Abstract
Abstract An electrode and a lead wire therefor used with a device for measuring the electrical signals emanating from a living body, such as a cardiograph or electroenecephalograph employed for examination and diagnostic purposes. The electrode consists of two layers of finely divided electrically conductive material, that are printed in laminated fashion on the opposite surfaces of an insulating film. The lead wire comprises plural laminated layers of finely divided electrically conductive material on the opposite sides of an insulating film, the laminated layers being interspersed with or encased by carbon layers and insulating layers. Since X-rays penetrate the electrode and the lead wire, an X-ray photograph may be taken during visual inspection of the biosignals without the image of the electrode and the lead wire appearing on the film to hinder diagnosis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
167 words
A shielded wire used in conjunction with an electrode for application to a living body, said shielded wire being adapted to transmit electrical signals issuing from the living body, said shielded wire comprising an elongated strip of an insulating film, a narrow signal line formed on the surface of one side of said strip, a first layer of electrically conductive material having a width larger than the width of said signal line and arranged on said one side of said strip overlying said signal line, a layer of insulating material located between said signal line and said first layer of electrically conductive material, a second layer of electrically conductive material having a width larger than the width of said signal line and arranged on the opposite side of said strip underlying said signal line, and grounding lines electrically connected to and arranged longitudinally of said layers of electrically conductive material, said signal line being substantially shielded by said layers of electrically conductive material and said grounding lines.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
167 words
