Abstract: A normally-closed electromagnetic relay which may be used in controlling a supply of electric current to an automotive engine starter. The electromagnetic relay is equipped with a resistor (7) and a short circuit. The short circuit is created by closing of relay contacts (27,28,29) when a relay coil (19) is energized to establish an electric connection between ends of the resistor to supply the current from a battery (6) to an electric motor (3) without flowing through the resistor and opened by opening of the relay contacts when the relay coil is deenergized to supply the electric current from the battery to the electric motor through the resistor. If a motor drive signal line leading to the electromagnetic relay is disconnected when the relay coil is kept energized, it will cause the short circuit to be established to ensure the supply of current to the motor, which also avoids the melting down of the resistor.

Abstract: A seal assembly (10) for use between wellbore tubulars employs an inner seal ring (24) partially circumscribed by an outer seal ring (32). The seal rings are axially slidable with respect to one another and can be made from pliable inelastic materials such as graphite or a fluoropolymer. The seal rings contact one another along profiled surfaces (34,30) that are angled such that by axially urging the seal rings towards one another produces a bulge in the seal assembly directed radially outwards and inwards. The bulging seal rings come into contact with opposing sides of the wellbore tubulars (12,14) to define a sealing surface (52). Axial supports at opposing lateral ends of the seal rings maintain the seal between the tubulars.
