Abstract: A choker cable having its end portions encapsulated by ferrules, wherein the cable wire ends extend at least to the distal ends of the ferrule sleeves, and wherein the wire ends are all fused into a mushroom shaped cap structure and wherein peripheral portions of the cap structure overlie the distal ends of the ferrule sleeves.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing for the presence of a drug is provided. The apparatus includes a first drug testing reagent, a first ampule, a vessel that contains the first ampule, and a fracturing means. The first drug testing reagent contains a controlled substance detecting chemical reagent. The vessel serves as a mixing chamber for mixing the reagents with the test subject fluid. Further, the vessel may include a transparent wall through which changes in coloration of mixtures of test subject fluids and reagents may be viewed. The vessel may also comprise a test subject fluid injection port to allow for the injection of a test subject fluid into the vessel. The vessel may also contain means for fracturing the ampule without damaging or opening the vessel. A method for conducting a drug test is also provided.
