  • Patent number: 10172436
    Abstract: A system and method for attaching a device to a user includes securing a first plate to a user. The first plate can be secured to the user, for example, via one or more straps and/or a hook and loop fastener. The system and method further include securing a second plate to the first plate, wherein an article of the user's clothing is sandwiched in between the first plate and the second plate. The first plate and second plate may be secured to each other by a magnetic connection, by engagement of a sliding pin that pierces a portion of the first plate and the second plate, or a combination of a magnetic connection and an engagement of a sliding pin.

  • Patent number: 10041325
    Abstract: A high pressure closed gland unitized seal assembly for sealing against a connector pin in a box and pin seal used in a sub-sea riser joint assembly. The high pressure closed gland unitized seal assembly includes an elastomeric seal body having an inner diameter end and an outer diameter end formed of an elastomeric material having a first modulus of elasticity. The inner diameter end of the seal body includes two diametrically opposed axially outward base portions and an axially inward sealing portion. Integrated with the elastomeric material at the base portions of the inner diameter end of the seal body are a pair of diametrically opposed anti-extrusion rings having a modulus of elasticity that is higher than the modulus of elasticity of the elastomeric material so as to prevent the extrusion of the elastomeric seal body. The anti-extrusion rings are disposed between the elastomeric seal body and tightly wound coil springs.
