    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic fuse (30) comprising: a fuse body (32) defining a plenum (34), the plenum comprising: an inlet (35) configured to couple to a first fluid location (37); and an outlet (36) configured to couple to a second fluid location (38). The hydraulic fuse further comprises a first fuse element (39) arranged to close the inlet, the first fuse element configured to open the inlet when a pressure differential between the first fluid location and the plenum reaches a first threshold; and a second fuse element (40) arranged to close the outlet, the second fuse element configured to open the outlet when a pressure differential between the plenum and the second fluid location reaches a second threshold, wherein the first threshold is higher than the second threshold. In an inactive state, the inlet is closed by the first fuse element and the outlet is closed by the second fuse element to prevent fluid flow through the plenum; and in an active state, the pressure differential between the first fluid location and the plenum reaches the first threshold to cause the first fuse element to open and permit fluid flow through the inlet, and the pressure differential between the plenum and the second fluid location reaches the second threshold to cause the second fuse element to open and permit fluid flow through the outlet.

    摘要: There is provided a method for scanning of an object in a scanning apparatus. The method comprises placing the object into a jacket which surrounds the object or a part of the object to be scanned. The volume of the jacket surrounding the object is solid or filled with a filling material. The jacket is disposed on a support of the scanning apparatus, so that the jacket is positioned between an imaging beam emitting element and an imaging beam receiving element oppositely disposed to either side of the support. The support is rotatable relative to the emitting and receiving elements about an axis of rotation to allow creation of an image from projections each taken at a different relative angle of rotation. The method further comprises operating the scanning apparatus at the multiple relative angles of rotation to produce an image of the object.
