  • Patent number: 10199138
    Abstract: Insulated winding wires and associated methods for forming winding wires are described. A winding wire may include a conductor and insulation formed around the conductor. The insulation may provide a partial discharge inception voltage greater than approximately 1,000 volts and a dielectric strength greater than approximately 10,000 volts. Additionally, the insulation may be capable of withstanding a continuous operating temperature of approximately 220° C. without degradation. The insulation may include at least one base layer formed around an outer periphery of the conductor, and an extruded thermoplastic layer formed around the base layer. The extruded layer may include at least one of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or polyaryletherketone (PAEK).

  • Patent number: 9543058
    Abstract: An insulated winding wire may include a conductor and insulation formed around the conductor. The insulation may include a base insulation layer formed around the conductor and having a first dielectric constant (?1). The insulation may further include an extruded thermoplastic layer formed around the base insulation layer and having a second dielectric constant (?2). The extruded thermoplastic layer may include (i) at least one polymer comprising a ketone group and (ii) at least one fluoropolymer. A ratio of the dielectric constant (?2) of the extruded thermoplastic layer to the dielectric constant (?1) of the base layer at 250° C. may be less than or equal to approximately 1.0.

  • Publication number: 20160233003
    Abstract: Insulated winding wires and dissociated methods for forming winding wires are described. A winding wire may include a conductor and insulation formed around the conductor. The insulation may provide a partial discharge inception voltage greater than approximately 1,000 volts and a dielectric strength greater than approximately 10,000 volts. Additionally, the insulation may be capable of withstanding a continuous operating temperature of approximately 220° C. without degradation. The insulation may include at least one base layer formed around an outer periphery of the conductor, and an extruded thermoplastic layer formed around the base layer. The extruded layer may include at least one of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or polyaryletherketone (PAEK.).

  • Patent number: 5499377
    Abstract: A switching system is provided to enable selective access from a work center W to any of a plurality of computers PC1-PC16. Connections are provided from .the work center W including a video monitor, a keyboard and a mouse through a selector S proximate the work center W and a single cable bus CB extending in parallel to a plurality of controllers C1-C4 proximate individual computers. The selector S associates a specific computer with identification signals that are provided through the cable bus CB to the controllers C1-C4 to selectively link the identified computer through one of the controllers C1-C4 and the selector S to the work center W. The selector S incorporates a display to identify the selected computer and a manual switch for computer selection. Signal adjustment, reset and autobooting capabilities are provided in the system.
