Abstract: A winch system includes a truck that has a bed and the bed has a pair of spaced lateral walls. A winching unit is coupled to the truck. The winching unit includes a bar that has a telescopically adjustable length and the bar extends between the spaced lateral walls. The winching unit may be coupled to an object. Thus, the winching unit may urge the object into the bed thereby facilitating the truck to transport the object.

Abstract: A device for supporting a wire on a post, having a body with a base portion and two arm portions which extend away from the base portion generally in the same direction. A wire receiving opening is formed between the two arm portions. To use the device, it is affixed to a post at one arm portion and with the opening upwardly open. The wire to be supported is then inserted into the opening, between the arm portions, after which the arm portion which is not affixed to the post is deformed inwardly towards the post to substantially close the opening around the wire so that the wire is captured by the device.

Abstract: A transducer for converting fluid pressure into pneumatic pressure for relay to a remote readout station comprises a valve body having a chamber spanned by a diaphragm which divides the chamber into a pore-fluid pressure cavity and a transducer cavity. The pore-fluid pressure cavity is in communication with fluid pressure in the environment surrounding the buried valve body. Three ducts communicate with the transducer cavity. The diaphragm carries a centrally located resilient hemisphere within the transducer cavity in axial alignment with only one of said ducts which constitutes a vent from said transducer cavity.
