A prosthetic liner cleaning apparatus including a base that permits a first fluid to flow therethrough, includes an input aperture, a center member comprising an output aperture, and a duct in fluidic communication with each of the input aperture and the output aperture. The apparatus further includes a dispenser positioned in fluidic communication with the duct and configured to dispense a second fluid into the flow of the first fluid in the duct and a stem including a lower end, an upper end, and a fluid channel positioned in fluidic communication with each of the lower end and the upper end, the stem being attached to the base at the lower end and extending upward therefrom, and the fluid channel positioned in fluidic communication with the output aperture. The apparatus further includes a cap member attached to the stem at the upper end thereof to eject fluid.

Apparatus for cleaning prosthetic liner and associated methods

A method for computer-aided simulation of operating parameters of a technical system including a plurality of modules which each contain one or more components is provided. Failure events with associated downtimes for each component are simulated in a predetermined operating period using a first probability distribution for the moment of failure of the components and a second probability distribution for the length of the failure of the components, and a third probability distribution for a degree of reliability of the modules is determined. Based upon the probability distributions for the degrees of reliability of the modules, operating parameters of the technical system are simulated for the predetermined operating period. The method is used for any technical facilities, in particular for energy generation facilities.
