Abstract: A post system for use in fall protection includes a connector to connect to a structure and a support in operative connection with a lifeline to maintain the lifeline at a first height above the structure. When a first threshold force is experienced on the lifeline, the support is operable to lower the lifeline to a second height which is lower than the first height. The ratio of a change in effective length of the lifeline resulting from the lowering of the lifeline to a change in height resulting from lowering of the lifeline (or the ?L/?H ratio) is less than 1. The ratio of the change in effective length of the lifeline resulting from the lowering of the lifeline to the change in height resulting from lowering of the lifeline may also be less than 0.5 or less than 0.4.

Abstract: An energy absorber includes a monolithic length of ductile material comprising a first end and a second end. The material is formed to include at least a first longitudinally extending section that extends continuously between the ends, a first discontinuous section extending longitudinally from the first end toward the second end and at least a second discontinuous section extending longitudinally from the second end toward the first end. The first longitudinally extending section is deformed over at least a portion thereof out of a plane running through both ends. The first discontinuous section and the second discontinuous section are connected such that tensile force of a threshold magnitude is required between the ends to disconnect the first discontinuous section from the second discontinuous section, letting the first longitudinally extending section free to deform under tensile force and extend in longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A compression sleeve carrying system for mobile electronic devices such as cell phones that are between 3.5 inches wide and 6.5 inches long, with or without an additionally attached phone case. The carrying sleeve has a pocket for key, credit card, and money storage. The sleeve employs an elastic system that connects four corner brackets in which each corner of the phone sits in. Elastic weaves through the corner brackets and through the a patch system. The patch system is attached to a stretchable fabric under the brackets and the patch system is sewn into the arm sleeve to prevent sweat from getting to the phone. The phone retention space stretches based off of the size of the phone and the brackets have a 0.5 inch space that fits both cell phones or other cell phone size and devices.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a compression shirt or compression sleeve or jacket sleeve with a carry system for cell phones, and more particularly to wallets useful for organizing, carrying, and displaying essential items. The brackets and arm bands are so designed that the user can use the device visual display and data entry area while the device is attached to the user's arm.
