Abstract: Wearable assistive jamming apparatus and related methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a frame to be worn about a body part of a user and a jamming actuator carried by the frame. The example apparatus includes an electrode to deliver electricity from an electrical source communicatively coupled to the electrode to a muscle of the user. In the example apparatus, the jamming actuator is to transition from a flexible state to a substantially rigid state in coordination with the delivery of the electricity to the electrode to support the body part.

Abstract: A system and associated method is provided for supporting a submerged structure on an underwater floor. The system incorporates an inflatable container, a submergible supply of a settable composition and a submergible transfer system operable to transfer the settable composition from the supply to the container. The system is arranged so that the supply is subjected to a hydrostatic pressure in the order of that acting on the inflatable container.

Abstract: A bin liner dispensing system comprising a receptacle (19) and a bin (10), the receptacle (19) accommodating a number of folded collapsed liners, said liners being formed of a membrane and having a closed end and an open end, the liners being accommodated within the receptacle (19) in an overlying relationship with the open end uppermost, the receptacle having an opening through which the open end of the uppermost liner is accessible, opposed sidewalls (11) of the bin having a set of protrusions (15) in opposed relation to each other and in spaced relation from the base of the bin, the receptacle configured to be supported between the protrusions and the base of the bin to be retained adjacent or at the floor (17) of the bin (10).

Abstract: A sports board comprising a main portion (11) and an edge portion (13), the edge portion (13) being separable from the main portion (11), the edge portion (13) being engageable with the main portion (11), a connection means (17 & 19) providing the inter engagement between the main portion (11) and the edge portion (13) to prevent relative movement between the main (11) and edge (13) portions when engaged, the connection means (17 & 19) being able to withstand the forces anticipated to be exerted between the edge (13) and main (11) portions during use of the sports board. The invention also comprises the connection means (17 & 19).
