Abstract:

Communications connectors communicatively and physically join a plurality of network elements. Communications connectors are substantially flangeless so as to provide a substantially continuous surface between the connector and network elements joined thereto. Communications connectors may include or be modified with a grounding surface or a seating member. Communications connectors include a variety of communicative contact surfaces and joining mechanisms, including those compatible with known 7/16 DIN connections. Methods include installing network elements to connection interfaces on connectors without the use of a flange or other exterior part. Methods optionally include applying an adhesive to connection interfaces to provide a breakable, locked connection between network elements and connectors.

Abstract:

Strap for carrying a load from a person's shoulder, comprising a flexible band forming a relatively larger, upper loop for passing over the person's shoulder and a relatively smaller, lower loop for attaching the load, wherein the upper and lower loops are connected to form a figure eight. The lower loop includes a buckle for opening the lower loop to receive the load and closing the lower loop to capture the load within the lower loop. Another embodiment is directed to the combination of (1) an infant seat having a base, a bedding region within the base, and a handle projecting from the base over the bedding region, and (2) a flexible band forming a relatively smaller lower loop including a buckle for opening and closing the lower loop to capture the handle, and a relatively larger, upper loop for passing over the person's shoulder, whereby the infant seat with infant therein is fully supportable from the person's shoulder when the upper loop lies over the person's shoulder.
