The first area has a first surface being an outside surface of the packaged inductive component. The outer surfaces of the packaged inductive component are free of any electrical potential. The packaged inductive component allows for an improved heat dissipation. In particular, heat generated by power losses in the inductive element dissipates through the first area of the packaging to an outside surface of the packaged inductive component. This leads to an affordable packaged inductive component. The inductive element can be for example an inductor or a transformer.

A method for estimating a property of a signal (1) sensed in an electrical system, comprises the steps of sensing the signal (1) and estimating a fundamental period of a fundamental of the signal (1) by comparing the sensed signal (1) with at least one threshold (2) to detect threshold crossings and estimating the fundamental period from the threshold crossings. The signal property is then estimated from the fundamental period and/or from the sensed signal (1) during an interval of a length of the fundamental period.
An electronic device according to the invention comprises a micro controller and/or an analogue circuitry which performs the method for estimating a property of a signal. Preferably, the micro controller and/or analogue circuitry controls other parts of the electronic device depending on the results obtained by the method for estimating a property of a signal.

A boost PFC converter includes a rectifier, a converter and an output stage comprising an output capacitor where the DC output voltage is provided across the output capacitor. The rectifier includes four rectifying elements connected in a full bridge configuration where the upper two of these four rectifying elements are thyristors and where the lower two are diodes. In that the thyristors are controlled such as to be open for only a part of each half period of the input voltage, the amount of current per half period that is passed to the output capacitor is controllable and can be made very small. Accordingly, the charge current for precharging the output capacitor can be controllably limited such that a bulky precharge resistor is not required anymore to avoid high inrush currents.

Abstract
A cable winding device comprises a case, a reel disc, a cable, and a cable locking structure. The case comprises a first case element and a second case element. The reel disc is disposed between the first case element and the second case element, wherein the reel disc has a leaf spring. The cable is wound on the reel disc. The cable locking structure has a fixing part and at least partially penetrates the first case element and the reel disc. When a pulling operation of the cable causes the leaf spring to be sustained against the fixing part, a desired length of the cable is pulled out from the case and locked. When the cable locking structure is pressed and the fixing part is detached from the leaf spring, the cable pulled outside the case is rewound on the reel disc.

Abstract
A power module includes a power conversion circuit, a fan, a controlling unit, a capacitor, a current-adjusting element and a soft start controlling unit. The power conversion circuit is used for outputting a DC voltage. The fan is connected with the power conversion circuit. The controlling unit is used for issuing a control signal to the fan, thereby controlling operation of the fan. The capacitor is connected with the fan in parallel. The current-adjusting element is connected with the capacitor in series for adjusting the magnitude of current flowing through the capacitor. The soft start controlling unit is connected with the current-adjusting element. When the power module is connected with a connector of a power supply system, the soft start controlling unit controls the magnitude of current flowing through the current-adjusting element to be gradually increased, so that the magnitude of current flowing through the capacitor is gradually increased.

Abstract
An inductive element comprises at least two core-parts including a magnetically permeable material and at least one winding of an electrical conductor which can be a foil winding, a stranded wire (litz) winding or a conventional wire winding. Each core-part has an elongated center piece with an outer winding surface. At each of its longitudinal ends, the center piece has a contact element with a lateral contact surface. The winding is wound directly on the core-parts without a bobbin or the-like. The core-parts of the inductive element are arranged with their longitudinal axes essentially in parallel in a manner that the lateral contact surfaces of each contact element abut on a lateral contact surface of another core-part. Such an inductive element can be manufactured by co-axially arranging the core-parts and using them as a roll-shaft. After the windings have been applied to the core-parts, they can be rearranged, i.e. “flipped over,” in a stack-like arrangement in order to form an inductive element.

Abstract
a) for switching a connection from the respective inverter module (11, 12, 13) to said load. This architecture allows for directly connecting the critical load to the inverter group (10), thereby eliminating the susceptibility for single point failures at a common static switch for all inverter modules. Redundancy of the whole system may be easily established or increased by providing additional inverter modules. The proposed architecture guarantees a fail safe maintenance procedure as there is no manual bypass needed for maintenance of the static switch.
