Apparatus for covering at least two cores with the same jacketing material: Patented by Raymond Bourdon on March 6, 1992. Abstract: A plurality of cores are covered with the same jacketing material by passing the cores through respective dies of a plate, while flowing the jacketing material through sub-channels in the plate and into coating relationship with the cores. Any of the sub-channels can be shut off by diverting the jacketing material a flow diverting path without affecting the flow in the other sub-channels.

Chlorine-containing polyethylene-and polyether-based elastomers stabilized with barium sulfate: Patented by Dennis Kemper on February 8, 1997. Abstract: Chlorine-containing polyethylene- and polyether-based elastomer compositions having excellent heat resistance and chemical resistance, which are heat stabilized with from about 1 to about 25 parts per hundred weight of the elastomer of barium sulfate, and high temperature and chemical resistant molded and extruded products including automotive hose and cable jacketing incorporating such elastomer compositions.

Communication cable having polypropylene copolymer jacketing material: Patented by Lisa A. Dixon, Richard H. Norris, Richard D. Small, Phillip M. Thomas and Peter A. Weimann on August 3, 2000. Abstract: A jacket for an outside plant communication cable is made from a resin of an impact-modified polypropylene copolymer compounded with UV stabilizers. The resin has the characteristics of low cost, low post-extrusion shrinkage, high melting temperature and increased crush and abrasion resistance. The UV light stabilizers may include UV absorbers, quenchers, and/or hindered amine light stabilizers.

FLAME AND SMOKE RETARDANT CABLE INSULATION AND JACKETING COMPOSITIONS: Patented by A. Williamm. Coaker and Josef C. Vyvoda on September 1, 1988. Abstract: Flexibilized vinyl halide polymers and copolymers having improved flame retarding and smoke suppressing as well as physical and electrical properties are described. The compositions are characterized by an unusual combination of ingredients comprising a base polymer flexibilized with chlorinated polyethylene, flame and/or smoke suppressants, stabilizers and plasticizers. The compositions exhibit improved flame and smoke suppression and low brittleness temperature over that of conventional fire and smoke suppressed PVC.

Flame retardant composition: Patented by Leonard A. Linsky, John C. Andries, Donald Ouellette, John A. Buono and Tao Tao on August 7, 1995. Abstract: Flame retardant compositions for cable jacketing and wire insulation that contain: (a) polyvinyl chloride resin; (b) a pentaerythritol ester plasticizer; (c) aluminum trihydrate; (d) antimony trioxide flame retardant; (e) a brominated phthalate ester; (f) isodecyl diphenyl phosphate plasticizer; and (g) zinc borate flame retardant and that are free of chlorinated polyvinyl chloride resin are disclosed.

Flexible self-regulating heating pad for compressed gas cylinders: Patented by Jamie A. Coultas on September 6, 1990. Abstract: A flexible self-regulating heating pad apparatus (10) in combination with a compressed gas cylinder (50); wherein, the flexible self-regulating heating pad apparatus )10) consists of a flexible self-regulating heating unit (34); an insulation unit (36); a jacketing unit (38); and a releasable attachment system (40) for installing the flexible self-regulating heating pad apparatus (10) in a circumferential fashion around the compressed gas cylinder (50) to increase the temperature and concurrently the pressure of the contents (54) of the cylinder (50).
