Abstract: A method for the magnetic pulse soldering of an item having a stack of sheets consisting of a metal material. At least one hole through a thickness of the stack is formed. The first and second plates, both consisting of a metal material, are arranged on either side of the stack. A covering area covering at least one through-hole is formed. The plates-stack assembly is positioned opposite an active part of a coil such that a working area of the covering area faces the active part of the coil and the working area covering at least one hole. The working area is subjected to a magnetic field until the assembly is joined. While the working area is subjected to the magnetic field, pressure is exerted on the first plate, in the region of at least one hole, pressing the first plate against the second plate.

Abstract: A method for shaping a part using a magnetic pulse is provided. A thin conductive layer is positioned on the part. The part is positioned between a coil and a matrix, the conductive layer being arranged between the coil and the part. An induced current, generated by the coil, is configured: to vaporize the conductive layer generating a pressure wave in the direction of the part. Additionally, the induced current is configured to accelerate the part in the direction of the matrix in association with a magnetic field generated by the coil, pressing the part against the matrix, thereby shaping the part. Further, a method for welding a part using a magnetic pulse is provided.

Abstract: A method for joining two tubular parts, an internal part and an external part, by magnetic pulses. The external part includes an annular wall having an outer surface. Over a longitudinal portion of the external part, a thickness of the annular wall of the external part is reduced such that the annular wall has a decreasing thickness over the longitudinal portion. The tubular parts are positioned one inside the other to form an overlap region covering the longitudinal portion. The tubular parts are positioned next to a coil such that the longitudinal portion is disposed opposite an active part of the coil. The two tubular parts are connected by magnetic pulses.

Abstract: Disclosed is an injection tip for injecting liquid metal under pressure, suitable for being inserted between a liquid metal supply conduit and an injection opening of a mould, the injection tip having a tubular in shape, made from electrically insulating refractory material and in that it includes a channel suitable for the flow of liquid metal between a first end referred to as the upstream end, suitable for being connected to the conduit, and a second end, referred to as the downstream end, suitable for being connected to the mould, and an electromagnetic coil, positioned between the ends, the axis of which merges with at least a portion of the axis of the channel. Also disclosed is a casting machine using such a tip and a method for casting metal using the machine.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an expandable dental implant assembly for supporting a prosthesis, with a shaft member, configured to engage the central bore and cause plurality of blades to extend radially from openings disposed in the body portion, anchoring the implant into the bone structure surrounding the implant.

Abstract: An implant assembly for supporting a prosthesis, the assembly comprising: a implant comprising: a body portion located at a distal end of the bladed implant; a collar portion located at a proximal end of the implant; a central bore extending through the collar portion and into the implant body portion, the central bore having an engagement portion and comprising a plurality of openings radially disposed with a plurality of blades pivotally connected to the body portion of implant, each blade aligned with one of the plurality of openings and capable of moving between a retracted position to an extended position; and a shaft member, having a proximal section and a distal section, said shaft member configured to engage the central bore thereby causing the plurality of blades to extend radially from the body portion anchoring the implant into the bone structure surrounding the implant body portion.
