Abstract: A cable sleeve seal including a seamed pipe section and end-face seal members, with a sealing insert in sealing regions between the end face seal members and an inside of the pipe section and in a longitudinal seam of the pipe section, whereby the sealing insert is fixedly arranged in the sealing regions and the longitudinal seam. Moreover, the sealing insert merges from the sealing regions at the end face seal members into the longitudinal seam without interruption.

Abstract: A sleeve head for a cable sleeve having a seal insert of elastic material and having pressure-producing elements, preferably screws for compressing the seal insert. The cable sleeve is conically expanded in the introduction region into which an initially adapted, conical seal insert is introduced. After introduction of the cables, pressure is generated on the seal insert in axial direction with the pressure-producing elements. As a consequence of the conical fashioning at the circumference of the cable sleeve, a radial compression of the elastic material of the seal insert ensues, and a sealing ensues as a result thereof. Cable clamp devices aligned with the cable introduction openings are provided in the inside of the cable sleeve.

The layers are intimately associated with each other with an adherence greater than or equal to 5 N.cm.sup.-1.

The matching of introduction openings in the end-face seal members to the diameters of the cables to be introduced ensues with the assistance of seal member inserts that are fit into the introduction openings and which provide cable openings for close fitting to the cable introduced therein. Sealing in parting planes is undertaken with appropriate, known sealants.

Respective portions of the wiring pattern are connected to the IC chip and the lead frame by respective bonding wires. The substrate includes at least one green tape with at least part of the wiring pattern thereon, and formed by printing a metal paste on the green tape and then firing it.

Abstract: A shielded cable connecting terminal includes a conductor, a cable sheath insulating the conductor, and a conductive braid wound around the cable sheath. The terminal further comprises: a terminal body having an electrically connecting portion connectable to a mating terminal at one end and a cylindrical portion connectable to the end of the shielded cable at the other end; and a conductive pipe for receiving the conductor of the shielded cable therein and fitting into the cylindrical portion. A collar is disposed on the conductive pipe into which the shielded cable is inserted and an insulating portion is formed on the edge surface of the collar. As a result, short-circuiting caused by possible contact between fraying strands of the braid of the shielded cable and the terminal is avoided. Further, the use of the inexpensive conductive pipe lowers the overall cost of the terminal.

Abstract: An accelerometer (10) having a sensing mass (36) which is displaced in response to acceleration so as to alter the amount of light coupled between a pair of optical fibers (42, 44). An optical coupling is responsive to displacement of the sensing mass indicative of a vehicle crash situation. In operation, the sensing mass (36) interrupts the transmission of light through the output optical fiber (44) as the amount of sensing mass displacement reaches proximate a second position. The accelerometer further provides magnetic damping and testing/recalibration capabilities, and the ability to couple a plurality of accelerometers together in either a daisy chain configuration, or a star configuration.

Abstract: Concentric Compressed Unilay Stranded Conductors are formed of certain combinations of compressed wires, such as 1+7+12, 1+6+11 or 1+7+12+17, which have nominally equal diameters. The combinations of conductors or wires are selected so that the number of wires in any two adjacent layers, including a central layer, are not divisible by a common number with the exception of the integer one. The stranded conductors are optionally formed to have sectored cross-sectional configurations.
