Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 52 words
A toroidal magnetic device comprising inner and outer concentric rings having interfaced peripheral portions diffusion bonded to one another, one of the rings being a radially polarized permanent magnet made of compacted powder material and the other ring being a support annulus made of soft magnetic material having relatively low magnetic retentivity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 52 words
A toroidal magnetic device comprising inner and outer concentric rings having interfaced peripheral portions diffusion bonded to one another, one of the rings being a radially polarized permanent magnet made of compacted powder material and the other ring being a support annulus made of soft magnetic material having relatively low magnetic retentivity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 63 words
A toroidal magnetic device comprising inner and outer concentric rings having interfaced peripheral portions diffusion bonded to one another, one of the rings being a support annulus made of soft magnetic material and the other ring being a compacted powder permanent magnet having a circumferential magnetic pole adjacent one periphery of the device and a continuous opposite magnetic pole adjacent the support annulus.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 63 words
A toroidal magnetic device comprising inner and outer concentric rings having interfaced peripheral portions diffusion bonded to one another, one of the rings being a support annulus made of soft magnetic material and the other ring being a compacted powder permanent magnet having a circumferential magnetic pole adjacent one periphery of the device and a continuous opposite magnetic pole adjacent the support annulus.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 48 words
A toroidal magnetic device as set forth in claim 2 wherein the inner ring comprises the support annulus and the outer ring comprises the permanent magnet having a circumferential magnetic pole adjAcent the outer periphery of the device and a continuous opposite magnetic pole adjacent the support annulus.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 48 words
A toroidal magnetic device as set forth in claim 2 wherein the outer ring comprises the support annulus and the inner ring comprises the permanent magnet having a circumferential magnetic pole adjacent the inner periphery of the device and a continuous opposite magnetic pole adjacent the support annulus.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 78 words
A toroidal magnetic device comprising inner and outer concentric rings having interfaced peripheral portions diffusion bonded to one another, one of the rings being a support annulus made of soft magnetic material and the other ring being a compacted powder permanent magnet having adjacent one periphery of the device a circular array of alternate north and south poles, each of which is magnetically associated with a respective opposite magnetic pole radially located therefrom and adjacent the support annulus.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 78 words
A toroidal magnetic device comprising inner and outer concentric rings having interfaced peripheral portions diffusion bonded to one another, one of the rings being a support annulus made of soft magnetic material and the other ring being a compacted powder permanent magnet having adjacent one periphery of the device a circular array of alternate north and south poles, each of which is magnetically associated with a respective opposite magnetic pole radially located therefrom and adjacent the support annulus.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 59 words
A toroidal magnetic device as set forth in claim 5 wherein the inner ring comprises the support annulus and the outer ring comprises the permanent magnet having adjacent the outer periphery of the device a circular array of alternate north and south magnetic poles and adjacent the support annulus a similar circular array of south and noth magnetic poles.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 60 words
A toroidal magnetic device as set forth in claim 5 wherein the outer ring comprises the support annulus and the inner ring comprises the permanent magnet having adjacent the inner periphery of the device a circular array of alternate north and south magnetic poles and adjacent the support annulus a similar circular array of alternate south and north magnetic poles.
