Abstract: A multi-phase inductor includes a core made of a magnetic material; at least two phase windings surrounding the core for inducing a magnetic field in the core, such that a common mode inductance (LCM) is provided for the at least two phase windings; and an adjustment member made of a magnetic material, which adjustment member has at least two legs, which are interconnected with each other at an inner end and which are touching the core at an outer end to provide a differential mode inductance (LDM) for the at least two phase windings; wherein the outer end of each leg of the adjustment member overlays an axial side of the core and/or each leg of the adjustment member has a varying thickness between the inner end and the outer end to adjust the differential mode inductance (LDM).

Abstract: This invention relates to a cooling apparatus comprising a base plate, an evaporator and a condenser. In order to obtain a simple and efficient cooling apparatus the evaporator is a porous aluminum evaporator having a capillary structure with pores and a plurality of larger sized evaporator channels extending through the evaporator between a second end and the first end of the evaporator. A compensation chamber extending along a second surface of the evaporator receives first fluid from the condenser such that pores opening up into the second surface of the evaporator are provided with first fluid.
