A tree cap has a wedge type annular metal seal for capping and sealing a subsea tree and associated methods to energize the same. The tree cap includes a cam element having a lower end with a conical profile adapted to be disposed within a respective bore of the subsea tree. The cam element moves along an axis of the bore. The annular metal seal is disposed on an outer diameter of the cam element so that the cam element may compress the annular metal seal against an actuation member to seal the bore of the subsea tree. The tree cap includes a housing adapted to be disposed on and secure to the subsea tree. The housing carries the cam element and exerts an axial force on the cam element to deform the annular metal seal into sealing engagement between the tree cap and the subsea tree.

Systems and methods disclosed herein may be useful for use in landing identification. In this regard, a method is provided comprising receiving pulse information over a first time period, wherein the pulse information is indicative of an angular distance traveled by a first wheel, comparing the pulse information to a threshold value, and determining a likelihood of a landing event based upon the comparison. In various embodiments, a system is provided comprising a monstable multivibrator in electrical communication with a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), a resistor-capacitor network in electrical communication with the MOSFET, and a comparator that receives a voltage from the resistor-capacitor network and a reference voltage.

A coition activated inflatable reservoir condom. The condom comprises a various number of inflatable tubular portions on its shaft and an anterior inflatable dome. A fluid filled reservoir attached to the base of the condom to supply the fluid into the inflatable portions by body pressure between the users. One handheld pump with a tube connected to the reservoir as the source of additional fluid for the reservoir. One receiving empty container with a relief valve also is included to release the fluid from the inflated portions and to reduce the size of the condom during the intercourse per users' discretion. This invention is a condom that provides for an enhanced sexual experience.

To achieve a large thickness of conductive metal-containing material in a feature of a product unit processed with a liquid-based etch process, the desired thickness of material is apportioned to the two opposing surfaces of a substrate to create a two-part feature. Conventional features are made by identically patterning two same-thickness metal-containing layers and electrically connecting the resulting patterned parts in any suitable manner. However, features may also be made that do not have identical parts on opposite sides of the substrate, the two parts being electrically connected but differing in thickness, in shape, or both Moreover, having two metal-containing layers separated by an insulator is also useful for allowing different sections of the same feature or circuit to cross one another without shorting, or to overlap in whole or in part without shorting.
