A method for using a guard for structural members is disclosed. This can reduce worker injury with a thin sheet metal or plastic, broadly U-shaped guard plate attached to a structural support through attachment to a pair of clamps, each with a primary and a secondary threaded clamp mechanism. The attachment between the guard plate and pair of clamps may be via a slotted intermediate structure. The primary mechanism has a swivel pad end while the secondary clamps have a pointed, cone-shaped end. The guard can be used in wind turbine towers to protect workers on a fixed ladder from hitting interior flanges as they climb up and as they climb down.

Guard assembly and method

This invention relates generally to a method of identifying an individual having an increased susceptibility to developing Familial Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (FPPH), as well as to a method for diagnosing an individual suffering from FPPH. The invention also relates to a method of identifying an individual having an increased susceptibility to developing (non-familial) Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH), as well as to a method for diagnosing an individual suffering from PPH.

Method of diagnosing pulmonary hypertension

A guard for protecting a horse's tail while supported in a tail set. Curved metal rods, welded together, enclose an area around the horse's tail and prevent contact between it and surrounding objects. Small cloth strips with buckles fasten the metal structure to the straps of a tail set which holds it in the vicinity of the horse's tail. Loops formed from the ends of the metal rods abut the rear quarters of horse and inform it when its tail approaches a surrounding object too closely. As a result, the horse learns to limit its movements so as to avoid contact between such objects and its tail guard.
