A mounting set for use in mounting an external stores to a mounting station of an aerospace vehicle includes a mounting bracket arrangement and a strap arrangement. The bracket arrangement is configured for selective reversible engagement with respect to the mounting station and for cooperating with the strap arrangement. The strap arrangement is configured for securing the bracket arrangement to the stores in load bearing abutment therewith to enable transfer of loads between the stores and the mounting station via said bracket arrangement, in operation of said mounting set. A mounting system is also provided for mounting an external stores to an aerospace vehicle having two or more mounting stations, including a mounting set for each mounting station. Mounting methods are also provided.

Mounting set, system and method

Method for producing a coated medical support device capable of insertion into the body, the method including the procedures of applying a coating to a section of a work-piece, positioning the work-piece in the vicinity of an electromagnetic field generator, and substantially proximate a forming mandrel, inducing electromagnetic forces in the work-piece which accelerate the work-piece toward the forming mandrel, and forming the work-piece to a medical support device, by changing the original physical configuration of the work-piece to a second physical configuration, the forming mandrel having a mandrel physical configuration, the second physical configuration being influenced by the mandrel physical configuration.

Method for producing a coated medical support device

Method for producing a medical support device from an object, using an electromagnetic field generator, whereby the method comprises of the steps of placing a formation mandrel against the object, close to a predetermined formation area, and applying the electromagnetic field to the formation area, thereby forming the object. The produced object can be made from a tubular segment, a folded sheet of material or a plurality of wires joined together.

Method and apparatus for manufacturing medical support devices

System and method for opening and temporarily supporting a section of a generally tubular organ, the system includes a dilation catheter, the dilation catheter includes an integrally connected shape memory catheter tip, the shape memory catheter tip, is made of a shape memory alloy, wherein said shape memory catheter tip assumes a first shape at a first temperature and a second shape at a second temperature.

Method and system for temporarily supporting a tubular organ

There is provided a system for opening and temporarily supporting a section of a generally tubular organ. The system includes a dilation catheter which has an integrally connected shape memory catheter tip. The shape memory catheter tip is made of a shape memory alloy. The shape memory catheter tip assumes a first shape at a first temperature and a second shape at a second temperature. Accordingly, the shape memory catheter tip is inserted into the body of the patient, while being in a narrow shape and expands within the body of the patient.

Method and system with shape memory heating apparatus for temporarily supporting a tubular organ

System for opening and temporarily supporting a section of a generally tubular organ, the system comprising a dilation catheter, and an inflatable balloon, the dilation catheter includes an integrally connected shape memory catheter tip, the shape memory catheter tip, is made of a shape memory alloy, the balloon being inserted within said shape memory catheter tip, wherein the balloon is operative to inflate, thereby moving the shape memory catheter tip from a first shape into a second shape, and wherein the shape memory catheter tip changes from the second shape to the first shape when heated from a first temperature to a second temperature.

Removable support device

A squib valve which has an inlet port associated with a pressurized fluid source, an outlet port, flow initiation apparatus for initiating a flow of the pressurized fluid between the inlet port and the outlet port, apparatus for activating the flow initiation apparatus, and flow control apparatus for permitting an increase in the flow at no more than a predetermined maximum rate of increase such that a maximum volumetric flow via the outlet port is reached only after a predetermined minimum period of time has elapsed, thereby reducing the occurrence and magnitude of shock and hammering downstream of the outlet port that would be provided by an uncontrolled outflow of the pressurized fluid.
