A kind of stainless steel auger braid welding material and its manufacturing method are disclosed in the invention, involving the field of welding technique. The stainless steel auger braid welding material consists of core wires and several steel tendons, wherein the said welding wire is of a round-bar shape; the said steel tendons are wrapped on the external surface of the said core wire along the axial line and stranded around the circumference of the said core wire, and each steel tendon shall be stranded by winding several fine wires. For the stainless steel auger braid welding material adopted in the invention, its melting rate is fast.

An end fixing structure of a composite wire rod includes a composite wire rod, a wedge body that is formed into a cylindrical shape with an enlarging diameter from a front end portion, wherein an inner wall surface is formed for engaging with the outer surface of the composite wire rod which is copied onto the inner wall surface, and a sleeve provided on an outer peripheral side of the wedge body and having a conical and hollow inner structure, and the wedge body consists of a plurality of divided wedge bodies, facing each other on their divided surfaces with a space therebetween, and the inner wall surface in the divided wedge body is made of microscopic irregularities, thereby shortening a processing time and maintaining a sufficient gripping power over long term.

Cable structures of security systems may include multiple subassemblies having different cut-resistant characteristics. One system includes, inter alia, a portable article, a support, and a length of a cable assembly extending between a first cable end coupled to the portable article and a second cable end coupled to the support, where the cable assembly includes a first cable subassembly extending along at least a portion of the length of the cable assembly, and a second cable subassembly extending along at least the portion of the length of the cable assembly and adjacent to the first cable subassembly, and where the first cable subassembly includes a first cut resistant characteristic and the second cable subassembly includes a second cut resistant characteristic that is different than the first cut resistant characteristic.

A cable, which may be produced by the method described herein, comprises a cable with a core jacket comprising a predetermined cable length where the core jacket comprises a thermoplastic material comprising a memory characteristic which changes based on temperature, a set of core components, disposed within the core jacket, which comprise the predetermined length, and a strength member disposed within the core jacket intermediate the core components and the core jacket. The strength member comprises a selectively activated pre-impregnated uncured synthetic material adapted to be cured while in production, the strength member comprising a length substantially equal to the predetermined length.

Disclosed is a cable comprising a core and a PCM layer surrounding the core wherein the PCM layer consists of a PCM composition wherein the PCM composition comprises a PCM and an ethylene copolymer; and the core consists of a yarn, strand, or wire each made of a natural or synthetic polymeric material or a metal. The invention is useful for thermal management in a variety of applications in such as, for example, automotive, building, packaging, garments, and footwear.

An end fixing structure of a composite wire rod includes a composite wire rod, a wedge body formed in a cylindrical shape, whose outside diameter expands from a tip portion subject to a tensile force toward a back end portion on a fixed side, to whose inner wall surface an outer surface of the composite wire rod is transferred, and in which the inner wall surface engaging with the outer surface of the composite wire rod is formed, and a sleeve provided on an outer circumferential side of the wedge body and having an internal structure of a conical hollow whose diameter expands toward the back end portion on the fixed side, wherein the wedge body is formed from a plurality of divided wedge bodies and the inner wall surface is formed from a fine irregularity.

Yarns incorporating filaments of shape memory materials are described herein that enable the creation of fabrics, garments, and other materials with tunable force absorption or exertion capabilities, as well as creating complex shapes and structures upon actuation. Systems and methods described herein enable selective buckling, recruitment, compression, and other desirable phenomena by actuating fibers in knitted patterns, whether used as isolated filaments or in twisted yarns.

A rope system for system level recoil control and method for providing a rope system for system level recoil control are provided. The rope system includes a first rope component and a second component, and the second rope component is connected in series to the first rope component. The first rope component includes a first rope subcomponent and a second rope subcomponent, the first rope subcomponent has predetermined failure strength and is designed and configured to be a controlled failure point for the system, and the second rope subcomponent has a predetermined elongation capability. Upon failure of the first rope subcomponent, the second rope subcomponent is configured to elongate to absorb a predetermined amount of a predetermined operational strain energy of the rope system and to stretch over a predetermined distance and/or predetermined period of time before the second rope subcomponent fails.

A compensation and tie-down member for an elevator system includes one or more lightweight compensation tension elements having a first tensile strength/unit mass/unit length, and one or more heavier weight compensation tension elements having a second tensile strength/unit mass/unit length less than the first tensile strength/unit mass/unit length.
