A soft shackle (300) is provided that incorporates a locking mechanism (380) that prevents or limits travel of a loop (160) from passing back over a shackle knot (120) caused by slippage when not under tension of a load. The locking mechanism controls the loop's ability to expand in size, such as through a positive locking force or establishes a safety factor with respect to the size of the loop needed to slip over the knot, or both.

FUSE ASSEMBLY HAVING INLINE TRIGGER FOR CONTROLLED FAILURE AND ROPE SYSTEMS CONTAINING THE SAME
A fuse assembly (1) for rope systems. A catch (2) is a rope segment having a certain failure strength. An accompanying trigger component (6) has a predetermined failure point which can be less than the failure strength of the catch, acting as a sacrificial element to reveal the potential risk of rope recoil. In one embodiment, the catch includes connecting ends (4), and the trigger is remote from the catch. In other embodiments the trigger includes the connecting ends and the catch is separate from but works cooperatively with the trigger. Additional hold components (16) can accompany the system, as well as first and second chafe protection layers (14,15).

A computer-implemented method using a mobile device to inspect a rope. Visual data is captured, wherein the visual data includes one or more sections of the rope along a length thereof. The images are analyzed using a knowledge base implemented within logic of a control system of the mobile device. From the knowledge base, an expected life for the rope is calculated, and a report is generated on the mobile device to display the expected life of the rope as calculated from the knowledge base. The method further includes the step of processing the visual data to ready the visual data for analysis. This involves breaking down the visual data into tiles, wherein the visual data is broken into multiple image segments along the length of the rope.

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.
