An inductor includes a body including a support member containing a through-hole, a coil disposed on the support member, and a magnetic material sealing the support member and the coil, and an external electrode disposed on an external surface of the body. The coil includes an upper coil and a lower coil disposed on an upper surface and a lower surface of the support member, respectively, and the upper coil and the lower coil are connected to each other by a connection pattern. The connection pattern surrounds at least portions of the upper coil and the lower coil and contacts a wall surface of the through-hole.

An image forming apparatus capable of providing a location-based service and a location information measuring apparatus are provided. The image forming apparatus includes a memory to store location information of the image forming apparatus, the location information measuring apparatus to measure the location information of the image forming apparatus based on a distance from another apparatus outside the location information measuring apparatus, and a controller to determine whether to update the location information of the image forming apparatus based on the location information stored in the memory and the measured location information, and manage the location information of the image forming apparatus.

A coil component includes a body portion including a magnetic material, and a coil portion disposed in the body part. The coil portion includes a first coil pattern layer having a planar spiral pattern, an insulating layer formed of an insulating resin embedding at least a portion of the first coil pattern layer, and a second coil pattern layer disposed on the insulating layer and having a planar spiral pattern. The insulating layer includes a core material disposed between the first and second coil pattern layers, and a thickness of a lower region of the insulating layer disposed below the core material is greater than a thickness of an upper region of the insulating layer disposed above the core material.

Coil component and method for manufacturing the same

A coil component includes a body having a coil part disposed in the body. The coil part may include: a first coil pattern formed on one surface of the insulating layer; and a second coil pattern including an external pattern formed on the other surface of the insulating layer. The second coil pattern may further include an embedded pattern embedded in the insulating layer and the external pattern may be disposed on the embedded pattern. The coil component can have improved low direct current resistance characteristics and inductance.
