Abstract: A gripper for manipulation of an elongate member includes a flexible sleeve for receiving the elongate member, the sleeve extends along a sleeve axis and has first and second opposite ends; a first clamping element is configured to receive and removably couple to the first end of the sleeve; and a second clamping element is configured to receive and removably couple to the second end of the sleeve. The sleeve has a first width at a first location when the first and second clamping elements have a first spacing along the sleeve axis and a second width at the first location when the first and second clamping elements have a second spacing along the sleeve axis which is less than the first spacing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a recording element which is suitable for producing high-resolution flexographic printing plates by means of digital information transmission and which can be imaged by means of actinic laser radiation, containing or consisting of the following layers: (A) a carrier film, (B) a photopolymerizable layer/relief layer which can be crosslinked by means of actinic radiation, (C) optionally an intermediate layer which is transparent to actinic radiation as a separating element, and (D) a template layer which is capable of recording and comprises a monomer diazonium compound or (Da) an imaged template layer. The invention likewise relates to a semi-finished product, to a method for producing the recording element, and to a method for producing flexographic printing plates.

Abstract: A soft, insulating cooler with a detachable strap for transporting and/or storing head and cape of a dead animal, for instance deer. A hinged lid is closable by a pair of overlapping zippers. A pair of openings are formed in the lid to allow antlers to extend therethrough. A tightening cord is positioned about the openings to tighten the openings around the antlers and preserve the temperature inside the cooler. The inside of the cooler contains pouches for ice of other cooling medium. The outside of the cooler carries a pouch or pouches to transport small items.
