Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An inductor for induction thermography may be designed, in at least one section, as a rectangularly wound conductor that includes a closed conductor loop which, except for a conductor forming the conductor loop, is free from electrical components.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An inductor for induction thermography, comprising: a rectangularly wound conductor comprising: a closed conductor loop, wherein the closed conductor loop is free of electrical components except for a conductor that forms the closed conductor loop. 2 . The inductor of claim 1 , wherein the closed conductor loop comprises two elongated elementary conductors arranged in parallel and separated from each other. 3 . The inductor of claim 2 , wherein the elementary conductors form a side of the rectangle formed by the conductor. 4 . The inductor of claim 3 , wherein the side formed by the elementary conductors is a longitudinal side of a rectangularly wound conductor. 5 . The inductor of claim 1 , wherein the individual elementary conductors of the closed conductor loop are wound in a shape of elliptical segments. 6 . The inductor of claim 1 , wherein the closed conductor loop is rectangularly wound. 7 . The inductor of claim 1 , comprising two electrical terminals. 8 . A method for using an inductor for induction thermography, comprising: flowing an alternating current along a conductor that is wound rectangularly at least in a subregion, and using a conductor loop to divide the alternating current flowing along the conductor into two elementary alternating currents flowing in parallel. 9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a frequency of the alternating current lies in a frequency range of 100 kHz to 500 kHz. 10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein a current strength of the alternating current is at least 1000 A.
