Abstract: A cart for carrying a lineman along power line conductors includes a basket, vertical supports, a frame overhanging the basket, the frame mounting rollers which engage the conductors. The frame, vertical supports and basket define a generally C-shaped opening between the frame and the basket through which the conductors pass into vertical alignment with the rollers on the frame. The basket includes a wall remote from the opening which extends upwardly and away from the opening to provide a protected area for the lineman, the vertical supports being positioned between the opening and the area for protecting the lineman from conductors passing through the opening. The cart includes a safety cable affixed to the basket at the opening and removably attachable to the frame at the opening to provide a structural connection between the basket and the frame for strengthening the cart structure during cart movement.

Abstract: Provided is an accumulator that may store energy within a pressurized inflatable nail to compensate for small changes or losses in a system volume. Alternatively, the accumulator may be external to a pressurized inflatable nail and attached to the nail after the nail is implanted. The accumulator may be comprise a piston or a pressurized bladder. The energy may be stored in a spring, compressed air, or other pressure source. The accumulator may stabilize a system pressure by supplying fluid to the closed system. Alternatively, the accumulator may stabilize a system pressure by replacing the volume of the lost fluid.

Abstract: Managing mobile observation, including: customizing observation data collection including generating customized observation questions to meet particular needs of a client; dynamically building user-generated questions in both a web application and a mobile application in such an input form as to match the customized observation questions; collecting mobile observation data; and resolving conflicts in the observation data by synchronizing data residing in multiple locations.

Abstract: A method for creating a generated data set(s) for use in process capability calculations that mimics the statistics of a raw data set is presented. The method includes the steps of inputting desirable statistics and generating numbers from theoretical statistical distributions. This generated data can be combined with other generated data and used to calculate global process capabilities. In addition, the global process capabilities can be used to accept or reject supplier(s) from a list of suppliers. An apparatus for implementing the method outlined above comprising raw data statistics, number generating algorithm(s) and storage medium(s) is also presented.
