Abstract: A removable die of a joining tool comprising a die head having an upper side, a bottom side and a die shaft extending from the bottom side and receivable and lockable in a die dome without rotation. The die shaft comprises: at least one first radial web forming an axial undercut on two sides by which the die shaft is lockable in the die dome by a linear inserting movement, at least one second exposed radial web, the radial length of which is adaptable to a diameter of the die dome to ensure a lateral guiding of the die shaft in the die dome and which is arranged between the die head and the first radial web, and an ejection surface by which the removable die can be moved out of the die dome and which is arranged at the free end of the die shaft opposite to the die head.

Abstract: A die chanter for a die of a joining device, a die dome adapted to the die and a method for removing a die of a joining device and a method for inserting a die into a joining device. The die has a head having upper and bottom sides, and a shaft extending from the bottom side and receivable and lockable in a dome without rotation. The shaft comprises: at least one first web forming an undercut on two sides by which the shaft is lockable in the dome by a linear inserting movement, at least one second web, the length of which is adaptable to a diameter of the dome to ensure a lateral guiding of the shaft in the dome and which is arranged between the head and the first web, and an ejection surface by which the die can be moved out of the dome.

Abstract: A testing apparatus receives a test component between a force introduction table and a pressure plate, which apply a compressive load to the component therebetween. First and second shear beams are secured to opposite vertical edges of the component to respectively introduce upwardly and downwardly directed shear forces into the component. The upwardly directed shear force is generated by a first hydraulic cylinder that is arranged above the pressure plate in a horizontally adjustable manner on a head frame, and that is connected to the first shear beam through two tension rod assemblies including tensile force measuring transducers. The downwardly directed shear force is generated by two second hydraulic cylinders that are arranged under the pressure plate and that are connected to the second shear beam by strut assemblies including compressive force measuring transducers. High shear loads can be applied in the same vertical plane as the compressive load.

Abstract: A temporary lead for pacing or monitoring purposes with insertion tool. The temporary lead is thin and lightweight having an electrical connector at a proximal end and an electrode at a distal end. A length of surgical thread is permanently attached to the electrode. A helix is molded into the surgical thread at a short distance from the electrode. A curved needle is permanently attached to the surgical thread. The curved needle is inserted into a first location of the tissue manually or using the disclosed tool which provides insertion at a fixed depth. The curved needle exits the tissue at a second location. The curved needle and surgical thread are pulled from the second location thus bringing the electrode into sufficient contact with the tissue. The helix is elongated under the stress of tension supplied to pull the electrode into position. The excess surgical thread is cut at the second location, removing the tension.
