1. A method of coating an elongate, uncoated conductive element with a substantially continuous barrier layer, comprising:
- positioning the uncoated conductive element around a plurality of spaced rods;
depositing a barrier material on the conductive element to form an intermediate layer having uncoated gaps therein located where the conductive element contacts the rods;
moving the coated conductive element relative to the frame following deposition of the intermediate layer such that the uncoated gaps are not in contact with the rods;
depositing a barrier material on the conductive element to form the substantially continuous barrier layer; and
removing the conductive element from the frame.

Abstract
Coating an elongate, uncoated conductive element with a substantially continuous barrier layer. The substantially continuous barrier layer is formed through relative movement of the conductive element to a frame between sequential coatings of a barrier material.

11. A method of coating an elongate, uncoated conductive element with a substantially continuous barrier layer, comprising:
-
positioning the uncoated conductive element around a plurality of spaced rods; depositing a barrier material on the conductive element to form an intermediate layer having uncoated gaps therein located where the conductive element contacts the rods; transferring the coated conductive element from the first frame to a second frame comprising a plurality of spaced rods such that the uncoated gaps are not in contact with the rods of the second frame; depositing a barrier material on the conductive element to form the substantially continuous barrier layer; and removing the coated conductive element from the frame. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
