  • Patent number: 12569944
    Abstract: Welding plates and a welding system are provided. A welding plate comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a plurality of recesses. Each recess comprises an elastomer configured to compress under a force and a tip. A proximal end of the tip is in contact with the elastomer. The elastomer has a durometer rating less than a predetermined threshold. The second portion may be mounted to the first portion. The second portion has a plurality of first openings. Each first opening corresponds to a recess. A respective tip extends through a respective first opening. Each tip is slidably mounted within the welding plate. Each tip has a central opening forming a welding channel.

  • Publication number: 20240312671
    Abstract: A polyphase cable includes a first conductor, a first shield including conductive material coaxially around the first conductor, and a first insulating material between and separating the first conductor and the first shield. The polyphase cable further includes a second conductor, a second shield including conductive material coaxially around the second conductor, and a second insulating material between and separating the second conductor and the second shield. In an example, the first shield is in physical contact, and in electrical contact, with the second shield. In an example, the polyphase cable is configured to conduct polyphase Alternating Current (AC) having a frequency of at least 100 Hertz (Hz) and/or at most 10,000 Hz. In an example, one or both of a first end and a second end of one or both of the first shield and the second shield are configured to be grounded.
