Abstract
Abstract An information transmitting system by means of a coded magnetic signal permitting adjusting the options in a fuze. A primary winding magnetically induces a coded current in a secondary winding located within a housing. A conductive short-circuit ring is located between both windings for concentrating the magnetic flux within the receiving winding, and thus reducing the magnetic losses.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
Means for transmitting information by magnetic induction comprising at least two windings, each of toric shape and of different diameters, a first one of said windings being capable of producing an alternating magnetic field and a second one of picking up said field, the first winding adapted to be placed in a position surrounding the second winding and co-planer therewith, each winding disposed in a housing of non-magnetic non-conductive material, the two windings being separable from one another; wherein said means includes a ring of non ferro-magnetic metal disposed substantially coaxially between the two windings when the first winding is in said position surrounding the second winding, said ring being embedded in one of said housings, said ring providing a short circuit loop and producing a secondary magnetic field which causes a deflection of the magnetic lines of the primary field toward the axis of the ring to produce a concentration of the magnetic field in the inner portion of the second winding, thereby reducing magnetic losses.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
167 words
Means for transmitting information by magnetic induction comprising at least two windings, each of toric shape and of different diameters, a first one of said windings being capable of producing an alternating magnetic field and a second one of picking up said field, the first winding adapted to be placed in a position surrounding the second winding and co-planer therewith, each winding disposed in a housing of non-magnetic non-conductive material, the two windings being separable from one another; wherein said means includes a ring of non ferro-magnetic metal disposed substantially coaxially between the two windings when the first winding is in said position surrounding the second winding, said ring being embedded in one of said housings, said ring providing a short circuit loop and producing a secondary magnetic field which causes a deflection of the magnetic lines of the primary field toward the axis of the ring to produce a concentration of the magnetic field in the inner portion of the second winding, thereby reducing magnetic losses.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
Means according to claim 1, wherein each housing comprises a non ferro-magnetic metallic ring, each ring being arranged so that the two rings are located between the two windings when the first winding is in said position surrounding the second winding.
