The disclosed and claimed concept provides for an overmold that is applied to substantially all of the exposed portions of a wood handle for a tool.

Wood handle with overmold and method of manufacture

Methods and devices are provided for allowing upstream and downstream cable modem termination systems to be located in different physical locations. According to some embodiments of the invention, a downstream CMTS is located at a head end of a cable network and an upstream CMTS is located in each of a plurality of hubs in a cable network. Such a configuration provides more flexibility than prior art systems, especially when much of the traffic passing through the downstream CMTS is broadcast traffic, such as IP video, that will be passed to multiple hubs. Such configurations are more economical because they do not require every hub to have its own downstream CMTS. In preferred embodiments, the upstream and downstream functions are synchronized using a Global Positioning System ('GPS') reference source.

A universal profiling apparatus (10) is provided which has a work engaging member (20) which produces repetitive patterns on a work piece (18). The device includes a frame (12) and a work carrying means (16) mounted thereon, which carries the work piece (18) during the apparatus operation. This work carrying means (16) is rotated about a preselected axis with respect to the table itself. The work engaging member (20) is reciprocated along a preselected path while the work engaging member contacts the work piece. The work carrying means (16) can also be reciprocated. Each of these procedures can be performed manually or automatically. During the automatic mode of operation the movement of the work carrying means (16) and the work engaging member is synchronized for preselected and desired patterns in the work piece. These patterns may be of a one, two or three dimensional configuration.
