  • Patent number: 7211732
    Abstract: A cable connecting structure, which includes a cable accommodating box comprising: a box main body in which a connected portion of two cables is accommodated; a first flange portion which is attached to one end of said box main body, and includes a first cable port through which one of said two cables is received; and a second flange portion which is attached to other end of said box main body, and includes a second cable port through which other of said two cables is received, and a tube portion for retrieving a grounding cable, a main portion of which protrudes inward said box main body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6979707
    Abstract: A high-permittivity rubber compound (MX) to be over 10, 15, or 20 in relative permittivity is produced by filling, to 100 weight parts of base material (M10), 300 or more, 400 or more, or 500 or more weight parts of barium titanate family material as powder (M11) over 2000 in relative permittivity at temperatures from room temperature to 90° C. A high-permittivity rubber compound (M30, M60) crosslinked by peroxide is heat-treated (S21, S31) to remove decomposition residue of the peroxide, and powder (BT4) of barium titanate family material of industrial grade is washed (S09) by de-ionized water (Mc) to remove ionic impurities, suppressing degradation of insulating characteristics.

  • Patent number: 6787703
    Abstract: A cylindrical pre-molded rubber insulation tube made by a plurality of layers using a rubber material as a base material has in a central part and at both ends of an inner periphery thereof a sheet-shaped electrode layer formed at an insde thereof with a semi-conductive rubber layer and at an outside thereof with a high-permittivity rubber layer, as an inner electrode layer configured with the semi-condutctive rubber layer to be thin and sheet-shaped and the high-permittivity rubber layer covering a vicinity of a respective distal end of the semi-conductive rubber layer, and the distal end of the semi-conductive rubber layer is rounded by a radius of curvature substantially equal to half the thickness.
