  • Electrical wire and method of fabricating the electrical wire
    Patent number: 8481853
    Abstract: An electrical wire includes a plurality of first conductors. The plurality of first conductors includes at least one electrifiable conductor for delivering electrical power and at least one signal conductor for delivering a communications signal. Second and third conductors are respectively formed on opposing sides of the plurality of first conductors, such that each of the plurality of first conductors is at least substantially entrapped by the second and third conductors. A distance between the at least one electrifiable conductor and each of the second and third conductors is no greater than approximately 0.030 inches.

  • Flat wire extension cords and extension cord devices
    Patent number: 8237051
    Abstract: A flat wire extension cord includes an elongated cord, a first connected attached to a first end of the elongated cord, and a second connected attached to an opposite end of the elongated cord. The elongated cord includes at least one electrifiable conductor for delivering electrical power, first and second insulating layers formed on opposing sides of the at least one electrifiable conductor, and first and second return conductors formed on the first and second insulating layers, respectively, such that said at least one electrifiable conductor is at least substantially entrapped by said first and second return conductors. The first connector is operable to connect the conductors of the elongated cord to a line side input, and the second connector is operable to connect the conductors of the elongated cord to a load.
