Abstract: A tool for removing unwanted items from plumbing including at least two angled passageways, such as that found in a toilet. The tool comprises an elongated body including a flexible sheath made of a music wire extendable coil, and a flexible steel inner core comprising at least three radially outward flexing flat steel pieces, the body being lax.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a routing engine, a method of routing a test probe and a testing system employing the router or the method. In one embodiment, the routing engine is for use with a test unit having at least one test probe and includes an analysis unit configured to analyze alternative test probe routing sequences that employ representative circuit chips of a semiconductor wafer to be tested by the test unit. The routing engine also includes a selection unit configured to select at least one of the test probe routing sequences as a test probe path for testing the semiconductor wafer based on a total cost of travel for the test probe path.

Abstract: An undersea communication cable system repeater housing and electronic circuits mounting structure includes a vessel having an electrical insulator covering an inside surface of the vessel. A heat conducting structure for mounting electronic circuits includes separable segments having surface areas contoured to match an inside surface of the electrical insulator. Electronic circuits are mounted on the heat conducting structure. The separable segments of the heat conducting structure are inserted into the vessel as a unit with resilient devices interposed between the segments for pressing the contoured surface areas into intimate contact with the inside surface of the electrical insulator.

Abstract: A device for scraping ice or frost from vehicle windows and windshields. A substantially flat flexible member, an edge of which follows the contour of a to be cleared surface has a series of recesses on one side of the member to break up the frozen surface prior to turning the member over for final clearing.
