Abstract: A below ground enclosure for retaining cable and cable components, wherein the below ground enclosure is pressurizable and the components may be mounted on a vertically actuated rack to be movable between a retracted position inside the enclosure and an extended position above ground. A cooperating lock and valving system is employed to permit pressurization of the enclosure from an internal pressurized gas source upon sealing and locking of the enclosure, and for venting the enclosure upon initiation of the unlocking procedure.

Abstract: An enclosure for our door electronics having an underground ground sleeve for providing a heat exchanger between the surrounding ground and a first fluid circuit. The enclosure also includes an ambient single pass fluid circuit. The geothermal fluid circuit is substantially closed such that approximately 20% or less of the volume in the closed circuit is exchanged during circulation.

Abstract: A registration system for repeatably beginning modulation of a scanning laser beam at a selected initial location on a rotatable drum through initiating a rotation of the drum from a known starting position in synchronism with the laser scan so that the initial location is accurately brought under the laser beam as modulation begins.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for forging a wrenching socket in the end of a fastener which permit the production of such fasteners from materials which are difficult to forge, such as titanium and some high strength steels. A cylindrical preliminary socket is formed in the end of the blank forming the fastener with a punch having a circular cross section. The preliminary socket is sized to be at least as great as the maximum lateral dimension of the finished wrenching socket required. Subsequently, a tool having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the required finished socket is positioned in the preliminary socket and the material of the blank is extruded inwardly against the tool to form a cylindrical exterior surface and a finished socket having a non-circular cross section. With this invention, even very small hexagonal sockets can be formed in titanium fasteners.

Abstract: A copy machine for reproducing original size, reduced or magnified copies of an original document is disclosed. The original document is supported on a transparent support surface. An optical scanning system is moved past the original document and an image of the document is transmitted to a photosensitive surface which is moved at constant speed. The speed of the optical scanning system is related to the magnification ratio. The scanning system is driven by a plurality of cams mounted upon a common cam shaft. Scanning speed is selected by coupling the scanning system to one of the plurality of cams.
