    Abstract: The invention relates to a braided rope for bend-over-sheave applications consisting essentially of n braided primary strands being made of polymeric filaments, which rope has an oblong cross-section with aspect ratio in the range 1.2-4.0. Such a rope shows markedly improved service life performance in cyclic bend-over-sheave applications. The invention also relates to the use of a braided rope according to the invention as a load-bearing member in bend-over-sheave applications; and to a system comprising such a rope and at least one sheave with a groove, the dimensions of which groove are adapted to the rope dimensions.

    Abstract: To provide a knotless cord that is capable of exerting sufficient tensile strength of a fibrous body. A knotless cord has a sleeve and a fibrous body inserted into the sleeve, wherein the sleeve and the fibrous body are connected to each other by applying tension in a longitudinal direction of the sleeve and then tightening the sleeve. Moreover, in the knotless cord a locking portion for preventing the fibrous body from slipping out of the sleeve is provided in at least two sections (first locking portion, second locking portion). Therefore, stress generated by applying tension is dispersed throughout the entire fibrous body, while preventing the fibrous body from slipping out of the sleeve, whereby stress concentration occurring in each locking portion is alleviated.

    Abstract: A controlled failure rope and method of making the same. The controlled failure rope comprises first and second portions. The first portion is formed of a first material having a first set of tension failure characteristics. The second portion is formed of a second material having a second set of tension failure characteristics. The first and second sets of tension failure characteristics differ such that, when the rope is subjected to tension loads above a tension threshold, the first portion of the rope begins to fail before the second portion of the rope, therefore providing a prior indication of possible rope failure before the rope becomes completed separated.

    Abstract: An improved self-spreading trawl (13) includes first panels (56T, 56B) which when towed through a body of water (12) separate on opposite sides of the trawl's central axis (62). Portions of panels (56T, 56B) form portions of the trawl's mouth (26). The trawl (13) also includes second panels (56P, 56S) which separate on opposite sides of the central axis (62) from the sides occupied by the panels (56T, 56B). Portions of panels (56P, 56S) form portions of the trawl's mouth (26). Regions of panels (56P, 56S) generate more outwardly directed lift than corresponding regions of the panels (56T, 56B). When towed through the body of water (12): a) a distance separating the panels (56P, 56S) exceeds; b) a distance separating the panels (56T, 56B). Also a braided product strand which includes at least 3 plaits (76, 102), at least one (76) of which is larger than the others (102), advantageously exhibits less drag and vibration.

    Abstract: A whale-safe goundline rope for attachment to undersea traps and seagoing buoys. This rope is made of melt-processable polymers having filler particulate distributed uniformly throughout the polymer, prior to it being extruded into a fiber or yarn. The manufacturing process generates a hollow rope, with that being a rope made from hollow fibers or yarn. The filler particulate is sufficient to provide a rope with negative buoyancy.

    Abstract: A high strength suture is made from a LCP/polyester composite of braided filaments having a high coefficient of friction. Knots tied in a suture made from such braided filaments have a tendency to stay in place better than the prior art UHMWPE/polyester composite knots. The inventive suture may include a multifilament cover of fibers of LCP and/or LCP composite fibers. Where a core is employed, the core may be made up of twisted fibers of LCP and liquid crystal composite fibers. If desired, the composite fibers can be a combination of LCP and other polymers such as polyester, nylon, fluoropolymers such as FEP or PTFE or olefins such as polypropylene, polyethylene or UHMWPE. A low friction coating, such as silicone, may be applied over the outside surfaces of the suture.

    Abstract: A trawl's mesh cells include at least three mesh bars. A cell's first mesh bar includes a first product strand formed by a core product strand enclosed within a sheath. The sheath resists sliding along the core product strand during the trawl's assembly and field operations. The first product strand also mechanically connects to a second product strand forming the mesh cell's second mesh bar. The mechanical connection includes a clamp which encloses at least the slide-resistant, sheathed portion of the first product strand. A particularly preferred embodiment for the sheath includes at least one spiraling product strand interwoven with other encircling product strands. The spiraling product strand has a diameter that is larger than a diameter of each of the other encircling product strands. An improved method for catching fish with a trawl system includes a step of assembling the trawl system by combining selected trawl components. The improved method also includes deploying the sheathed, first mesh bar into a body of water, and propelling it through the body of water.
