Abstract: A double-laterally-wound two-core parallel extrafine coaxial cable includes two cores, having internal conductors whose outer peripheries are covered with insulators and disposed in parallel with each other. A first laterally-wound shield is applied to the outer periphery of the two cores. A second laterally-wound shield is applied to the outer periphery of the first laterally-wound shield in a direction opposite to that of the first laterally-wound shield. A composite tape, which includes a plastic tape having a vapor-deposited metal layer formed on one surface thereof, is wound around the outer periphery of the second laterally-wound shield such that the vapor-deposited metal layer faces the second laterally-wound shield. A jacket covers the outer periphery of the composite tape. Each of the cores has a core outer diameter, and the laterally-wound shields are formed of wire having a wire diameter.

Abstract: A layered stranded conductor has an inner layer section and an outer layer section. The inner layer section has one or more inner section element wires, including a first element wire having an outer diameter of 0.08 mm or less. The outer layer section has one or more outer section element wires, including a second element wire stranded with the first element wire and an outer diameter of 0.08 mm or less. The first element wire has 1.5 times or higher tensile strength than that of a second element wire. Additionally, the one or more inner and the one or more outer section element wires are stranded with each other such that a ratio of a strength of the one or more inner section wires to a strength of the one or more outer section wires is 0.5 to 5.

Abstract: A current-balance switching regulator in which a plurality of switching power source portions are connected in parallel for the purpose of supplying a stabilized output voltage to a load. Each of the switching power source portions includes a switching control portion for controlling a switching element connected to the primary side of a transformer in accordance with the output voltage on the secondary side of the transformer. Current is detected on the primary side of the portions. When a current unbalance is detected, current balance is arranged by adding the amount of unbalance equally among the portions, so concentration of the load to a particular portion can be prevented. As a result of such averaging, the life of each portion can be lengthened. The portions are connected so that one is made a master and the rest are slaves, so the output voltage can be determined by a variable resistor or the like.
