Abstract: An enclosure is disclosed which is highly secure, permits access to a cabled network system only by one user at a time, permits visual and unequivocal observation of the security status of the enclosure, and prevents access to the interior thereof only by authorized persons. The enclosure has back, front and side walls and an interior, with all connections being internal. Limited interior access is provided only through a door and a service opening. Within the enclosure is a system connection device to the system, which is configured for access thereto by only a single user at a time. A lock secures door closure. Thus access to the cabled system through the enclosure is available only to one user at a time and must be obtained through the open door, with usage thereby being visually identifiable, and the door prevents unauthorized access.

Abstract: A bearing, such as a plain spherical self-aligning bearing, has a reinforced low-friction woven plastics element (for example comprising ptfe) which is in sliding contact with a very hard, very smooth counterface. The bearing exhibits reduced wear when subjected to low-stress, small-amplitude motions.
