An implant may include a self-expanding support frame having a circumference and a central longitudinal axis, a membrane disposed over at least a portion of the support frame, and a plurality of anchors arranged into a first row and a second row such that the first row and the second row form a staggered pattern about the circumference of the support frame.

Abstract: A lift device and a method of controlling the lift device are provided. The lift device has a lifting mechanism supporting a lifting platform relative to the chassis. An electric motor is drivingly coupled to a traction device, and a traction battery is in electrical communication with the electric motor. A user input is provided to control a speed of the lift device by inputting a requested speed. A controller is configured to, in response to the lift device being on a non-zero grade and if the requested speed is greater than a predetermined speed, command the electric motor to output a braking torque and provide electrical power to the traction battery, and limit the speed of the lift device to the predetermined speed.

Abstract: A lift device and a method of controlling the lift device are provided. The lift device has an electric motor drivingly coupled to a traction device, and a traction battery. A hydraulic circuit has a pump with a pump motor, and a valve. In response to a voltage being above a threshold voltage while the electric motor is outputting a braking torque and providing electrical power to the battery, flow of the pump is increased and the valve is controlled to reduce a size of the valve opening and increase pressure in the pressure galley thereby reducing electrical power to the traction battery. The flow of the pump and the valve position are therefore controlled in response to a braking power output being greater than a threshold to dissipate braking power output into the hydraulic circuit and charge the traction battery with the remaining braking power output.

Abstract: An AWP boom is coupled to a platform rotator through a novel load sensing linkage system which provides both structural support and load sensing capabilities of an attached platform support structure. The load sensing linkage system includes an upper flex plate and a lower flex plate and a single load cell for load sensing capabilities. The flex plates provide for stiffness in all directions except where necessary for load sensing.

Abstract: A liner for an aircraft comprises a sheet of material having a plurality of standoffs integral with the liner sheet that extend in opposite directions from the plane defined by the liner sheet. Standoffs extending in one direction comprise an end portion for accommodating placement against the inside surfaca of the fuselage skin. Standoffs extending in an opposite direction have a generally planer end portion to accommodate the placement of an insulation blanket thereon. The liner comprises a matrix of both types of standoffs uniformly distributed throughout the liner sheet. A plurality of openings are through the sheet between the standoffs. The standoffs extend a predetermined distance from the plane of the liner sheet to provide a predetermined amount of separation between the inside surface of the skin and insulation blanket.
