Abstract: A punchdown tool for fitting wires into connectors including a housing with a front side, a back side, a front end, a rear end opposite the front end, a leading surface on the front end, and an interior defined between the front and back sides. The punchdown tool also includes a drive mechanism with a hammer, an anvil, and a drive spring. The drive mechanism is positioned in the interior of the housing adjacent the front end. The punchdown tool further includes a circuit board positioned in the interior of the housing adjacent the rear end with a controller. The punchdown tool also includes a light positioned on the leading surface of the housing that is electrically coupled to the controller and at least one battery positioned in the interior of the housing for supplying power to the light and the circuit board.

Abstract: Described herein is a fish tape reel comprising a housing with two side shells coupled together. The housing defines an internal cavity. An internal portion of the housing defines a plurality of flat gripping portions and a plurality of finger notches. The housing comprises a plurality of tabs in the internal cavity, the tabs interfacing against an inner annular portion that is coupled to the handle when the handle rotates around the housing.

Abstract: A cutting tool having a retractable blade and capable of being guided using a user's finger. The cutting tool comprises a handle portion having at a first end thereof a first elongated support member, a second elongated support member, and an open region therebetween. A second end of the handle portion is operatively connected to a first end of a sleeve portion. A second end of the sleeve portion has a blade exposing region. A blade carriage is slidably disposed within the sleeve portion and along a longitudinal axis thereof, and a blade is operatively connected to the blade carriage. The blade carriage can move between an extended position and a retracted position along the longitudinal axis of the sleeve portion. When the blade carriage is in the extended position, the blade extends outside of the sleeve portion adjacent the blade exposing region.

Abstract: An efficient, lightweight, and relatively inexpensive photolysis system based on a short-arc Hg arc lamp provides a simple and accurate method for measurement of ambient NO2. High time resolution is achieved by minimizing inlet and photolysis cell residence times and matching NO and NO2 sample paths, and data reduction is greatly simplified relative to conventional photolysis designs.
