An insulated electric wire includes a conductor in which elemental wires made of a metal material are twisted together; and an insulation covering that covers an outer circumference of the conductor. The insulated electric wire includes: an exposed portion in which the insulation covering is removed from the outer circumference of the conductor; a covered portion in which the insulation covering covers the outer circumference of the conductor, the exposed portion and the covered portion being provided adjacent to each other in a longitudinal axis direction; and a water-stopping portion in which gaps between the elemental wires in the exposed portion are filled with a water-stopping agent. In an area enclosed by the surface of the water-stopping agent, the surface of the elemental wires is in contact with only the water-stopping agent or another elemental wire.

An electric wire with a terminal includes: an electric wire having a core wire, and a cover; a crimp terminal having a core wire crimping portion which is crimped to the core wire, a cover crimping portion which is crimped to the cover, and a connecting portion which extends from the core crimping portion to the cover crimping portion; and a resin which integrally covers the core wire and the crimp terminal. The core wire has an intermediate portion which extends between the core crimping portion and the cover crimping portion. The connecting portion has a bottom wall portion and a pair of side wall portions which extend in a height direction of the crimp terminal from end portions of the bottom wall portion in a width direction.

The present invention relates to a powder coating composition for preparing a dielectric coating. The powder coating composition includes: (a) an epoxy functional polymer; (b) a poly-carboxylic acid functional polyester polymer reactive with the epoxy functional polymer and which has an acid value of less than 100 mg KOH/g; and (c) a poly-carboxylic acid functional (meth)acrylate polymer reactive with the epoxy functional polymer. Further, if a colorant is present, the powder coating composition comprises 35 weight % or less of the colorant, based on the total solids weight of the coating composition.

Methods for coating a working wire for a continuous biological sensor include providing a plurality of wires in a fixture and dipping the plurality of wires into a coating solution according to parameters for a dipping process. A plurality of diameters is measured along a length of at least two coated wires of the plurality of wires in the fixture, using an automated measurement system, as in an in-line process. A controller that is in communication with the automated measurement system determines a thickness difference, the thickness difference being a difference between a thickness setpoint and an aggregate criteria for the plurality of diameters. The controller calculates adjusted parameters for the dipping process based on the thickness difference.

An insulated electric wire includes a conductor comprising twisted elemental wires and an insulation covering. The insulated electric wire includes an exposed portion in which the insulation covering is removed from the outer surface of the conductor, and a covered portion in which the insulation covering covers the outer surface of the conductor. The exposed portion and the covered portion are adjacent with each other along a longitudinal axis of the insulated electric wire. A density of the conductive material per unit length is higher in the exposed portion than in the covered portion. The elemental wires are twisted in both the exposed portion and the covered portion including an area that is positioned away from the exposed portion by at least a distance corresponding to a length of the exposed portion. Gaps between the elemental wires of the exposed portion are filled with a sealant.
