A device for automatic illumination and inspection of tubular probes, in particular stents, is proposed, with rotatable means for holding the probes that are to be inspected, with an electronic camera and associated lens, with a computer-based electronic imaging system, and with means for illuminating the probe that is to be inspected. Each R and R\u2032 is alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, haloalkyl, haloaryl, or mixtures thereof. The weight of the beam pulling at the floats is transferred back and forth, as the ocean swells move over the beam, which activate machine components that may be installed in the beam, the floats or with rods connecting the floats to the beam. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention 10, the tubular shaped housing includes shower ports 36 of various sizes on a slidable inner tubular member 32 providing the user the ability to control the volume of the water dispersed. Opposite ends to the input output ends are open. The method includes: applying a reinforcement plate to the mid-span shroud; applying braze material to at least a portion of a perimeter of the reinforcement plate; heating the component to melt and flow the braze material between the reinforcement plate and the mid-span shroud; and allowing the braze material to cool and solidify so as to bond the reinforcement plate to the mid-span shroud.
