Changes in altitude, temperature, humidity and geographic location create a "vacuum lock" which can effectively seal a case shut. [The] integrated auto-pressure valve equalizes this atmospheric pressure difference. Using state-of-the art technology, the micro vent allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering. 2, record 1, English, - automatic%20pressure%20release%20valve

The mule knot is a load-releasable knot that allows you to tie off an injured climber to your belay device so you can free your hands to perform a belay escape. You can also use the mule knot to tie off a hanging climber so you don’t have to hold his or her weight. 2, record 2, English, - mule%20knot

The mule knot to lock the rope off.... Pass a bight of dead rope(i. e. the one that is not under tension) through the belay carabiner to form a loop.

[A tie rod cylinder] is held together with four additional longitudinal rods, which extend the full length of the barrel and pass through holes in each corner of a square flange in the end caps of the cylinder. The ends of the rods are threaded and the whole assembly(cylinder barrel, ends, seats, etc.) is held together with lock washers and nuts. In some designs, instead of passing through holes in flanges in the ends of the cylinder, the tie rods are actually a long bolt. The threaded end of the bolts pass through a non-threaded hole in one cylinder end and screw into a tapped hole in the other. 2, record 3, English, - tie%20rod%20cylinder
