Abstract: The present invention relates to a mesh or membrane covering (2) based on biological material, for example collagen, or biosynthetic material for prostheses (1), in particular for a breast prosthesis (1), said prosthesis (1) having a rear surface that, when applied, is faced towards the person on whom (1) is applied, said covering (2) being characterized in that it provides a fixing system (4; 3) for fixing to said prosthesis (1), said fixing system providing a plurality of teeth or petals (4) or outer perimeter edge foldable on said rear surface of the prosthesis (1) by means (5). The invention further relates to a method for fixing said covering to a prosthesis, a prosthesis comprising said covering and a process for making said covering.

Abstract: A three-dimensional printing system can include a particulate build material including metal particles. The three-dimensional printing system can include a binding agent applicator fluidly coupled or coupleable to a binding agent. The three-dimensional printing system can include a suppression agent applicator fluidly coupled or coupleable to a melting point suppression agent, the melting point suppression agent including a dispersion of melting point suppression particles. The three-dimensional printing system can include a hardware controller to generate a command to direct the binding agent applicator to iteratively apply the binding agent to the particulate build material to form individually patterned object layers of a green body object, and direct the suppression agent applicator to iteratively apply the melting point suppression agent to a discrete location of the individually patterned object layers. The discrete location can include a discrete surface region of the green body object.

Abstract: A combined processing head includes: a jetting mechanism including a connection portion having a passage in communication with a nozzle and lens cylinder inner space, one connection portion end is connected to the lens cylinder and the other end to the nozzle extending therein and having a flange in close contact with a nozzle side wall forming an annular cavity with the side wall, the flange having through holes in communication with the annular cavity and a nozzle inner space, the nozzle side wall position at which the annular cavity is located has a liquid injection port to inject a saturated salt solution at a set pressure into the annular cavity; and a cooling mechanism including a cooling cylinder having openings at two ends, the cooling cylinder inside having a cooling tube to cool the ejected and flowing saturated salt solution to enable fine crystalline grains to be precipitated.
Abstract: A method for producing a shrink-fitted member by arranging a pillar shaped ceramic body inside a deep-drawn stainless steel pipe and shrink-fitting them. The method includes: a preparing step of preparing the deep-drawn stainless steel pipe produced by deep-drawing and the pillar shaped ceramic body; a heating step of heating the deep-drawn stainless steel pipe to 900° C. or more; and a shrink-fitting step of inserting the pillar shaped ceramic body into the heated deep-drawn stainless steel pipe and shrink-fitting them.
Abstract: A sliding ring for a grinding device consisting of a grinding element and a hood covering the grinding element and a sliding ring attachable to the side of the hood facing a surface to be machined, the sliding ring having a sliding surface provided for sliding on the surface to be machined, the sliding ring consisting of at least one elastic component and a sliding component, the sliding surface being formed on the sliding component and the elastic component being arranged on the side of the sliding component opposite the sliding surface.
