Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is a braided filament including a plurality of strands each having at least one ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber and at least one polyester fiber wherein the quantity of certain types of fibers in a first strand is the same as the quantity of the same type of fibers in a second strand. In a variant, one additional strand of the braided filament is a monofilament strand. In another variant, each strand is homogeneous with respect to the other strands and is made exclusively from ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fibers and polyester fibers such that each strand has the same distribution and quantity of fiber types.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for determining tension or loading of a cable based on vibration of the cable. For example, a method can include obtaining accelerometer measurements from one or more accelerometers associated with a cable. Based on the accelerometer measurements, a vibration state of the cable can be determined. An estimated loading associated with the cable can be determined based on the vibration state of the cable. For example, generating the estimated loading associated with the cable can be based on determining one or more changes in the vibration state of the cable. The estimated loading can be indicative of a tension of the cable. The estimated loading can be a magnitude value, a delta value, or a time-based value, among others. The estimated loading can be determined from accelerometers that are separate from the load path of the cable.

Abstract: A system and method for performing structural health monitoring on a structural element while it remains in service and experiences normal loading. The energy input to the element will be the normal and random energy inputs the element sees in service. The inventive system places an intelligent module at one or more points along the length of the structural element. The inventive system collects mass data from multiple modules on multiple elements. The system then applies machine learning or artificial intelligence techniques to detect changes in the measurements received from one or more modules. This approach reduces or eliminates the need to provide calibrated input energy. The invention preferably provides the ability to determine the condition of one element or sub-element under measurement relative to other elements.

Abstract: A method of assembling an adjustable continuous filament assembly whereby a single length of filament is spliced to form a nonadjustable portion and a single free segment. The single free segment is introduced into the inner core of the nonadjustable portion at a first position. The single free segment is passed through at least a portion of the inner core of the nonadjustable portion. The single free segment is withdrawn from the nonadjustable portion at a second position, thereby forming an adjustable portion secured to the nonadjustable portion and adjustable by the single free segment.
