Abstract: A connector system to provide electrical connections can include a base and a plug. The base can include a base body, a base bore that can extend axially into the base body along a base axis, a lay-in slot that can open at a sidewall of the base body, and a base conductor channel that can be formed by the lay-in slot and intersects the base bore. The plug can have a first end that can be sized to be received in the base bore. The base conductor channel can receive a longitudinal portion of a conductor into the lay-in slot so that the conductor extends through the base conductor channel to intersect the base bore. In an assembled configuration, the first end of the plug can extend into the base bore, aligned with the conductor along the base axis to deform the conductor in the axial direction.

Abstract: A burial casket has a base portion with a plurality of locking element openings and a top having a plurality of locking elements depending downwardly. A hanger-supporting member is affixed to a lower surface of the top rim of said base, and has a plurality of locking element openings aligned with the locking element openings. Opposed flanges of hangers are disposed in recesses of the hangar-supporting member. A locking bar extends through the hangers. When the top is closed, each locking element extends through one of the locking element openings and through one of the aligned locking element openings. The locking bar engages the plurality of locking elements to restrain the top in closed position. A decorative material-supporting member depends downwardly from the hanger-supporting member.

Abstract: A burial casket with a through-fitting on a curved corner of the casket has a hole in the curved corner of the casket with a rim that has a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface. The through-fitting disposed within the hole has a body portion with a through hole along an axis and a concave, shape-conforming shoulder portion. The shoulder portion is in contact with and conforms to the convex outer surface of the rim of the hole. A neck portion of the through-fitting extends axially from the shoulder portion and through the hole. The neck portion has a radially-outwardly extending integral flange portion that conforms to and is in contact with the concave inner surface of said hole substantially around an entire periphery of the hole. The body portion is integral and in one piece or is an assembly of inner and outer tubes. The integral flange is formed by directing a shape-conforming crimping tool against a concave, shape-conforming end face of the neck portion of the through-fitting.

The through-fitting disposed within the hole has a body portion with a through hole along an axis and a concave, shape-conforning shoulder portion. The shoulder portion is in contact with and conforms to the convex outer surface of the rim of the hole. A neck portion of the through-fitting extends axially from the shoulder portion and through the hole. The neck portion has a radially-outwardly extending integral flange portion that conforms to and is in contact with the concave inner surface of said hole substantially around an entire periphery of the hole. The body portion is integral and in one piece or is an assembly of inner and outer tubes. The integral flange is formed by directing a shape-conforming crimping tool against a concave, shape-comforming end face of the neck portion of the through-fitting.

Abstract: An owl hooter game call having dual sound chambers arranged in series therein where each sound chamber has a centrally disposed air passage therethrough and one of the sound chambers having a diameter which is larger than the diameter of the other sound chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus which comprises an upper sub for connectable engagement with the wire line, a microprocessor component for directing the various functions of the overall apparatus down hole; a motor section having a plurality of thrust directional motors and ball screw assembly for movement of steering gates; a motor driven impeller means for providing thrust and flow through a portion of the apparatus and in combination with the flow gates providing steering in a certain direction; an electrical transducer portion for providing ultrasonic vibrations around the circumference of the apparatus in discongealing molecular substrate adjacent the apparatus; a mechanical vibration coil assembly means on the lower end of the apparatus for discongealing larger areas of congealing in a substrate around the apparatus, and a lower sub for connectably engaging the electrical logging unit to be steered down hole.
