Abstract: A delivery device for a collapsible prosthetic heart valve, the delivery device including an inner shaft, a distal sheath disposed about a portion of the inner shaft and forming a compartment with the inner shaft, the compartment being adapted to receive the prosthetic heart valve, the inner shaft and the distal sheath being movable relative to one another, and a handle including a frame having a longitudinal axis, a proximal end and a distal end, the handle further including a deployment actuator and a hub, each of the deployment actuator and the hub being independently capable of opening and closing the compartment, the hub further including a hub actuator coupled to the inner shaft.

Abstract: A method for mounting a roll of protective mesh material to an underground rock drilling machine comprising at least one drilling boom. The method comprises at least the following steps: inserting a first end of a first bar from a first lateral side of the roll of protective mesh material into a center of the roll of protective mesh material, fastening the first bar directly or indirectly to the drilling boom, inserting a first end of a second bar from a second lateral side of the roll of protective mesh material opposite the first lateral side into the center of the roll of protective mesh material, fastening the second bar directly or indirectly to the drilling boom in a location that is spaced apart from the first bar, securing the roll of protective mesh material against autonomous unrolling.

Abstract: Described herein are computer implemented frameworks and methodologies for enabling risk analysis (and in some cases resilience testing) for a system comprising physical assets. This may include use of a disaggregation/re-aggregation methodology thereby to understand risks based on engineering parameters underlying assets. Some embodiments take into particular consideration risks that evolve over time due to changes in climate and other external or internal scenarios. While some embodiments will be described herein with particular reference to such applications, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to such a field of use, and is applicable in broader contexts.

Abstract: Described herein are computer implemented frameworks and methodologies for enabling climate change related risk analysis. Aspects of the technology are especially applicable where a desire exists to understand risks in systems containing a large number of interdependent assets.

Abstract: A resin injection apparatus 19 for use in connection with a drilling apparatus 10 for installing ground anchors. The resin injection apparatus 19 comprises a resin injector adaptor 20, adapted to be connected in fluid communication with a hollow drill shaft 21 of a drill rig 10. The resin injector adaptor 20 can be used to inject one or more resin fluids into the drill shaft 21 wherein, in use, when a hole has been drilled in a rock stratum, resin can be injected into the hole via the drill shaft prior to inserting a ground anchor.

Abstract: In a method for lining tunnel walls or ceilings with protective nets or the like, web-shaped protective net material is unwound from a reel and is fastened to the tunnel walls or ceiling by tie bolts. The reel is rotatably arranged. The rotation of the reel about a shaft is controlled in order to unwind the protective net material, the shaft being mechanically moved in steps along the tunnel walls or ceiling together with the reel. The protective net material unwound in each step is preferably stretched and mechanically fastened. The individuals carrying out these processes are thus not exposed to any direct risk, while the lining process can be accelerated.

Abstract: In a method for lining tunnel walls or ceilings with protective nets or the like, web-shaped protective net material (8) is unwound from a reel (7) and is fastened to the tunnel walls or ceiling by means of tie bolts. The reel (7) is rotatably arranged. The rotation of the reel (7) about a shaft (30) is controlled in order to unwind the protective net material (8), the shaft (30) being mechanically moved in steps along the tunnel walls or ceiling together with the reel (7). The protective net material (8) unwound in each step is preferably stretched and mechanically fastened. The individuals carrying out said processes are thus not exposed to any direct risk, while the lining process can be accelerated.

Abstract: A right-angled electrical connector (30) has a one-piece electrically insulating body (32) molded over a subassembly (10) that includes a first electrically conductive member 12 with a hollow end (16) and an electrical contact (18a) mounted within the hollow end (16). In the mold the contact pin (18a) is electrically isolated from the member (12) and electrically insulating material of the body 32 flows around the contact pin (18a).
