Publication number: 20140069682Abstract: Cable structures for use in cable assemblies that interconnect portable electronic devices with various other devices, such as power adaptors, computers, media playback devices, etc. are shown. The cable structures can include a ground conductor that is broken up into multiple, smaller ground conductors that are physically separate and distinct from each other with the cable structure (and which can be terminated together in, for example, the connectors at the ends of the cable assembly). The cable structure may also include conductors having insulating material formed from FEP and/or wire mesh shield elements configured for high durability during bending and twisting of the assembled cable. An extrusion process can be used to manufacture the final, fully-assembled cable structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Albert J. Golko, Edward Siahaan, Eric S. Jol, John B. Ardisana, II

Publication number: 20140031911Abstract: This disclosure describes an implantable medical lead, and method of making such a lead, that reduces the undesirable effects the fields generated by an MRI device may have on the implantable medical lead and the implantable medical device. The implantable medical lead has a proximal end configured to connect to an implantable medical device and a distal end. The lead also includes at least one electrode located near the distal end and at least one coiled conductor that extends along a length of the lead from the proximal end to a respective electrode. The lead further includes an outer jacket that is configured to only partially extend between turns of one or more of the coiled conductors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2012Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventor: Terrell M.

Publication number: 20140008097Abstract: An electric wire of the present invention includes: (a) a conductive wire divided into a plurality of regions by a first insulating film extending in a longitudinal direction; (b) a second insulating film that coats a longitudinal periphery of the conductive wire; and (c) a conductive pipe that surrounds, without any space, the conductive wire in the longitudinal direction while sandwiching the second insulating film. Each of the divided regions of the conductive wire has a minor axis less than twice as large as a skin thickness at a working frequency. A wall thickness of the conductive pipe is smaller than the skin thickness at the working frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2012Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: KYOWA ELECTRIC WIRE CO., LTD.Inventors: Kinya SUGIE, Hiroshi HIRAIKE

Publication number: 20130292029Abstract: Fibers may be intertwined to form cables for headsets and other structures. The cables may include wires, The wires may be surrounded by a jacket formed. from intertwined fibers, The intertwined fibers may include fibers with different melting temperatures. The jacket may be heated to a temperature that is sufficient to melt some of the fibers in the jacket without melting other fibers in the jacket. The melted fibers may flow into spaces between the unmelted fibers and may serve as a binder that holds together the unmelted fibers. The intertwining process may be used to form a bifurcation for a headset. A dipping process may be used to cover the jacket with a coating. The coating may be formed over the entire length of the cable or may be formed in a particular portion of the cable such as the portion of the cable that includes the bifurcation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Inventors: Jonathan S.
