Abstract: A device for energizing the electronic digital display found on current kilowatt hour meters in order to read the digital display of meters that have been removed from their site location that is simple to operate. The device would allow service personnel even those inexperienced with kilowatt hour meters to read the meter even if they are located in remote areas. In particular, the structure of the device will enable service personnel or the local utility office to read the meter without having to locate an energized meter socket with the correct terminal arrangement and correct voltage, or to taking the meter to an off-site meter test shop. The device generally incorporates a 13 terminal kilowatt hour meter socket and a six terminal kilowatt hour meter socket which are connected to a 120 volt power source through a step-up transformer.

Abstract: A reamer used in earth boring by the rotary method includes a body having a plurality of sockets in its outer periphery. Upper and lower blocks are disposed in the socket for supporting a shaft. A roller is rotatably mounted on the shaft with the inner periphery of the roller and the outer periphery of the shaft providing bearings for the roller. The shaft has an upper annular shoulder with a downwardly facing sealing surface disposed above the bearings. Upper and lower seals are disposed above and below the bearings with the upper seals having a facing seal sealingly engaging the roller and the downwardly facing sealing surface on the shoulder of the shaft.

Abstract: A target release system, particularly suited for use in simulating the hunting of wild game, characterized by a portable signal transmitter for transmitting detectable signals in a terrestrial space environment, a plurality of visually secluded signal receivers for singly detecting signals transmitted by said transmitter, and a target release subsystem connected with each of the signal receivers for releasing at least one target in response to transmitted signals detected by the receiver.
