  • Publication number: 20230274854
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for elastomeric and flexible cables. In one embodiment, the cables are configured with elastomeric cabling and circuitry. For example, a flexible circuit line (or lines) may be wrapped about an extruded elastomeric substrate (e.g., a polymer). Integrated circuits (e.g., sensors, accelerometers, light emitting diodes, controllers, microprocessors, etc.) may be disposed at various points along the circuit line(s). The cable may then be wrapped with a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape than can be heated to shrink about the cable for protection of the underlying circuitry. Then, the cable may be surrounded with a layer of polymer and extruded to form an elastomeric and flexible cable.

  • Patent number: 10090587
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide for elastomeric and flexible cables. One cable includes a first insulator extruded as a tube. The cable also includes an elastomeric conductor comprising conductive particles embedded in a polymer. The elastomeric conductor is extruded with the elastomeric insulator through a conduit of the tube. Other cables include flexible wires extruded with elastomeric tubes. In some embodiments, the cables are configured with stay cords that limit a length of stretching in the cable.

  • Publication number: 20180096756
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a cable includes a conductive core and a dielectric material surrounding the conductive core along a length of the cable. The cable also includes a first shielding comprising braided tinned copper and a second shielding comprising aramid fibers having nickel physical vapor deposited thereon. The aramid fibers are braided about the first shielding to surround a majority of the first shielding along the length of the cable.
