Abstract: A cable terminator assembly for a coaxial cable includes a housing having a raided extension affixed thereto for transferring tensile strength from a cable to the housing and braided extension. An inner cylindrical piece is swaged to the housing for holding the braided extension in place. A dielectric clamp with a closure ring, flat locking washer and cap complete the components within the termination. The washer is keyed to the housing and, together with the housing, clamp the stranded cable conductor. The keying prevents turning of the mating components so that the stranded cable conductor will not be damaged. The clamping of the strands makes electrical contact between the strands and the assembly. The dielectric clamp is forced to bite into the dielectric material of the coaxial cable. This provides a firm mechanical hold.

Abstract: The identification device takes the form of a plastic holder worn about a patient's wrist in the manner of a wristwatch. The holder itself has a fluorescent coating on the top surface emitting light. A patient identification card is positioned on this fluorescent surface, the identification card being perforated with a patient identifying number. The emitted light from the fluorescent material thus shines up through the perforations in this number. Any particular procedure to be carried out on the patient is directed in an appropriate order blank signed by a physician or other hospital personnel. Such order blank for the patient includes the patient's identification number which number is also perforated on the order blank. By then positioning the order blank portion upon which the number is perforated over the patient's identifying number in the holder, if the numbers are the same, the light will then pass through both the perforations.
