Application No. 08/569,529
Still another object of this invention is to
provide a cost effective coil which still meets the
foregoing objects.
Still another object of this invention is to
provide a coil which allows a choice of design such
as the change of pitch to vary the induced magnetic
field strength in different areas of the coil and to
change the distributed capacitor characteristics of
the coil.
Another advantage will be apparent to those
skilled in the art on a reading of the following
description of the invention in that this coil, and
the method of making same, may be utilized where the
core or sub-assembly about which the coil is to be
placed will not permit the utilization of a prewound
or preformed coil. The present invention overcomes
this deficiency by being able to be formed in place
over the coil or subassembly.
Accordingly, still another object of this
invention is to provide a coil and the method of
making same where the coil may be formed in place
over the core or sub-assembly thereby overcoming a
deficiency of preformed coils. Col. 1, l. 42 - col.

We are persuaded that Layton’s teachings of providing a
smaller cross-sectional area, bringing a coil closer to an
item, providing cost effectiveness, allowing a choice of
design, and being able to be formed in place over a coil or
subassembly would have suggested the desirability, and thus
the obviousness, of combining Layton’s teachings with those of
Sato.
