A rigid electrical raft is provided to a gas turbine engine via a fusible mount arrangement. The rigid electrical raft may be a part of an electrical system of the gas turbine engine, for example a part of the electrical harness. The fusible mount is arranged to break when a predetermined load is applied. The rigid electrical raft may be attached to a fan case of the engine, and the predetermined load may be that which results from a fan blade being released from the hub. This ensures that the rigid electrical raft is protected from the load.

A pressure vessel includes a polymeric liner defining a fluid containment cavity and having an opening defining a port aperture extending between an inner surface and an outer surface of the polymeric liner and a rigid ring element is embedded within the polymeric liner and surrounding the port aperture. A metallic port element is disposed on the outer surface of the polymeric liner and fixed to the rigid ring element. A fiber composite material is disposed about the outer surface of the polymeric liner.

Disclosed herein are methods, compositions and tools for repairing articular surfaces repair materials and for repairing an articular surface. The articular surface repairs are customizable or highly selectable by patient and geared toward providing optimal fit and function. The surgical tools are designed to be customizable or highly selectable by patient to increase the speed, accuracy and simplicity of performing total or partial arthroplasty.

An implantable tissue marker incorporates a contrast agent sealed within a chamber in a container formed from a solid material. The contrast agent is selected to produce a change, such as an increase, in signal intensity under magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An additional contrast agent may also be sealed within the chamber to provide visibility under another imaging modality, such as computed tomographic (CT) imaging or ultrasound imaging.

Structural members having enhanced load bearing capacity per unit mass include a skeleton structure formed from strips of material. Notches may be placed on the strips and a weave of tensile material placed in the notches and woven around the skeleton structure. At least one pair of structural members can be jointed together to provide very strong joints due to a weave patterns of tensile material, such as Kevlar, that distributes stress throughout the structure, preventing stress from concentrating in one area. Methods of manufacturing such structural members include molding material into skeletons of desired cross section using a matrix of molding segments. Total catastrophic failures in composite materials are substantially avoided and the strength to weight ratio of structures can be increased.

A wound care product having buffer substances and a wound cover, and a method for treatment of a wound therewith. The wound cover has a foam. The pH value of the buffer solution obtained when the buffer substances are dissolved in demineralized water at 37° C. is between 3 and 7.

Embodiments of golf club heads with apertures and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

A magnesium alloy part is inserted into a mold, a resin composition is injected and joined to the part, and a composite is obtained. A part having, formed thereon, a surface layer of a metal oxide, a metal carbonate, or a metal phosphate in use of a usual conversion treatment or a modification method thereof can be used for the magnesium alloy plate 1. The surface that has a larger amount of crystal-like objects of a nanolevel on the surface layer composed of the metal oxide, metal carbonate, or metal phosphate has a higher level of hardness, microscopic roughness, and good injection joining force, and these parameters can be controlled by a conversion treatment method. A resin composition 4, containing PBT or PPS as the main component, is used as the resin composition part.

The disclosure relates to a method for producing a overlapping connection, in which at least two overlapping components are connected to one another via a folded flange, with a first edge of a first component being folded over a second edge of a second component to form the folded flange, along with a body component that includes such an overlapping connection for a vehicle and a stamping tool for such a body component. According to the disclosure at least one connection region is formed on the folded flange, in which the stamping tool stamps the first component through the second component at least one stamping point, with displaced material of the first component passing into the second component and producing a positive connection.

The shank (12) of a disposable rotary cutting tool (10) comprises a pipe section (16) cut from a drawn metal pipe. The tool head (14) is formed from a cut-out (18a, 18b) of a drawn metal sheet or a section of a metal tube by non-cutting machining. The pipe section (16) and the tool head (14) are advantageously attached by force fitting.
