Abstract: A twisted pair data cable has an internal construction that introduces an additional lay length design variable and thus permits a greater range of lay scheme options. A four-pair data cable can comprise four twisted pairs and can be fabricated such that the twisted pairs are segregated into two groups that each comprise two twisted pairs. In addition to the individual conductor pair twists, each of the two groups of two twisted pairs can be twisted independently of one another, improving the cable's ability to reject both internal and alien crosstalk interference. The smaller circumferential distance of each group also allows each group to have a smaller minimum overall lay if desired, allowing for a greater range of design options when selecting a combination of individual pair and overall lay lengths that satisfy electrical specification requirements in terms of interference rejection, insertion loss, and propagation delay.

Abstract: An adaptable child carrier system includes a harness having a pair of shoulder straps extendable over the wearer's shoulders and a lower panel extendable over a portion of the wearer's back. A primary support is selectively attachable to the harness. A pair of connecting straps extend between the primary support and the shoulder straps. The child carrier system is selectively transitionable between a first and second wearing modes without re-orientation, removal, reversal or modification of the harness part. In the first wearing mode, the primary support is attached to the pair of shoulder straps such that the lower panel and the primary support are separated from each other so as to reside on opposed sides of the wearer's torso when worn by the wearer. In the second wearing mode, the primary support is attached to the lower panel to define a cavity to receive the child for carrying the child adjacent the wearer's back.
