Apparatus (40) for compressing a transcatheter cardiac stent-valve (10) comprises: a first compressor stage (100) including a hollow channel (42) with a tapered interior surface configured for compressing a stent-valve in response to longitudinal advancement of the stent-valve within the channel; and a second compressor stage (102) comprising a crimper for compressing a portion of the stent-valve without longitudinal advancement.

A device may provide, to a user device, a first message instructing a technician to move fiber cables and may receive a first signal based on the technician moving the fiber cables and a rest signal based on the technician stopping movement of the fiber cables. The device may calculate a distance, an average peak signal, and a baseline signal based on the first signal and the rest signal and may calculate a data collection window based on the distance, the average peak signal, and the baseline signal. The device may provide, to the user device, a second message instructing the technician to move one fiber cable at a time and may receive second signals based on the technician moving one fiber cable at a time. The device may provide, for display to the user device, the data collection window and indications of the second signals.

A system for adjustably mounting a component of an electrical assembly to a wall structure; the wall structure including at least a wallboard. The system is configured so that an outward facing surface of the component may be adjustably positioned relative to the outward facing surface of the wallboard. The system comprises of a bracket disposed between adjacent studs of a wall structure, a base plate, a mounting plate, a cover plate, protective plate, an electrical component fastener, and an electrical component opening. A method for adjustably mounting a component of an electrical assembly to a wall structure comprising a mounting plate, a base plate, a bracket, a stud of the wall structure, a planar surface of the wall structure with adhesive, threaded fasteners, a component of an electrical assembly, a cover plate, and a protective plate.

An automatic cutting machine includes a feed for cables and a transport device for feeding a cable according to a predetermined cable length and a cutting device for cutting a cable to length. The automatic cutting machine has a multiple infeed which is designed to feed different cable cross-sections or cable types. The multiple infeed has a plurality of tubes which are each associated with a cable cross-section/a cable type and which are tiltably mounted on an adjusting slide.

Energy and a control signal may be provided using a coupled power and control cable. The coupled power and control cable may comprise a power cable, a control cable, and an overall jacket. The power cable may be connected between a switch and a fixture and may provide energy to the fixture from the switch. The control cable may be connected between the control circuit and the fixture and may provide the control signal to the fixture from the control circuit. The power cable and the control cable may be disposed beneath the overall jacket.

A device is used to sever an electrical power cable for the transmission of high voltage. The device includes a frame having first movable cutting blade carried thereon and second stationary cutting blades carried thereon. The blades can sever the electrical power cable upon movement of the first cutting blade relative to the frame. A sensor is provided and is configured to register a position of the first cutting blade relative to the frame. An evaluation and/or transmission controller is configured to receive information from the sensor and interrupt severing of the electrical power cable by the blades in response to the information.

A smart cord reel cable including at least one sensor for measuring cord or cord reel usage, a memory for receiving sensor input to create usage records, and a processor for analyzing the usage records to provide information for maintenance status indication and/or usage analytics.
