Abstract: A device for coupling a propulsor to a marine vessel. The device includes a mounting bracket configured for attachment to the marine vessel. A support frame has a carriage and is configured for the propulsor to be coupled thereto, where the carriage is configured to slidably engage with the mounting bracket into a fixed position. A member is manually engageable to prevent the carriage from sliding out of the fixed position. The propulsor is coupled to the marine vessel by sliding the carriage into the fixed position and engaging the member, where the propulsor is operable to propel the marine vessel in water when the carriage is in the fixed position, and where the propulsor is configured for decoupling from the marine vessel by disengaging the member and sliding the carriage out of engagement with the mounting bracket.

Abstract: A portable animal storage unit comprising a pliable, foldable panel, said panel having an inner facing and an outer facing, a first side edge, a second side, a top edge, and a bottom edge, the inner facing and outer facing defining an insulating space therebetween, the inner facing being formed of a water-impervious material, the insulation space containing a thermal insulating material, a sack attached to the inner facing and having an openable end, the sack being made of a material that permits heat transfer, and a closure for holding at least the first side edge and second side edge together when the panel is folded such that the first side edge and second side edge substantially overlie one another.

Abstract: A coaxial cable tap is utilized to couple transmitting and receiving devices to a transmission line. An electrical probe (301) is inserted into a coaxial cable (10) to separate the outer braided conductor (12) and to contact the center conductor (14) of the cable. A mounting block (401) is mounted in a metal clip or band (501) to support the electrical probe (501) and provide electrical contact. The metal band (501) has two prongs (509, 511) to pierce the outer cover and contact the outer braided conductor of the cable. This apparatus is then mounted in a connector box (101) for support, protection and connection to the transmitting/receiving devices.
