Abstract: Packoff seals and processes for using same. In some examples, the packoff seal can include a first end cap and a second end cap, a first insert and a second insert, a first deformable element disposed between the first end cap and the first insert, a second deformable element disposed between the second insert and the second end cap, and a third deformable element disposed between the first insert and the second insert. The first end cap, the first deformable element, the first insert, the third deformable element, the second insert, the second deformable element, and the second end cap together can form a body having a bore extending therethrough. The first deformable element, the second deformable element, and the third deformable element can have a compressive strength that is less than a compressive strength of the first and second inserts.

Abstract: Electrical conductors and processes for making and using same. In some examples, the electrical conductors can include an inner electrically conductive element, which can define a central longitudinal axis. A first polymer layer can be disposed circumferentially about the inner electrically conductive element. A plurality of electrical conductor segments can be disposed about the first polymer layer and spaced around the central longitudinal axis. A second polymer layer can be disposed between the electrical conductor segments. The second polymer layer and the electrical conductor segments together can define a substantially annular cross-sectional area and an outer perimeter surface. An electrical insulator can be disposed about the outer perimeter surface defined by the second polymer layer and the electrical conductor segments.

Abstract: Cable termination assemblies and processes for making and using same. In some examples, the cable termination assembly can include a lower housing and a rope socket housing can be disposed at least partially within a lower housing bore defined by a lower housing inner surface. At least one rope socket retainer can be disposed at least partially within a rope socket bore defined by an inner surface of the rope socket housing. The rope socket housing and rope socket retainer can be configured to secure the rope socket housing to a first set of armor wires of a cable, extending at least partially through the rope socket bore, while leaving interstitial gaps between individual armor wires of the first set of armor wires. A filler can be disposed between the individual armor wires of the first set of armor wires that at least partially fills the interstitial gaps.

Abstract: An apparatus that provides a continuous one-piece drip edge for a roof that not only protects from water damage, but also protects the roofing material at the rake and eaves from peeling as well as offer protection from wind, snow and ice and any other weather conditions that commonly strip roofing material from a roof surface.
