Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical resistor (1), in particular for measuring alternating currents of high frequency, comprising connectors (2, 3) for feeding the current to be measured and connectors (4, 5) for tapping the voltage to be measured and having a layered structure including at least one resistive layer (10), a return conducting layer (11) and any possibly provided insulating layers (7, 12, 21, 22, 24). To obtain a measuring resistance having a particularly good frequency response, a high long-term stability and an efficient cooling and which, moreover, is inexpensive to produce, it is provided for the resistive layer (10) together with the return conducting layer (11) and the possible insulating layers (7, 12, 21, 22, 24) to be part of a multilayered printed circuit board and to comprise a plurality of conductive tracks (14) extending from a central region of the resistive layer (10) towards outside.

Abstract: A heated comfort product such as an electrical blanket having an elongate electrical resistance element is connected in a particular manner to an AC power line by connecting the ends of conductors used in the element at a common end to respective AC power lines so as to achieve reduced or non-detectable electromagnetic and/or electrostatic radiating fields from the comfort product.

Abstract: Current sensing resistance apparatus in the form of a single piece, unitary, U-shaped conductor fabricated from thin flat ribbon material to provide two parallel leg portions terminating in opposite bifurcated ends each pair of which are dissimilarly sized thereby forming electrical circuit connecting elements.
