A labyrinth seal is a type of mechanical seal that acts like a channel for liquids, providing a complicated path for fluid to get caught in and prevent leakage. In this way, these seals provide non-contact sealing action by controlling the passage of fluid through an array of chambers by centrifugal motion, as well as by the formation of fluid vortices. Consequently, they can be utilized in a variety of operational settings, including on rotating assemblies where the movement can even make the seal more effective depending on the design. As a result of these capabilities, labyrinth seals have found use in an array of pipelines and other applications that involve fluid transfer.

Both carabiner hooks and snap hooks are used commonly by mountain climbers, rescuers, students, boaters, and other people who are using these devices in order to carry and pull additional weight. Carabiners are dependable and easy to use hooks that open when pressure is applied inwardly, while snap hooks require pressure applied downward. Both these types of hooks have spring-loaded gates, but their functions vary depending on the hook you select.
