摘要： Disclosed herein is a tool for holding a fastener, such as a nail, screw, bolt or the like. The tool includes a handle attached to a mounting head that is specifically shaped to correspond with the shape of a fastener. Between the mounting head and the handle can be a bend that facilitates proper grasping of the handle by the hand of a user of the tool. The mounting head includes an engaging location defined by at least one locating guide. The engaging location can be an aperture or gap that substantially conforms to the shape of the fastener. The tool also includes at least one magnet to removably hold the fastener in the aperture. The tool can include a sleeve that can act as a grip, or protect the hand of a user from vibrational and electrical energy during use of the tool.

摘要： A method and apparatus for processing an optical fiber includes generating a continuous or pulsed arc in a first area wherein the arc creates a plasma in one or more gasses in the first area. The method further includes positioning a portion of the fiber in a second area adjacent to and outside of the plasma region, wherein coating material that is present on the optical fiber portion is removed when the plasma is present. Alternatively, in the case of a pulsed arc, the optical fiber portion may be positioned at least partially within the plasma region. The positioning step may be performed prior to or subsequent to the arc generating step. The method and apparatus may be utilized in a system that also strips and cleaves optical fibers. Also, a method for reducing the gap resistance between two electrodes by injecting negative ions into the area between the electrodes.
