  • Patent number: 11948707
    Abstract: A system for providing cable support may be provided. The system may comprise a conductor core, a filler that may provide integral core support, and armor. The conductor core may comprise at least one conductor. The filler may be applied around at least a portion of the conductor core. The armor may be applied around at least a portion of the filler. The applied armor may be configured to cause the filler to apply a strong enough force on an exterior of the conductor core configured to keep the conductor core from slipping down an interior of the filler due to a gravitational force. In addition, the applied armor may be configured to cause the filler to apply a strong enough force on an interior of the armor configured to keep a combination of the conductor core and the filler from slipping down the interior of the armor due to the gravitational force.

  • Patent number: 11611200
    Abstract: Pulling eyes are provided with integrated wiring systems suitable for installing conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may include body portions that define interior cavities that are sized to snugly engage outside portions of the conductors or cables. The body portions are sized to be deformably crimped onto the outside portions of the conductors or cables. The pulling eyes may also include head portions joined to the body portions, with the head portions defining apertures for receiving a strength member for installing the conductors or cables. These apertures place the interior cavities in communication with the exteriors of the pulling eyes.

  • Patent number: 11441278
    Abstract: A breakaway pole including an elongated pole body extending between a bottom end and an upper end and a base connected to the bottom end of the elongated pole body. The base includes an interior flange having at least one slot. The breakaway pole includes a breakaway clamp mounted on the at least one slot of the interior flange of the base. The breakaway clamp includes a nut and a clamp body. The clamp body has a tapered main body and two lateral breakaway flanges. The lower portion of the tapered main body is positioned within the slot of the interior flange of the base. The two lateral breakaway flanges extend laterally outward from the upper portion of the tapered main body so that the two lateral breakaway flanges contact the interior flange of the base laterally beyond the at least one slot.

  • Publication number: 20160346566
    Abstract: A method for estimating a dose gradient of the parameters of a beam of ionizing particles, the dose being deposited by the beam in a voxel of a meshed phantom of a patient, each mesh cell comprising voxels of one and the same material, the parameters of the beam comprising a fluence parameter and geometric parameters, the method comprises the determination of the analytic function for the gradient of the dose, deposited per mesh cell, of the parameters of the beam; and the determination of the estimation of the gradient of the dose in the voxel. Certain procedures for estimating the dose deposited are described. Developments deal with configurations having several independent of partially dependent irradiating beams, optimizations of the treatment plan using cost functions and the management of beams moving along trajectories. The use of servo-controlled robotic arms or of other mobile systems during irradiation is described.
