A tractal erectile device is disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes a hollow vessel having a first opening for receiving an organ, and a second opening for releasing fluid from within the vessel. The hollow vessel may include: an integral smooth lip portion surrounding the first opening for receiving an organ; an elongated cylindrical portion connected to the lip portion, an hour-glass portion connected to the elongated portion, and an ellipsoid shaped end portion including the second opening for releasing fluid from within the vessel.

A method of tying over an individual customer service connection from a live outer gas main to an inner gas main inserted within the liver outer gas main comprises defining a generally annular region within the space between the inner and outer mains. The region is upstream from the customer service connection between the customer service connection and the source of gas for the outer main. The sidewall of the outer main is opened intermediate the ends of the region, and an amount of a high-density liquid foaming composition sufficient to fill the region is introduced into the opening. The foaming composition is permitted to foam and harden to a plug in the region. Before the foaming composition is permitted to foam and harden, a first end of a first conduit is inserted into the opening, and pushed into the space so that the first end lies upstream from the region. A section of outer main downstream from the region is then removed and the new customer service connection is placed through the sidewall of the inner main exposed by cutting away the outer main.

A pipe slitter comprises a base for fixing the slitter to a pipe to be slit thereby. The base includes a pair of end plates for mounting transversely of the pipe and a carriage guide for coupling the end plates to each other. The carriage guide extends longitudinally of the pipe. The carriage guide movably supports a first carriage. A second carriage movably supports a slitter blade. The second carriage is movably supported on the first carriage for movement of the slitter blade longitudinally and transversely of the pipe.

A method for inserting a smaller cross sectional area, higher pressure fluid conduit or 'main' into a larger cross sectional area, lower pressure fluid main, includes inserting a length of smaller diameter gas main into a length of larger diameter gas main while the larger diameter gas main remains pressurized with the gas. The method includes providing a parallel gas pathway from a section of larger diameter main upstream toward the gas supply from the length of larger diameter main into which the smaller diameter main is to be inserted.

A pipe slitter comprises a base for fixing the slitter to a pipe to be slit thereby. The base includes a pair of end plates for mounting transversely of the pipe and a pair of connecting rods for coupling the end plates to each other. The connecting rods extend longitudinally of the pipe. A carriage supports a slitter blade. The carriage is movably supported on the base for movemenet longitudinally of the pipe. The slitter blade is movably supported on the carriage for movement transversely of the pipe.

A method of producing a conjugated diene polymer comprising polymerizing monomers comprising at least one conjugated diene hydrocarbon under solution polymerization conditions such that substantially all of said monomers are polymerized, terminating the thus formed polymer to deactivate substantially all of the active polymer lithium, and then polymerizing additional portions of said monomers in solution with at least a portion of the terminated polymer under conditions such that substantially all of said additional monomers are polymerized.

Solution polymerization of conjugated dienes

A carboxylate component is introduced into an alkali metal initiated polymer by means of a sequence in which an epoxy compound is reacted with the polymer followed directly by contact with a cyclic acid anhydride to produce a polymer composition having a carboxylate salt group. The resulting composition can then be hydrolyzed to produce carboxy-containing polymer which is useful in applications such as sheet molding compounds.

A pipeline crawler mechanism for increasing the effective length of smaller-diameter gas main which can be inserted into an existing larger-diameter gas main utilizing the techniques described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,845,789 and 4,090,534. The mechanism for extending the length of such an insertion includes two self-centering carriers for insertion into the larger-diameter gas main. Each carrier includes an apparatus for attaching a semirigid rod to it so that the carrier may be pushed into the larger-diameter gas main section to a distance determined by the flexibility, weight, etc., of the rod. Each carrier includes a coupler. One coupler includes a male member and the other includes a female member. When the carriers approach each other from opposite ends of the larger-diameter main section upon which an insertion is being conducted, the couplers automatically couple, permitting both carriers and both lengths of the semirigid fiberglass rod to be pulled back toward one end of the larger-diameter main section. Since the length and flexibility of the rod generally determines the maximum length of main section upon which an insertion can be conducted at once, the length of main section upon which an insertion can be conducted at one time is effectively doubled using the crawler.

An electrically powered pipeline crawler for use in conducting an insertion of a smaller-diameter, high-pressure gas main section into a section of lower-pressure, larger-diameter gas main. The pipeline crawler is sealed, so that it can be used to conduct insertion procedures in live gas main sections. Thus, service to customers along a main section upon which such an insertion is being conducted need not be interrupted. The pipeline crawler provides the added flexibility of permitting an insertion to be conducted on a several city block long section, without having to divide the several block long section into smaller sections of one to three blocks in length. Fewer access holes to the main need be dug, so there is less traffic disruption and the like.

A fitting for insertion of an elongated member, such as a semirigid rod, axially into the end of a live gas main section. The fitting comprises a housing defining a passageway opening which extends axially through the housing. The housing provides, at its opposite ends, exterior and interior openings. The housing is mounted on the main end with the interior opening sealingly engaging and in coaxial registry with the main end. The housing further provides a channel extending generally transaxially of the fitting between the exterior and interior openings. Two closure members are disposed in the channel and are selectively movable therein for increasing and decreasing the size of the passageway opening. The closure members include cooperating gate members and gaskets which define an aperture extending axially of the fitting. The gaskets provide a perimetral seal for the aperture. The aperture has a cross section substantially equal to the cross section of the elongated member. The cooperating gate members and gaskets seal the main end when the elongated member is inserted through the exterior and interior openings and into the main end and the closure members are closed about it. The fitting and semirigid rod are primary apparatus used in inserting a smaller diameter, high pressure plastic gas main into the live gas main. Grease chambers, wire feeds and nipples of various types are used in combination with the fitting to carry out the insertion of the smaller diameter main.
