摘要:
Metal wires (1) are twisted into several layers (7, 8, 9) around a core (2) in order to obtain a cable for overhead lines. Reinforcing elements (3, 4) are located between the wires (1) and are twisted with them at the same pitch. The reinforcing elements (3, 4) are non-distortable bars having a rigid structure and consist of reinforcing fibres and a hardening reactive resin. The reinforcing elements (3, 4) are completely surrounded by metal wires (1) and are protected against ultra-violet radiation.

A surgical snare instrument includes an elongate tubular sheath (12) having proximal (14), and distal (16) ends; a flexible torqued shaft (18) having proximal (20), and distal (22) ends extending through and axially movable relative to the sheath (12); a snare loop (24) at the distal (22) end of the shaft (18); a handle (26) coupled to the proximal ends of the sheath (12), the shaft (18) for moving in the shaft (18) relative to the sheath (12), and for rotating the shaft (18) relative to the sheath (12) such that the snare loop (24), when extended beyond the distal (16) end of the sheath (12), is rotatable relative to the distal (16) end of the sheath (12). The shaft (18) is preferably a multi-filament twisted, and drawn cable. The filaments of the multi-filament twisted, and drawn cable are preferably either stainless steel, nickel-titanium alloy, or a combination of the two. Such a shaft has been demonstrated to provide the high torque ability necessary for controlled rotation of the snare loop.

Electrical cable (10) of the present invention include cables made from plated filaments (12, 14, 16) which are first twisted together and then drawn through reducing dies (or swaged), filaments which are twisted together around a core material which melts or deforms during drawing of the cable through reducing dies, filaments which are twisted around a tube prior to drawing through reducing methods. The cables (10) exhibit a conductivity comparable to cables having greater diameter and weight. The smaller diameter of the cables of the invention allows them to be used as leads for electronic components in order to achieve reduced parasitic capacitance without increased resistivity or reactance or component package size. The cold working of the cables of the invention provides them with enhanced flexibility and fatigue strength. The combination of materials used in the cables of the invention provides them with enhanced flexibility and fatigue strength. The combination of materials used in the cable of the invention provides them with resistance to corrosion and the adverse effects of aging as well as enhanced conductivity. Cables formed according to the invention with a hollow tube core can be self-cooling, or easily cooled by flowing a coolant through the hollow core. The hollow tube core also enhances fatigue strength, resists the effects of aging, and lowers the weight of the cable. Cables formed with a silver core are also self-cooling.

Medical devices are provided which utilize a highly flexible cable of two and preferably three or more strands of wire. The strands are twined to form a wire rope which is drawn through successive dies to reduce its diameter until the outer surface of the cable is substantially smooth. A cable so-formed has improved elasticity. The cable is used in medical devices in which increased elasticity of a wire-like element is desired. Twisted and drawn cables incorporating a strand of a radiopaque metal or alloy may be used in devices in which radiopacity of a flexible portion of the device is desired. Twisted and drawn cables incorporating a strand of a metal or alloy having high electrical conductance may be used in devices in which electrical conductivity of a flexible portion of the device is desired.
摘要:
Medical devices are provided which utilize a highly flexible cable of two and preferably three or more strands of wire, at least one of which is a nickel-titanium alloy strand. The strands are twined to form a wire rope which is drawn through successive dies to reduce its diameter until the outer surface of the cable is substantially smooth. A cable of all nickel-titanium alloy strands has been found to have an improved elasticity over a superelastic nickel-titanium wire of the same diameter. The cable is used in medical devices in which increased elasticity of a wire-like element is desired. Twisted and drawn cables incorporating a strand of a radiopaque metal or alloy with one or more nickel-titanium strands may be used in devices in which radiopacity of a flexible portion of the device is desired. Twisted and drawn cables incorporating a strand of a highly electrically conductive metal or alloy with one or more nickel-titanium strands may be used in devices in which electrical conductivity of a flexible portion of the device is desired.

The cross section of the wire has a central portion filled with wire and a plurality of protrusions. The shape of these wires is such that the space taken up by these wires in the stack of wires in the layers is substantially cylindrical.

摘要:
A gap-type overhead transmission line includes a steel core member; a conductor layer positioned to surround the steel core member and having at least one strand wire aggregated therein; and a coating layer interposed in a solid state between the steel core member and the conductor layer so as to surround the steel core member, the coating layer including a material that is sublimated after the conductor layer is stranded so as to form a predetermined gap between the steel core member and the conductor layer.
