It consists of three or four cam s mounted on a common axle or two adjacent axles, so that pulling on the axle forces the cams to spread farther apart.

At this point the climbing rope can be attached to a sling climbing equipment sling and carabiner at the end of the stem. A pull on the rope, such as that generated by a climber falling, will cause a properly placed SLCD to convert the pulling force along the stem of the unit into outwards pressure on the rock, generating massive amounts of friction and preventing the removal of the unit from the rock. Because of the large forces which are exerted on the rock when an SLCD is fallen on, it is very important that SLCDs are only placed in solid, strong rock. ref name freedom cite book edition 7 editor Cox, Steven M. and Kris Fulsaas, ed. title Mountaineering The Freedom of the Hills publisher The Mountaineers isbn ... so that a load produces a rotational force, the logarithmic cam shape allowed for a single device to fit ....

nofootnotes date January 2011 A relocking device RLD a.k.a. external relocker is an auxiliary locking device intended to be activated during an attempted burglary of a safe or vault. Such a device will keep a safe or vault locked even if the primary lock is defeated. This independent mechanism is designed to maintain the locked state of a safe even if the lock itself is destroyed. This auxiliary locking device usually consists of a spring loaded bolt of some type, held in check by a bracket or cable that is rigged to release the mechanism in a burglary attempt. The device will either block the main boltwork from retracting or block the door from opening. Glass relockers are one of the most common types of relockers used in todays safes. Thermal relocking devices Designed as a defense against torch attacks, these are simply relocking devices equipped with a fusible link designed to melt and release the relocking device if the temperature inside the door exceeds a certain temperature usually 65 C , as would happen in a torch attack. Glass relocking devices A glass relocking device is a piece of glass, usually tempered, placed where it might be expected to break in a burglary attack. It is attached, usually with wires, to one or more spring loaded bolts, which are often randomly located. A drill or torch may break the glass, releasing the bolts.

In the Linux kernel , the device mapper serves as a generic Software framework framework to map one block device onto another. It forms the foundation of LVM2 and Enterprise Volume Management System EVMS , software RAID s, dm crypt disk encryption, and offers additional features such as file system Snapshot computer storage snapshots . Device mapper works by processing data passed in from a virtual block device , that it itself provides, and then passing the resultant data on to another block device. Applications Applications like LVM2 and Enterprise Volume Management System EVMS that need to create new mapped devices talk to the device mapper via the libdevmapper.so Library computer science shared library , which in turn issues ioctl s to the dev mapper control device node .
