The specification describes cable comprising: a first universal serial bus (USB) connector, a first non-circular section cable coupled to the first USB connector, the first non-circular section cable having a cross-sectional width and a thickness, the cross-sectional width being substantially greater than the thickness, a splitter block coupled to the first non-circular section cable, two or more second non-circular section cables coupled to the splitter block, and two or more second USB connectors that are correspondingly coupled to the two or more second non-circular section cables. The first non-circular section cable may include a cable core comprising one or more signal conductors and an outer sleeve surrounding the cable core.

Battery charging cable assembly

Fluoroplastics containing fluorocarbon resins and silicones are prepared by first mixing a fluorocarbon resin with a compatibilizer, then adding a curable organopolysiloxane with a radical initiator, and vulcanizing the organopolysiloxane in the mixture. The fluoroplastics can be processed by various techniques, such as extrusion, vacuum forming, injection molding, blow molding or compression molding, to fabricate plastic parts. The resulting fabricated parts can be re-processed (recycled) with little or no degradation of mechanical properties.

Fluoroplastic silicone vulcanizates

A method is disclosed for preparing an elastomeric base composition comprising: (I) mixing by an extrusion process (A) a fluorocarbon elastomer with (B) an optional compatibilizer, (C) an optional catalyst (D) a silicone base comprising a curable organopolysiloxane, (E), an optional crosslinking agent (F) a cure agent in an amount sufficient to cure said organopolysiloxane; and (II) dynamically vulcanizing the organopolysiloxane, wherein the weight ratio of fluorocarbon elastomer (A) to silicone base (B) in the elastomeric base composition ranges from 95:5 to 30:70. The cured rubber compositions obtained from the elastomeric base compositions herein have good fuel resistance properties.

Poly(siloxane-acrylate) elastomers with oxycarbonylethyleneimino-containing organic group and method of making the same

Organosiloxane compositions curable to silicone elastomers having improved weep properties are described. The compositions include an alkenyl-containing polydiorganosiloxane, an organohydrogensiloxane, a platinum-group metal catalyst and a MQ-type resinous organosiloxane copolymer having at least one fluorine atom-containing group per molecule; and a silicone elastomer prepared from such composition. A method of minimizing the leakage of a hydrocarbon fluid from a container using the silicone elastomer is also described.
