Abstract: An end of a conductor having a stranded conductor layer wound around a tension member made of resin-reinforced carbon fiber is cut back to expose the end of the tension member. The exposed end of the tension member is inserted into a metal fitting having multiple longitudinal slits. A metal sleeve is then fit over the metal fitting and also partially over the stranded conductor layer before compress-fitted into place. Accordingly, it is possible to attach, with good workability and sufficient tensile strength, a conductor that has a tension member made of resin-reinforced carbon fiber.

Abstract: An anticorrosive structure for leads of packaged circuit modules wherein each of the leads covered with an anticorrosive coat has a tapered end so that one edge of the tapered end projects beyond another edge of the tapered end, the one edge and the another edge are connected with a single flat inclined surface and the single flat inclined surface is entirely covered with the anticorrosive coating.

Abstract: A method of forming a cable seal which includes positioning a sealing material around the cable, positioning a housing around the sealing material, and subsequently positioning at the housing a restricting element that can restrict movement of the sealing material out of an outlet of the housing. The restricting element is a snap or interference fit to the housing and extends to the outlet.

Abstract: A transmission cable system that incorporates cooling channels that encircles electrical conductors with coolant. The transmission cable system also provides for breach or leak detection. More specifically, the transmission cable system maybe used with an inductive charging system that transfers electric power from a power source to batteries of an electric vehicle. The cable system includes a cooling system for storing, cooling, and pumping coolant, and a pressure sensitive switch for determining the pressure in the cooling system and for providing an output signal indicative of a drop in sensed pressure. A controller is coupled to the pressure sensitive switch that is responsive to the output signal from the switch for shutting down the inductive charging system in the event of a drop in sensed pressure. The transmission cable is electrically coupled between the power source and the electric vehicle for coupling electrical power to the batteries.
