This application is a continuation-in-part of my application Ser. No. 760,017, filed Jan. 17, 1977, now abandoned.
Unfilled chemically cross-linked polyethylene has long been recognized by the power cable industry as an insulation material characterized by very low dielectric losses, high dielectric strength, and excellent physical properties. Its most undesirable properties are relatively high hardness and minimum flexibility. Installation costs increase substantially due to the longer time involved making splices and terminations. Compositions based upon ethylene-propylene copolymers and terpolymers and other elastomers have found application in power cables because of their inherently greater flexibility and ease of installation, substantially reducing those costs.
Ethylene-propylene rubbers have been amorphous materials and required reinforcement from added fillers such as hard calcined clays to achieve their necessary physical strength to be used in insulation. Polyethylene, being crystalline in structure, does not require additional reinforcement, therefore unfilled compositions are practical and are used in most power cable applications above 2 kV rating. An unfilled polymer system provides the highest degree of electrical properties, and conversely, the addition of fillers detracts from the inherently good electrical properties of ethylene-propylene rubbers in proportion to the amount of filler employed.
In my invention, both the highest degree of electrical characteristics of an unfilled polymer system and the inherent flexibility of rubber have been combined into a composition suited to power cable applications which include both low and high voltage varieties. This has been accomplished by physically combining polyethylene and an ethylene propylene copolymer or ethylene propylene terpolymer together with a suitable antioxidant and a peroxide curing agent to bring about a cross-linked composition. The ratios in the polymer system can be varied to provide more or less flexibility as desired without appreciably altering other physical properties and without significant changes in electrical characteristics. The resultant compounds are inherently tough, flexible and of the highest degree of electrical properties comparable to those of a typical unfilled chemically cross-linked polyethylene. The cross-linking itself can also be achieved in the absence of chemical cross-linking by irradiation curing.
Based upon limited data available at this time, the life span of the compounds included in this invention will exceed the normal life span of typical unfilled chemically cross-linked polyethylene compounds. Other properties such as low temperature flexibility, weatherability, resistance to deformation and mechanical damage are at least the equivalent of cross-linked polyethylene and typical ethylene propylene copolymers.
A study of a-c dielectric strength has indicated that the new compositions exceed ethylene propylene rubber formulations by a marked degree and slightly surpass the breakdown voltage achieved by the unfilled cross-linked polyethylene.
This invention includes a novel method of mixing the components of the composition. Raw polyethylene and ethylene propylene copolymer, preferably with 15% crystallinity, are purchased in the form of pellets. These original pellets remain intact throughout the entire pre-blending cycle which both intermixes the polymers themselves and provides for the addition of the anti-oxidant and peroxide curing agent by absorption through the pellet surfaces. This is a modification of the patented Furukawa (U.S. Pat. No. 3,455,752) mixing process for cross-linkable polyethylene. Modifications in the mixing are necessary due to the dual polymer system involved. Final mixing is achieved by the screw in the barrel of the extruder which homogenizes the ingredients of the polymer system to form the insulation before extruding it on the final cable product. At this stage, the polymers are fluxed into each other forming a complete matrix, and the additives are uniformly dispersed in the polymer blend. This is a distinct difference from the original Furukawa process which does not require two polymers to be fluxed in the final extrusion operation.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will appear or be pointed out as the description proceeds.
In the drawing, forming a part hereof, in which like reference characters indicate corresponding parts in all the views:
FIG. 1 is a transverse cross-section through a cable made in accordance with this invention; and
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating the method of this invention.
FIG. 1 shows a high-voltage power cable 10 having a center stranded conductor 12 covered by a semi-conducting conductor shield 14. Preferably, an emission shield 16 is applied over the outside of the conductor shield 14.
The insulation for the cable, which insulation is designated by the reference character 20, is applied over the emission shield 16, or the conductor shield 14, if there is no emission shield. The insulation 20 is a mixture of polyethylene and ethylene propylene copolymer.
The ethylene propylene copolymer is not filled as was the ethylene propylene rubber of U.S. Pat. No. 3,579,610, in which I was a co-inventor. The EPR of patent '610 was 40% ethylene, but the ethylene propylene copolymer of this invention is 78 �3% ethylene; and has 15% crystallinity but the EPR of patent '610 was entirely amorphous. Ordinarily, ethylene propylene rubber cannot be used for insulating electric cables unless a filler is added to the ethylene propylene rubber to give it the physical properties necessary for use in a cable, such as abrasion resistance, cut-through resistance and temperature characteristics. When subjected to a higher temperature for curing, the polyethylene and ethylene propylene rubber are cross-linked with themselves and to each other.
The polyethylene is crystalline and imparts to the ethylene propylene copolymer the properties that it needs for use as a cable insulation; and these improved physical properties are obtained without impairing the electrical characteristics of the ethylene propylene copolymer. Fillers have been used to impart the required physical properties but at the expense of the electrical characteristics which are essential for best insulating results. The benefits which this invention derives electrically are due to the fact that the system does not contain reinforcing mineral fillers.
The proportion of polyethylene to ethylene propylene copolymer can be a ratio of 1:1. However, the proportions can be changed over a wide range. The amount of polyethylene must be sufficient to provide the insulation with the necessary physical strength; but the ethylene propylene copolymer must be present in sufficient amount to substantially increase the flexibility of the polyethylene for the reasons explained in the summary at the beginning of this specification. The ratio of the polyethylene to the ethylene propylene copolymer can vary from 80:20 to 20:80. The preferred range, however, is 60:40 to 40:60.
Referring again to FIG. 1. the insulation 20 is covered with a semi-conducting insulation shield 22 over which a corrugated metal shield 24 is applied. This corrugated metal shield 24 is preferably made by folding a transversely corrugated metal tape longitudinally around the cable core. Other types of shield can be used, such as metal tape or wire shield. An outer jacket 26 is extruded over the metal shield 24.
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram illustrating the successive steps in the preferred method of this invention. In order to obtain economy in the manufacture of the cable shown in FIG. 1, polyethylene pellets, which are hard at room temperature, and ethylene propylene copolymer pellets, which are soft and rubbery at room temperature, are placed in a ribbon blender which mixes them together as pellets. This mixture is then transferred to an extruder which is heated.
The heat in the extruder barrel and the work done on the pellets by the screw in the extruder barrel softens the pellets and thoroughly mixes the materials of the pellets together so that they are fluxed into each other forming a complete homogeneous matrix.
If additional ingredients, such as an antioxidant and peroxide curing agent, are added to the pellets, these additional ingredients diffuse through the walls of the pellets, and mix with the polyethylene and ethylene propylene copolymer without waiting for the pellets to be fluxed into each other by the extruder.
The conductor 12 passes through the extruder head via a guider tip, and the insulation is extruded over the conductor at the tip in accordance with conventional extrusion practice.
This invention does permit an improvement in the extrusion process which has not been possible with insulation made entirely of ethylene propylene rubber and filler.
The insulating material of this invention can be forced through a fine mesh screen or plate in the extruder at a location between the end of the screw and the tip of the extruder. The mixture of the two base polymers, polyethylene and ethylene propylene copolymer, can be forced through a screen having the equivalent of a 325 mesh, and this eliminates from the insulation any solid impurities 1.7 mils in size. The elimination of particles larger than 1.7 mils, or the breaking-up of the particles which do pass through the screen, greatly increase the effectiveness of the insulation by making it capable of withstanding higher voltage stress per mil of insulation thickness.
The preferred material for the ethylene propylene copolymer is available from Exxon Chemical Co., and its address is P.O. Box 201, Florham Park, N.J. 07932. The particular copolymer that I have used for the invention described in this specification is designated by the Exxon Chemical Co. as "Vistalon 702", and it is approximately 15% crystalline. Exxon Chemical Co. makes another copolymer of ethylene and propylene designated as "Vistalon 404" which has substantially no crystallinity. This amorphous copolymer cannot be used for my invention becuase it requires a filler in order to have the strength necessary for the insulation.
An equivalent material to that claimed in the specification is a copolymer of an ethylene and propylene in which diene is added to make a terpolymer. This material designated as "Nordel 2722" is a available from DuPont of Wilmington, Del. For purposes of the claims this Nordel 2722, without filler, is to be considered a mechanical equivalent of the copolymer of ethylene and propylene with some crystallinity. There may be other products that I do not know of which are chemical equivalents of the copolymers of ethylene and propylene with crystallinity sufficient for making insulation when mixed with polyethylene and without any filler in the insulation.
The expression "ethylene propylene copolymer" is used herein in a broad sense to include such copolymers even though additional copolymerized monomer may be present in the Nordel ethylene diene terpolymer described above.
The expression "unfilled" as used herein, designates an insulation in which no material, usually clay, has been added to the insulation conpound for the purpose of increasing the mechanical strength of the insulation. Such filler degrades the electrical characteristics of the insulation.
The preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, but changes and modifications can be made and some features can be used in different combinations without departing from the invention as defined in the claims.

DEFINITION of 'Insourcing'
Assigning a project to a person or department within the company instead of hiring an outside person or company to do the work. While outsourcing is commonly thought of as a way for companies to save money, it is sometimes more cost effective to have the work done in-house.
BREAKING DOWN 'Insourcing'
In the United States, insourcing can also refer to the use of U.S.-based subsidiaries by foreign multinational corporations. These insourcing companies contribute to research and development, capital investment, exports and job creation. So, while outsourcing is often looked upon as a negative effect of globalization that sends U.S. jobs abroad to countries with cheaper labor, outsourcing actually works both ways because it also sends jobs to the United States from foreign countries.

Demand Equality in Media: MoveOn Campaign Petitions CNN For Fair Air-Time
On behalf of the American Dream Campaign, MoveOn.org, a coalition of groups working to bring real people into politics, is petitioning CNN to "Give the American Dream Movement air time to respond to President Obama's jobs speech on Thursday, just like you did for the tea party."
After Obama gave his State of the Union speech in January, CNN gave air-time to both the Republican and Tea Party response. With Progressives under-represented in media and a political sphere that is pushing further and further to the right, MoveOn.org is petitioning CNN to level the playing field and work towards more informed debate. Obama will give his jobs speech this Thursday, and MoveOn wants their voices to be heard.
MoveOn said this an E-mail to supporters:
The American Dream Movement includes scores of groups representing millions of regular Americans who've been out in force for months demanding jobs, not cuts, an end to attacks on the middle class, and fair taxes on corporations and the rich. In July, when we got together to write the Contract for the American Dream, we had twice as many gatherings as the tea party had when they launched.
Immediately following the president's speech, we will broadcast an official American Dream Movement response from some of the grassroots leaders who've been championing the fight for jobs. But getting air time is key to changing the discussion around jobs. So we need to send a message to CNN.
This isn't just about fairness. Responses and commentary on major presidential speeches set the tone for the debate in Congress and around the country. When the response comes only from the right, the president's position gets cast as the left pole of the debate, even when it's already a compromise position, or worse, one made primarily of right-wing ideas.
No group of Americans has fought harder for immediate, common sense measures to create jobs. As a movement, we have an important perspective to share on this debate. So send CNN this message.
The American Dream Movement was sparked by teachers in Wisconsin, and is gathering steam:
- In July, over 130,000 Americans came together to create the Contract for the American Dream, a shared blueprint for an economy that works for all Americans, not just the rich.
- During the debt ceiling fight, with 36 hours' notice, members of the American Dream movement organized actions at over 1,000 congressional offices to protest Republican hostage-taking and Democratic capitulation.
- In August, American Dreamers swarmed town halls to ask members of Congress about jobs, and organized hundreds of actions targeting those who tried to avoid facing the public.
If you want to see CNN share the voices of both sides of the political debate, sign the petition. Now are trying times for most Americans, but we can change that. FInd out more at MoveOn.org.

IRVING, Texas -- Wade Phillips has never had a chance to finish the job.
Phillips got only two seasons in Denver before he was fired and replaced by Mike Shanahan, who won two Super Bowls with the Broncos while Phillips coached elsewhere.
A few years later, Phillips was let go after only three seasons in Buffalo. The Music City Miracle wasn't his undoing nor was his handling of the Bills' quarterback situation. Phillips was fired for his failure to let go of some of his assistant coaches.
In his third full-time head-coaching stint, Phillips will get a chance to finish what he started.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he will meet with Phillips on Monday to talk about several things regarding the organization. Sources have said that Jones has picked up the option for 2010 and Phillips will be back, ending all the drama.
When Cowboys defensive line coach Todd Grantham announced Friday he was becoming the defensive coordinator at the University of Georgia, Phillips wanted to hire the recently fired Paul Pasqualoni.
Jones said no problem because he wanted somebody who knows the core group of this team. Pasqualoni was a well-liked Cowboys assistant from 2005 to 2007. The hiring of Pasqualoni also gave Phillips one less thing to worry about in the offseason.
Two key players that Phillips asked Jones to sign in free agency last year, Keith Brooking and Igor Olshansky, are returning for 2010. That was unlike last season, when the team decided not to re-sign Zach Thomas, another of Phillips' favorite players.
The Cowboys' 34-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC divisional round Sunday could be considered a step back in the team's progress toward winning a title. But it shouldn't, because Jones will reiterate something he did last year: Keeping the coach continues the progress of how you get to that championship.
"You know I'm pleased with the job he's done, and this game doesn't have any bearing on any decision I make," Jones said of Phillips after the loss.
Phillips has always said he doesn't control his own destiny. He learned the hard way in Denver and Buffalo that no matter how many games you win or lose, somebody else controls your fate.
"Our goal was to win it all, and if not, then that's not a success," Phillips said. "I do think we did a lot of great things; winning the division is certainly important and winning the playoff game at home is important, and we need to get back to that point next year."
Next year is now for Phillips.
Quarterback Tony Romo is on the rise. He has two young, talented running backs in Felix Jones and Tashard Choice. Wide receiver Miles Austin has emerged to become a No. 1 passing threat. Phillips also might have found the next left tackle, Doug Free, to replace Flozell Adams.
Jones said Phillips is the MVP of this team thanks to what he did with the defense.
In 2007, Phillips' first draft pick was defensive end Anthony Spencer, whom Phillips converted into an outside linebacker. In the last two months of this season, Spencer was as much of a threat off the edge as DeMarcus Ware.
Then there's speedy Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick, who form a strong stable of cornerbacks with veteran Terence Newman.
What more could be said about how Phillips' 3-4 scheme has helped nose tackle Jay Ratliff become a two-time Pro Bowler and how backups such as Stephen Bowen and Jason Hatcher provided strong play on the defensive line?
Phillips even found playing time for former first-round pick Bobby Carpenter, who made an impact on the nickel defense.
Phillips made two critical coaching decisions. He fired close friend Brian Stewart as defensive coordinator and also let go of Bruce Read as special-teams coach.
Phillips took over the defensive play calling and hired good friend Joe DeCamillis, who recommended the team draft David Buehler as a kickoff specialist.
It worked. Buehler led the NFL with 29 touchbacks as a rookie. In 2008, the Cowboys had none.
Everything seems ready now for Phillips to take this team to another level.
"This group worked awfully hard, and I think we'll continue to do that," Phillips said. "We showed signs of being really good in a lot of areas. I think our defense can be really good next year starting out. The same with our offense and special teams. I think we can have a really solid football team."
Jones, the man who decides these things, will make an official announcement on Phillips' status at some point with the hope that this is forward progress.
"This doesn't discourage me from the direction we're going," Jones said after the loss to the Vikings. "I had hope we were there, and we weren't, and this game showed that. But we have a ways to go to from here and build on some of the things we did this year. We got some really good people and good players."

By J. MILTON MABBOTT, M. D.,
The specimen which I have the privilege of presenting
before the Section this evening is an Zenegra Online anencephalic foetus, de-
livered at the Nursery and Child's Hospital, January 30,
1889, in the service of Dr. J. J. Hull. The monstrosity is
not of extremely infrequent occurrence, but I trust that the
following rather full notes of the case will be of interest :
Mrs. L. P., aged twenty-six years, Swede, was admitted to
hospital December 6, 1888. There is no family history of im-
becility or monstrosities.
She bore a child at full tei'm on August 4, 1836, ten months
after marriage. She was still nursing this child when she again
became pregnant about April 25, 1888. During Zenegra 100 Mg lactation she
had suffered from alopecia areata. The hair has since grown
again evenly, but much less thickly than before. She thought
she might have conti'acted some disease from her husband, but
she presented no further symptoms, and had no other reason
for suspecting him of being syphilitic. He had suffered from
a severe sunstroke in July, 1884, and heat-prostration each sum-
mer since. Finally, daring the last four months before Mrs. P.'s

Haskell Functional Programming Bookstore | Lambda the Ultimate
The gents at Lambda the Ultimate note that John Meacham has set up a Cafe Press Bookstore for Haskell books, including Simon Peyton-Jones and James Lester's Implementing Functional Languages. Peyton-Jones' Design and Implementation of Functional Programming was a book that I studied extensively in grad school back in the late 80's, and it's good to see that these out of print books are available again.

Manage Fibre channel
Learn to apply best practices and optimize your operations.
Fibre Channel technology is alive and kicking
Historically, Fibre Channel technology has been a top choice for enterprises in need of a high-speed interconnect for SANs. With the introduction of iSCSI storage, however, the landscape shifted. Ethernet networking gained acceptance for block storage and became popular for file, and later cloud-based, object storage. It costs less, requires no dedicated switching and special training, and offers adequate performance for most business applications. But don't sound the death knell for Fibre Channel technology; market research indicates widespread use and a slow decline.
Most storage vendors today offer object-based storage, and interest in these systems is high. Object storage offers massive scalability, potentially better data management with extended metadata, cloud storage integration via support for RESTful APIs and lower overall storage costs. The trick, of course, is integrating object and all of its capabilities into environments still dominated by SAN, NAS, and applications that continue to expect file or block storage interfaces. But, it's being done.
Big data, Hadoop, MapReduce, data warehousing, business intelligence… All of these analytics applications place new demands on storage systems and often require new or modified storage structures. The special requirements of these analytics-on-a-massive-scale apps, and how to effectively manage their supporting storage infrastructures, are detailed in this issue of Storage magazine.Continue Reading
What storage problems can vSphere Virtual Volumes solve?
VSphere VVOLs allow virtual administrators to self-provision a pool of storage as they see fit. Continue Reading

This cooktop has all the desirable features for cooking and cleaning. Our is on LPG and It provides fast, even heat on all burners. There are adequate sizes and choices of burners well spaced for safely cooking multiple items. It is super easy to clean; everything comes off and can be washed or put in a dish washer. It's easy to restore to service after cleaning. The grates are heavy duty and will take a heavy pot without bending, and it looks great! Our friends admire it and I don't hesitate to recommend it.

Purchased this for a new build 5 years ago, without seeing it in person. The bottom (see picture) is a separate piece of steel so when there's a spill over or grease spill it runs to the sides and into the creases. Solid piece would be better. Should have seen it before buying, wasn't in the showroom and builder was impatient. If this is a newer version maybe my issue is no longer one, I will be replacing mine.

Very Easy to maintain
By Neicy
from Atlanta, GA
I recently purchased a home and this was the gas cooktop. I absolutely love it because it is very sturdy and easy to maintain. The only thing I will say bad about it is the low flame setting is not very low.
The real gas cooktop brings you tasty dishes on the table.
By Peni
from Austin,TX
I love my 5 burner gas cooktop. It's very functional and separated. I like the middle burner to cook such like fried dishes, it needs big fire. And, each upper corner is so perfect to my stovetop espresso moka pot. Each corner is so easy to boil water, cook noodles etc.
great layout of burners and controls
