  • Patent number: 9731603
    Abstract: An apparatus for transferring electrical current between a first component and a second component includes at least one transfer conductor directing electrical current between the first and second components including a plurality of overlapping conducting layers each arranged in parallel with the directed electrical current and a plurality of insulation layers each disposed between alternating ones of the conducting layers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 19, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 15, 2017
    Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC
    Inventors: Mark A. Wisnewski, David J. Trzcinski, William C. Goodwin
  • Patent number: 8624427
    Abstract: Vehicular electrical systems are provided. The vehicular electrical systems include a source device including an electrical component, a load device, and a cable assembly interconnecting the source device and the load device. The cable assembly includes a conductive core electrically interconnecting the electrical component and the load device, a conductive shield surrounding and being electrically insulated from the conductive core, the conductive shield having a first portion and a second portion, and an insulating body positioned between the first and second portions of the conductive shield such that the first and second portions of the conductive shield are electrically separated.

  • Patent number: 7280020
    Abstract: A magnetic inertial force generator includes a magnetic shell internally defining an armature chamber. At least two circumferential electric coils are spaced longitudinally within the chamber and mounted on a cylindrical inner surface of the outer shell. An armature centered by springs is reciprocably supported in the chamber and includes at least two axially spaced radially magnetized permanent magnets mounted on a longitudinally extending magnetic steel tube. The magnets extend in general alignment with the coils. Controlled energizing of the coils reciprocates the armature axially relative to the shell to develop an opposite inertia force on the shell for application to a connected body. The use of multiple radially magnetized magnets provides for improved performance and/or reduced cost.
