Abstract: A draw cord engagement system and method are disclosed herein. The draw cord engagement system, in an embodiment, includes a support, a cord holder moveably coupled to the support, a first engager moveably coupled to the support, and a second engager moveably coupled to the support. The draw cord engagement system is configured to enable a first repositioning of the first engager relative to the second engager, resulting in a first setting. The draw cord engagement system is also configured to enable a second repositioning of at least the second engager relative to the support while the first setting remains unchanged.

Abstract: An archery release device has, in an embodiment, a body, a base, a support, a bowstring holder and a driver. The base is pivotally coupled to the body, and the support holds or supports the bowstring holder. The bowstring holder is pivotally coupled to the support. The support is configured to be slid relative to the base in response to an action of the driver.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a simplified electric submersible pump (ESP) system for installation into a borehole, regardless of whether a caisson is formed in the borehole or whether an internal volume under a cap of a housing with the ESP is pressurized. A frame with associated ESP equipment can be mounted over the borehole. The ESP system can allow direct access to the ESP without having to lift the frame or a housing surrounding the ESP for maintenance and repair. A bypass provides flow during the period in which the ESP in non-operational.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in determining the pinion angle of the differential or transmission of a motor vehicle includes an attachment which is detachably mountable to the input shaft or the output shaft. A camber gauge having longitudinal levels is detachably mounted to the attachment to measure the attitude of the differential or the transmission to which it is mounted.

Abstract: Apparatus for use in aligning the differential input shaft of a race car with the transmission output shaft includes a transmission attachment and a differential attachment, each of which is detachably mountable to the race car. Each attachment includes a laser mounted centrally in a plate which is mounted substantially perpendicular to the transmission and the differential respectively. The laser mounted to the transmission emits a light beam coaxial to the transmission output shaft and the laser mounted to the differential emits a light beam coaxial to the differential input shaft. By adjusting the differential and transmission relative to each other such that the laser beams do not intersect, the differential and the transmission are aligned for optimum performance. A camber gauge may be substituted for the laser in either plate to measure the attitude of the differential or the transmission.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for hydraulically controlling subsea well equipment, such as valve operators, connectors, and other hydraulically actuated devices, with a significantly smaller number of hydraulic pressure source lines from the surface to the subsea location of said well equipment and for providing return signals to indicate the state of operation of said well equipment using the same hydraulic lines. The apparatus includes a plurality of hydraulic AND-gate logic elements and a plurality of hydraulic valves mounted near the well equipment. A pair of hydraulic lines between the hydraulic valves and a surface vessel or other surface facility provides control for the various valve operators, connectors and other hydraulically actuated devices, while a third hydraulic line provides power to operate the various devices. The same pair of control lines can be used to transmit signal information from the various devices on the sea floor to the surface vessel to indicate the operating status of these devices.

Abstract: A swivel joint for incorporation in a pipe network maintains flow path integrity at the joint for both swivel and rigid connection modes. A butt flange and a connector body having aligned flow paths therethrough are coupled together by a bearing which provides rotational movement between the butt flange and the connector body. A dynamic seal is disposed between the butt flange and the bearing. A retainer between the bearing and the connector body allows axial movement therebetween when the connector body is urged toward the butt flange, but restrains such axial movement when the connector body is urged away from the butt flange. A static seal carried by the butt flange and axially spaced from the connector body in the swivel mode is engaged by the connector body when the latter is moved axially toward the butt flange, thereby establishing the rigid connection mode.
