PORTABLE PIPE INSPECTION SYSTEMS & METHODS
An intelligent cable storage drum system for use in a pipe inspection system is disclosed. The system may include a cable storage drum, a video push-cable removably disposed on the cable storage drum, the video push-cable having a proximal end and a distal end, a video camera head having a camera output for providing analog or digital images or video output signals, and a transceiver module operatively coupled to the camera output for receiving the analog or digital images or video output signals and sending the received signals to a remote receiver.
Systems and methods for securing medical devices
A system comprises a substrate having a plurality of apertures, and a clip. The clip is removably coupled to one of the plurality of apertures. The clip has a body, a plurality of fingers, a first leg, a second leg, a first notch, and a second notch. The fingers extend from the body to collectively form at least two tube-engaging regions. The first leg is adjacent to a first end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The second leg is adjacent to a second end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The first notch is adjacent to the first end of the body and is configured to receive a first portion of the substrate. The second notch is adjacent to the second end of the body and is configured to receive a second portion of the substrate.
TV-INTEGRATED CABLE ORGANIZATION DEVICE
The present invention relates to a TV cable organization device and, particularly, to a TV-integrated cable organization device capable of neatly organizing messy cables by winding, around a cable winding part provided on the back panel of a TV, cables of the TV and peripheral devices connected to the TV such that the cables are organized.

TETHER CABLE SPOOLING APPARATUS
A remotely controlled, tethered vehicle system is comprised of a communication network interface, a system command and control module, a power source, a tether cable spooling apparatus and a remotely controlled vehicle that is tethered to the communication, control and power source by a cable that is controlled to be dispensed from or retracted into the spooling apparatus. The spooling apparatus has a spooling mechanism that is controlled to move the cable into and out of the spooling apparatus without using a slip ring device.
PARACORD DISPENSER AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
A cord dispenser includes a body having a body outer wall and an inner chamber. The inner chamber is operable to contain a length of cord, the cord having a first cord end. A retaining mechanism is rigidly affixed to the body outer wall of the dispenser. The retaining mechanism is sized to removably secure a light source. A first through-hole is disposed in the body through which the first cord end is operable to be extended and to be securely attached to the light source.
Cable retainers for packaging
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 retainer may be formed entirely of paper and may be formed without adhesive.
Automated Coiling System for Post-Tension Tendon
An automated coiling system for post-tension tendons, comprising a frame, a tendon feed device adapted to introduce a tendon of widely varying length into a coiler subassembly, a coiler subassembly adapted to grip and coil the tendon within a fixed volume having a predefined diameter; a plurality of wire tying devices adapted to securely tie a wire around the tendon bundle of widely varying diameter in a plurality of predetermined positions and cut the wire after tying; and a tendon ejector device adapted to urge a tied tendon bundle from the coiler assembly.
CABLE STORAGE
A cable storage has a stationary first deflection roller system, a second deflection roller system which is linearly movable relative to the first deflection roller system, and an electric cable which is looped around the first deflection roller system and the second deflection roller system. The cable storage has a mast on which the first deflection roller system and the second deflection roller system are arranged, and the cable storage has a base frame and a bolt connection arrangement. The bolt connection arrangement is oriented in a width direction of the base frame and formed on both sides of the mast for a releasable connection between the mast and the base frame. The bolt connection arrangement is formed on a mast foot, on both sides of the mast.
Closet auger
A closet auger includes an elongated casing member extending along an axis, a cable drum rotatably coupled to the elongated casing member, a drive coupling connected to the cable drum to rotate the cable drum about the axis, and a flexible cable having a first length stored within the cable drum and a second length extending through the casing member and out from the casing member. The closet auger also includes a feed assembly having a handle movable along the casing member and a plurality of gripping members carried by the handle. Each gripping member has a first end pivotally coupled to the handle and a second end biased radially outward from the handle. The plurality of gripping members is circumferentially spaced about the axis and operable to selectively engage the flexible cable to push the flexible cable into or pull the flexible cable out of the cable drum.
