Abstract: Continuously transposed conductor (“CTC”) cables are described. A CTC cable may include a plurality of electrically insulated strands connected in parallel at their ends. Additionally, each strand may include one or more conductors and an extruded insulation layer formed at least partially around the one or more conductors.

Abstract: A system of rollers can transfer fluid from a reservoir to an electrically conductive wire feeding past the reservoir. The system can include a first cylinder that contacts the reservoir and rotates to pick up fluid from the reservoir. A second cylinder can contact the first cylinder and rotate. Fluid can transfer between the first cylinder and the second cylinder. The second cylinder can contact the feeding wire such that the second cylinder applies the fluid to the wire as the wire feeds past the second cylinder. Accordingly, two rotating cylinders can cooperatively transfer fluid from the reservoir to the moving wire.

Abstract: A diesel fuel formulation is disclosed containing a water-in-fuel emulsion of (a) a Fischer-Tropsch derived gas oil, optionally in combination with conventional diesel, (b) a fatty acid alkyl ester in an amount of at least 1% v/v and (c) water. An emulsifier may be present. Formulations have useful emissions properties and retain performance characteristics in spite of the presence of water. Methods of preparing the formulations and their uses are also described.
