  • REFERENCE POINT LOCATOR
    Publication number: 20090243848
    Abstract: A reference point locator comprises a reference member and a receiver. The reference member includes an attachment element and a magnet. The attachment element is configured to releasably secure the reference member to one side of a structure. The receiver includes a sensor and an indicator. The indicator is configured to emit a signal in response to the sensor detecting from another side of the structure a magnetic field generated by the magnet.

  • Line retrieval system
    Patent number: 7156373
    Abstract: A line retrieval system comprises a line retriever adapted to magnetically couple to an object disposed within an enclosure through a wall of the enclosure such that the magnetic couple supports the line retriever adjacent the wall of the enclosure. The line retriever is adapted for movement relative to the enclosure in response to movement of the object within the enclosure toward an opening formed in the enclosure.
