Abstract: A pipeline network includes at least one housing comprising a riser and a pipeline connector, the housing adapted to receive a device configured to interact with fluid flowing through the pipeline connector. The riser is provided with a riser closure member that is attachable removably to the riser, and a seal adapted to provide a fluid tight seal between the riser and the riser closure member.

Abstract: Seals for gimbaling and/or fixed rocket engine nozzles, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. A representative rocket propulsion system includes a rocket engine having an exhaust nozzle, a seal plate carried by the exhaust nozzle, and a seal engaged with the seal plate. The seal includes at least one support, multiple pivotable first flaps, carried by the at least one support and positioned to contact the seal plate, and multiple pivotable second flaps, with an individual second flap positioned to shield a corresponding individual first flap. At least one forcing element is operatively coupled to at least one of the individual first flap or the individual second flap, to apply a pivoting force to the at least one of the individual first flap or the individual second flap.

Abstract: A cable clip comprises a body providing a cable receiving portion at one end thereof and a pin extending away from a longitudinal axis of the body.

Abstract: A cable clip having a body providing a cable receiving portion at one end thereof and a pin extending away from the longitudinal axis of the body. The cable receiving portion is v-shaped in cross-section, and the open side of the v-shaped section extends in a direction of the pin.

Abstract: Surfboard having an essentially elongate, flat basic body which is capable of floating and, during use, rests with its underside on the water, and on whose upper side there is provided a standing surface for the feet of the sports person using the board, and in which at least one fin is attached to the underside. An opening extending from the underside towards the upper side is provided in the basic body for receiving the said fin, whose extent in the transverse direction of the board, that is to say transversely to the direction of travel and transversely to the surface plane of the fin, is less than the cross-section of the fin; the outer edges of the fin cross-section at the connection point to the board are preferably designed in such a way that the outer edges rest essentially completely against the underside of the board.
