Parent U.S. Appl. No. 11/572,203, filed Jan. 16, 2007. cited by applicant.
This application is a continuation of, and claims benefit of and priority to, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/572,203, filed Jan. 16, 2007 now U.S. Pat. No. 8,181,418, which is the United States National Stage of International Application No. PCT/US2005/025315, filed Jul. 15, 2005, which is a continuation of, and claims benefit of and priority to, U.S. Nonprovisional patent application Ser. No. 10/893,593, filed Jul. 15, 2004, each said patent application and any priority case hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
In other applications, a connection element (4) may be a flexible tie (8). This may be merely a tie that is substantially flexible, such as a tie that is substantially deformable in the course of conditions usually encountered. Under some circumstances, a connection element that is substantially deformable may include a folding tie, a pivot tie, an elastic tie, a wire tie, a monofilament tie, a frictional surface tie, or a flexible mesh tie. A folding tie may be a tie having a portion capable bending over upon itself. A pivot tie may be a tie having a point about which two or more portions of the tie may rotate. An elastic tie may be a tie capable of returning to its original configuration after being stretched, compressed, expanded, or otherwise deformed. A wire tie may be a tie configured as a cord, cable, or related structure. A monofilament tie may be a tie made of a single fibrous element. A frictional surface tie may be a tie in which two surfaces are joined at an interface that is resistive to motion. A flexible mesh tie may be a tie made of a substantially flexible network of interwoven or interlinked elements.
Further, each of the various elements of the invention and claims may also be achieved in a variety of manners. Additionally, when used or implied, an element is to be understood as encompassing individual as well as plural structures that may or may not be physically connected. This disclosure should be understood to encompass each such variation, be it a variation of an embodiment of any apparatus embodiment, a method or process embodiment, or even merely a variation of any element of these. Particularly, it should be understood that as the disclosure relates to elements of the invention, the words for each element may be expressed by equivalent apparatus terms or method terms--even if only the function or result is the same. Such equivalent, broader, or even more generic terms should be considered to be encompassed in the description of each element or action. Such terms can be substituted where desired to make explicit the implicitly broad coverage to which this invention is entitled. As but one example, it should be understood that all actions may be expressed as a means for taking that action or as an element that causes that action. Similarly, each physical element disclosed should be understood to encompass a disclosure of the action that that physical element facilitates. Regarding this last aspect, as but one example, the disclosure of an "aerial conveyance device" should be understood to encompass disclosure of the act of "aerially conveying"--whether explicitly discussed or not--and, conversely, were there effectively disclosure of the act of "aerially conveying", such a disclosure should be understood to encompass disclosure of an "aerial conveyance device" and even a "means for aerially conveying". Such changes and alternative terms are to be understood to be explicitly included in the description.
