A harness for a vehicle, configured to be attachable to a vehicle body, includes a cable including a plurality of electric wires, each of which includes a center conductor and an insulation that covers the center conductor, a separator including a paper, a non-woven fabric, or a resin tape that covers and contacts with the plurality of electric wires, and an outer sheath that covers the separator, a rubber member provided along a longitudinal direction of a part of the cable, and a fixing member for attaching the cable to the vehicle body. The fixing member is attached to an outer surface of the outer sheath through the rubber member.

A non-metallic cable includes at least two circuit conductors each disposed within a first insulator, a grounding conductor, and a first jacket in which the at least two circuit conductors and the grounding conductor extend. The non-metallic cable further includes two control conductors, each control conductor disposed within a second insulator, and a second jacket made from a thermoplastic material in which the two control conductors extend. The first jacket is connected to the second jacket.

In one instance, a composite hybrid cable is provided for allowing multiple constituent cables to be run through a wire chase or wall of a structure in a single pass by pushing. The ends of the constituent cables may be at different lengths and may have factory-installed connectors. The ends may be staggered and covered with a material to form a tapered leading edge to facilitate running the composite hybrid cable. Other cables and methods are presented.

A complex harness includes first electric wires, each of which includes a first center conductor and a first insulation that covers the first center conductor, a cable including second electric wires, each of which includes a second center conductor and a second insulation that covers the second center conductor, and an inner sheath that covers the second electric wires, and an outer sheath covering the first electric wires and the cable collectively. The first electric wires are extended from an end of the outer sheath. The cable is extended from the end of the outer sheath in a state where the second electric wires are collectively covered by the inner sheath in such a manner that an extension length of the cable from the end of the outer sheath is greater than an extension length of the first electric wires from the end of the outer sheath.

Embodiments of the invention are related to modular display panels. In one embodiment, a modular display panel includes a first side which includes a display surface, and an opposite second side. The modular display panel further includes a plastic enclosure including an outer surface that forms substantially all of the second side. The modular display panel further includes LEDs arranged as pixels attached to a printed circuit board which is attached to the plastic enclosure. The modular display panel further includes a circuit for controlling the LEDs and a power source for powering the LEDs. The front side of the printed circuit board is sealed to be waterproof and the plastic enclosure is sealed to be waterproof so that the modular display panel is sealed to be waterproof.

Utilizing a data cable infrastructure to provide power includes a detector to determine whether data cables in the data cable infrastructure are being used by a data service provider, a circuit to determine an amount of power that can be provided on each of a number of wires within the data cables, and an adjustable power supply of a power system to selectively provide power over the wires within the data cables in the amount determined by the circuit and based on whether the detector determines the data cables to be in use by the data service provider.

An apparatus for transmitting energy and information includes at least one first electrical conductor configured to transmit a charging current of a charging system for an electric vehicle, a second electrical conductor configured as a protective conductor of the charging system, a third electrical conductor configured to transmit a control pilot signal, and a fourth electrical conductor configured to transmit a counterconductor signal. The apparatus has a transmission device, which is configured to transmit the information as a differential signal of the control pilot signal and the counterconductor signal.

A power distribution system is disclosed for conducting electrical power through a combination of hollow tube conductors and flexible cabling. Each hollow tube conductor includes an end formed into flat pads. The flexible cabling comprises litz wire, and includes ends crimped to integral lugs. An end of the flexible cabling is coupled to an end of the hollow tube conductor. The other end of the flexible cabling is coupled to an electric device. The other end of the hollow tube conductor is coupled to another flexible cable, which is in turn coupled to another electric device. By connecting the hollow tube conductors, flexible cabling, and electrical devices in this way, an electrically conductive pathway may be established between the electrical devices. The power distribution system conducts alternating current (AC) power, and addresses the skin effect phenomenon that occurs when conducting AC power. The power distribution system can be utilized in the highly-constrained environment of electric aircraft, where weight and space is at a premium.

A system and method for an LCDI power cord and associated circuits is provided. The system and method include energizing shielded neutral wires and shielded line wires and monitoring the energized shields for surges, e.g., arcing, detected by a Leakage Current Detection Circuit (LCDC) and/or voltage drops, e.g., shield breaks, detected by a Shield Integrity Circuit (SIC).
