Abstract: Various embodiments and methods for improved joint repair are disclosed. At least some of the embodiments may include an adjustable loop construct with at least one anchor. At least some of the embodiments may include an all-suture anchor. At least some of the embodiments may include an adjustable loop construct with a locking passage. Embodiments may implement a method that reduces or avoids material removal from the bones of the joint. Embodiments may include means to reduce elongation of the repair over time.

Abstract: A turbine ring assembly having ring segments made of ceramic matrix composite material and each having first and second attachment tabs and a cavity for the circulation of air flow, a metal support having a first bracket and a second bracket bearing axially upstream against the second tab, a first metal flange arranged upstream of the first bracket and having an inner periphery bearing axially downstream against the first tab and an outer periphery fastened to the first bracket, and air passage orifices formed in the inner periphery of the first flange and/or in the second bracket, the orifices configured to ensure that the air flow passes from the cavity to the outside of the assembly.

Abstract: A device fabricates annular pieces by selectively melting powder. The device includes an inner annular wall and an outer annular wall that are concentric and that define an annular powder deposition zone, and a powder dispenser movable in rotation about an axis of the inner and outer annular walls. The powder dispenser includes a wiper extending between the inner annular wall and the outer annular wall and forming an angle with the radial direction of the inner and outer annular walls.

Abstract: A device (10) for fabricating annular pieces by selectively melting powder, the device comprising an inner annular wall (12) and an outer annular wall (14) that are concentric and that define an annular powder deposition zone (A), and a powder dispenser (16) movable in rotation about the axis (X) of the inner and outer annular walls (12, 14), the powder dispenser (16) including a wiper (18) extending between the inner annular wall (12) and the outer annular wall (14) and forming an angle (?) with the radial direction (R) of the inner and outer annular walls (12, 14).

Abstract: A method for adjusting a predetermined contour of a turbine blade root including a main salient edge defined by a determined interior angle. The method includes: chamfering the main edge of the contour to obtain two auxiliary salient edges, associated interior angles of which are respectively greater than the interior angle of the main edge; and blunting the auxiliary edges obtained to fine-tune the contour of the blade root.

Abstract: A bi-metallic component including a first member of a first metal and a second member of a second metal different than the first metal. The first member includes at least one perforation. The second member is directly cast-in-place about a sheet-like portion of the first member and through the perforation to rigidly secure the first and second members. When used in an automotive vehicle, the second metal of the second member is preferably of aluminum and the first metal of the first member is preferably a high strength steel for spot welding to other steel structures.
