclosing lid is in a closed position, the E-core and the I-core contact, forming a transformer. When electrical current is present in a data bus that is situated within the E-core/I-core arrangement, the coupler magnetically couples the current mode doublets on the data bus to the circuitry enclosed in the unitary casing. The current mode doublets sensed on the data bus is then converted to voltage mode doublets and transmitted to the stub interface. The current mode coupler also receives voltage mode doublets through the stub interface, converts the voltage mode doublets to current mode doublets, and transmits the current mode doublets via the E-core/I-core arrangement.

Abstract:

A system, method, and computer program for selecting geometries from a solid model that is manipulated in a computer having software instructions, comprising: a computer system, wherein the computer system includes a memory, a processor, a user input device, and a display device; a computer generated geometric model stored in the memory in the memory of the computer system; and wherein the computer system selects a two-dimensional sketch geometry from a two-dimensional sketch to form a three-dimensional model using a feature command; identifies a plurality of elements on the two-dimensional sketch geometry that correspond to the three-dimensional model; forms a counterpart element on the three-dimensional model that is one of a dimension and a constraint from the identified plurality of elements; and provides the capability to modify the three-dimensional model by manipulating the counterpart element; and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.
