Method of spooling a bi-metallic pipe
A method of spooling a marine pipeline (90) including a plurality of bi-metallic pipe sections (10) (66) onto a reel (60) including at least the steps of: (a) filling a first pipe section with a fluid (12); (b) spooling the first pipe section onto the reel; (c) filling a second pipe section with a fluid (78); (d) joining the first pipe section with the second pipe section wherein at least one of the first and second pipe sections maintains the fluid (12,78) therein; and (e) spooling the second pipe section onto the reel.
Heating Coil Production System
A heating coil production system for producing heating coils for electronic vaporizers includes a conductor that has a first end and a second end. An anchor is provided and the anchor is selectively positioned on a support surface. The second end of the conductor is removably coupled to the anchor. A rotation unit is provided and the rotation unit is selectively positioned on the support surface and the rotation unit is selectively turned on and off. The first end of the conductor is selectively coupled to the rotation unit and the rotation unit twists the conductor into a coil when the rotation unit is turned on. The resulting coil is positioned in an electronic smoking device for a heating element.

CABLE RETENTION SYSTEM FOR PORTABLE DEVICE
A cable retention system including a support strap having first and second outer connectors and first and second inner connectors coupled to a flexible member, wherein the first inner connector is positioned between the first outer connector and the second inner connector and the second inner connector is positioned between the second outer connector and the first inner connector, and a portable device including first and second outer connector attachment points and first and second inner connector attachment points, wherein the first and second outer connectors of the support strap are connected to first and second outer connecter attachment points, respectively, and first and second inner connectors of the support strap are connected to first and second inner connecter attachment points, respectively, wherein a linear distance between the first and second outer connector attachment points is less than a linear distance between the first and second inner connector attachment points.
Center-pull dispenser system
A dispensing cap for a dispensing system may be adapted for dispensing a roll of longitudinally extending material arranged in a center-pull configuration. The dispensing cap may include a dispensing orifice. A first rim having an inner edge may define a wide end of the dispensing orifice. A second rim having an outer edge may define a narrow end of the dispensing orifice. One or more sidewalls may extend between the inner edge of the first rim and the outer edge of the second rim and define the dispensing orifice between the wide end and the narrow end. The dispensing cap may further include a dispensing slot that defines an opening through the second rim.

Cable retainers for packaging
Cable retainers for cables are disclosed. The cable retainers may include a panel having a pair of loop locks. The loop locks may engage each other to form a loop. The cable retainer may include a first and a second retention loop. Each retention loop may have a finger with a slot formed at a fold line of the finger. Each retention loop may also have a flap with a tab formed at a fold line of the flap. The finger and the flap of the first retention loop may be located directly across the panel from one another. The finger of the second retention loop may be located at a first end of the panel while the flap of the second retention loop may be located at a second end of the panel. The tabs and slots of each retention loop may interlock to form a rectangular cable passage. The cable may also include a reinforcement structure disposed in a retention loop. The reinforcement structure may be stepped reinforcement structure. The cable retainer may be formed entirely of paper and may be formed without and adhesive.
