Abstract: A hose assembly including elongated flexible metal hose
(112) attached to a hose fitting (114) having a fitting body
defining a passageway (116) for conveying material. The
fitting body has a mating portion (120) for connecting the
hose assembly to a corresponding fitting which delivers or
accepts material passing through the hose assembly. A sleeve
engages a surface of the fitting body and secures an end
portion of the metal hose to the fitting by trapping the end
portion of the metal hose between the sleeve and the fitting
body. During installation, the sleeve is inserted into the
body and subsequently the hose is inserted into a gap between
the sleeve and fitting body. A fixture having a radially
expanding member is slipped into the sleeve and brought into
contact with the sleeve to deform the sleeve and consequently
trap an end of the hose between the sleeve and the fitting.

Abstract: Apparatus 10 for fracturing a hard material 24 includes a loading head 12 provided with
a guide tube 14 for receiving a cartridge 16 containing a charge of energetic material. A
flexible elongated conduit 26 is advanced and retracted through the tube 14 via a reel
88. The conduit 26 is also in communication with a stemming loader 30 which holds a
supply of particulate stemming material. Tube 14 is supported by a carriage 70 which is
able to slide along a member 52 by operation of a rod 76 and cylinder 78. A motor 60 is
also coupled to the member 52 to effect rotation of the member 52 and thus tube 14
about an axis A which is parallel to a hole 18 drilled in the material 24. By appropriate
operation of the motor 60 and rod 76, the tube 14 can be moved into and out of
alignment with the hole 18. When the tube 14 is moved into alignment with the hole
18, cartridge 16 is loaded into the tube 14 and pushed through the tube 14 into the hole
18 by advancing the conduit 26. Particulate stemming material from the loader 30 is
then injected through the conduit 26 into the hole 18. Tube 14 and conduit 26 are then
retracted from the hole 18 and subsequently moved out of alignment therewith. The
cartridge 16 may then be initiated to cause fracturing of the material 24.

Abstract: Apparatus and method provide flexibility in generating a stimulation waveform to an electrode of an Implantable Neuro Stimulator (INS). The stimulation waveform is synthesized for each rate period interval. Each rate period interval is partitioned into time intervals, during which stimulation pulses, recharging, and time duration delays may be induced. With the embodiment of the invention, a second stimulation pulse, having different electrical characteristics than a first stimulation pulse, may be generated during the rate period interval. An embodiment utilizes apparatus comprising a waveform controller and a waveform generator that are controlled by the waveform controller. The waveform controller uses waveform parameters to instruct the waveform generator to form stimulation pulses. Any of the components may be adjusted or deleted in the generation of the stimulation waveform. The embodiment enables any of the associated waveform parameters to be updated at the waveform controller in order to alter the stimulation waveform.
