Abstract: A coaxial cable tap is provided for connection to a coaxial line that is accomplished without disconnection of the coaxial line or otherwise disrupting service. A precise oval area of the outer jacket and shield is removed along with a controlled depth penetration of the dielectric material surrounding the center conductor in the area of the cable where the coaxial cable tap is to be positioned. The tap coupling block has a groove fitting the cable outer surface and a retaining cover, attached by screws, that, as tightened down forcing the cable down into the groove, a coaxial center probe is forced through the dielectric and into the center conductor. At the same time conductive contact members are brought into contact with the coaxial conductive shield thereby establishing an electrical path between the coaxial shield and the metallic body of the tap coupling block.

Abstract: An electronic fuel control device is used to activate a fuel system carried on board a motor vehicle independently of a computer system carried on board the vehicle. The fuel control device embodies an electrical circuit to create an output of a series of pulses of electrical energy. Electrical power is carried to the electrical circuit by electrical supply conducting apparatus. The pulses of electrical energy are transported from the electrical circuit to the fuel injecting system by electrical pulse conducting apparatus connected to the fuel injecting system.
