  • Publication number: 20060131061
    Abstract: The invention discloses an electrical signal cable assembly (10, 110, 210, 710) with a plurality of subcable assemblies (20, 120, 220, 320, 620, 720) stacked on each other. Each subcable assembly (20, 120, 220, 320, 630, 720) includes a plurality of coplanar electrical signal conductors (30, 130, 230, 330, 730) encased within an insulator (40a, 40b) and which are separated from each other by a first pitch distance (a), whereby the first pitch distance (a) is between 0.1 mm and 10 mm. The characteristic impedance of the electrical signal cable assembly (10, 110, 210, 710) is in the range of 50 ? to 200 ?. I the preferred embodiment of the electrical signal cable assembly (10, 110, 210, 710) the insulator (40a, 340a, 640a, 740a, 40b, 640b, 740b) comprises an upper insulator (40a, 340a, 640a, 740a) laminated to a lower insulator (40b, 340b, 640b, 740b) and is made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene.

  • Patent number: 5971006
    Abstract: A gasproof inflatable cushion with a hole which perforates it and whose edge is provided with an inner valve part on the inside and with an outer valve part on the outside such that the hole is enclosed and the construction is gasproof. The inner valve part is provided with a through-opening which ends in the cover hole and has such inner dimensions that the cover material can be pulled through the inner valve part and the outer valve part is provided with a through-part which ends in the cover hole at an inner opening and which ends outside at an outer opening. Gas pumped into the outer opening or extracted from the outer opening is pumped into or extracted from the inside of the cover through the through-part of the outer valve part and the through-opening of the inner valve part. The sealed edges of the covers forming the cushion are located on the inside.
