A composite insulator includes an insulating elongated core, a protective layer surrounding the elongated core, the protective layer including an outer surface with a shed profile and an adhesive primer layer disposed between the elongated core and the protective layer for adhering the protective layer to the elongated core, the adhesive primer layer including a coupling agent and particles of a low resistivity material. The method for producing a composite insulator includes preparing a first solution including a solvent, a coupling agent and particles of a low resistivity material, applying the first solution on at least a part of an envelope surface of an insulating elongated core and thus forming one or more first adhesive primer layers and applying a protective layer onto the first adhesive primer layer on the elongated core, wherein the protective layer includes an outer surface with a shed profile.

A flexible flat cable includes an upper bonding adhesive layer and a lower bonding adhesive layer bonded together, a plurality of bare wires being sandwiched, an upper metal shielding layer located on an upper side of the upper bonding adhesive layer and adhesively attached to the upper bonding adhesive layer, and a lower metal shielding layer located on a lower side of the lower bonding adhesive layer and adhesively attached to the lower side of the lower bonding adhesive layer. The flexible flat cable does not need to be provided with an insulating material layer. It is small in size and simplified in structure. It not only can meet requirements of industries for characteristic impedance and insertion loss, but also can greatly reduce the cost, which in turn better satisfies the important issue of cost considerations of the industries.

A hose lubricating tool for power line hoses. A backboard has a support plate mounted on the front surface. The backboard has a lip portion below the support plate integral with the bottom half. A hinge is mounted to the front surface and attached thereto is a finger base, the finger base mounted to the hinge on the front surface. An indentation is defined within the finger base underneath the front edge. A finger portion is mounted to the finger base, the finger portion extending out over a finger front edge of the finger base to define a finger tip, the finger tip and finger portion sized to be received within a groove of a power line hose. Upon the power line hose being forced along the finger tip, the finger base is urged downward to engage the trigger and release the lubricant.

Methods and systems for a dielectric material coated busbar are provided. In one example, a conductive material may be formed into a shape of a busbar and portions of the busbar may be selectively coated with a dielectric material which may be both electrically insulating and thermally conductive. The dielectric coated portions of the busbar may dissipate heat to a heat sink via a thermal interface material compressed on the busbar.
