Patent ID: 8026777

Claim:
An energy conditioner structure comprising: a sequence of conductive layers including a first A layer, a G layer, and a first B layer; wherein said first A layer, said G layer, and said first B layer are each conductive, and are conductively isolated from one another in said energy conditioner structure; wherein said first A layer includes a first A layer main body and a first A layer tab, said first B layer includes a first B layer main body and a first B layer tab, and said G layer includes a G layer main body and a G layer first tab; wherein said G layer is in a plane between a plane containing said first A layer and a plane containing said first B layer; where the main body of at least one of said first A layer and said first B layer opposes a portion of said G layer main body; wherein two of said first A layer tab, said first B layer tab, and said G layer first tab are on a first side of said energy conditioner, and the remaining one of said first A layer tab, said first B layer tab, and said G layer first tab is on a second side of said energy conditioner, and said second side is opposite from said first side; wherein said energy conditioner structure comprises a fourth tab, and said fourth tab is either part of said G layer or said fourth tab is conductively isolated in said energy conditioner structure from said first A layer, said G layer, and said first B layer; and wherein a distance between said first A layer tab and said first B layer tab is less than or equal to a distance between said G layer first tab and said fourth tab.
