A fluid delivery system includes one or more smart hoses. A smart hose of the one or more smart hoses includes a fluid conduit configured to deliver a fluid. The smart hose further includes a first electrically conductive element configured to deliver electricity through a length of the smart hose.

Process for manufacturing a power cable includes: providing a power cable core having an electric conductor; providing a copper foil; providing a protective strip over the power cable core, the protective strip having a radially inner and outer surface and being made of copper with a coating; folding the copper foil around the power cable core so as to bring two longitudinal copper foil rims to contact one to the other; welding the two contacted longitudinal copper foil rims thus obtaining a copper sheath in form of a tube with a welding seam; reducing the diameter of the copper sheath to put it into direct contact with the power cable core and the protective strip; heating the protective strip and the copper sheath at a temperature higher than the melting temperature of the coating of the strip so that the coating fuses in the welding seam.

A manufacturing method of a screening tape for using in an unshielded signal transmission cable without a drain wire for transmitting analog or digital signals comprises the following steps: providing an insulating substrate having a continuous flat surface; providing a continuous conductive layer; providing an adhesion layer in a discontinuous manner on the continuous flat surface of the insulating substrate or on the continuous conductive layer; bonding the continuous conductive layer and the insulating substrate through the adhesion layer to form a laminated structure comprising the insulating substrate, the adhesion layer, and the continuous conductive layer; and stretching the laminated structure in a longitudinal direction of the laminated structure to divide the conductive layer into multiple discrete conductive blocks that are mechanically and electrically isolated from each other.

Systems and methods presented herein provide for elastomeric and flexible cables. In one embodiment, the cables are configured with elastomeric cabling and circuitry. For example, a flexible circuit line (or lines) may be wrapped about an extruded elastomeric substrate (e.g., a polymer). Integrated circuits (e.g., sensors, accelerometers, light emitting diodes, controllers, microprocessors, etc.) may be disposed at various points along the circuit line(s). The cable may then be wrapped with a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape than can be heated to shrink about the cable for protection of the underlying circuitry. Then, the cable may be surrounded with a layer of polymer and extruded to form an elastomeric and flexible cable.

A dual axial cable includes first and second signal conductors and a shield. The first and second signal conductors transmit a differential signal. The shield includes a foil wrap spirally wrapped around the first and second conductors to form a plurality of foil wrap sections. Each of the foil wrap sections overlaps an adjacent foil wrap section. The periodicity of a pitch of each of the overlaps varies along a length of the dual axial cable.
