Patent ID: 7440252

Claim:
An energy conditioner comprising: an A conductor including an A overlap portion and an A 1 tab, wherein said A overlap portion has A major surfaces and A side edges between said A major surfaces; a B conductor including a B overlap portion and a B 1 tab, wherein said B overlap portion has B major surfaces and B side edges between said B major surfaces; a G conductor including a G overlap portion, a G 1 tab, and a G 2 tab; at least one dielectric material; wherein said A overlap portion, said B overlap portion, and said G overlap portion define an overlap region; wherein said G overlap portion is between said A overlap portion and said B overlap portion; wherein said A overlap portion, said B overlap portion, and said G overlap portion are conductively isolated from one another in the overlap region; said G conductor is conductively isolated from said A conductor and said B conductor; and wherein said at least one dielectric material covers side edges of said A overlap portion and said B overlap portion.
