A system and method for joining dissimilar metals. In one embodiment, a method comprises providing a first metal plate, a second metal plate, and an intermediate body that is positioned between the first metal plate and the second metal plate. The first metal plate is then driven into the intermediate body, which causes at least a portion of the intermediate body to collide with the second metal plate. As a result, the material of the intermediate body joins the first metal plate to the second plate. In another embodiment, a method for joining dissimilar metals comprises providing a first metal that is not amenable to welding, a second metal that is joinable to the first metal, and an intermediate body that is not joinable to at least the first metal. The intermediate body may have at least one hole such that the first metal and the second metal are positioned over and on opposite sides of the hole(s). At least a portion of the second metal may then be driven into the hole(s) to be joined to first metal.

A unit (10) for the regulation or control of a fluid pressure, having at least one housing section (13, 14) and a switching film (22) connected to the at least one housing section (13, 14) for switching at pressure differentials relative to an ambient pressure acting on the switching film (22), and for the regulation, release or blocking of a flow of the fluid between an inlet (28) and a discharge (30) for the fluid. The switching film (22) is made out of a polymer material having fluorine and carbon, in particular a thermoplastic having fluorine and carbon. In this arrangement, a hole cross-section (40) of the at least one housing section (13, 14) is closed off by the switching film (22).

Method for forming a shield connection of a shielded cable with the steps of pushing a sleeve onto a shield of a cable, inserting the cable with the sleeve into a magnetic pulse welding coil, and energizing the magnetic pulse welding coil with a current pulse in such a way that the sleeve is joined to the shield with a material bond.

An electric heating pad for warming a patient. The electric heating pad may be a heated underbody support, heated mattress or heated mattress overlay. An embodiment of the heating pad includes a flexible sheet-like heating element including an upper edge, a lower edge, and at least two side edges. The heating pad may also include a shell covering the heating element and comprising at least two sheets of flexible material (e.g., two sheets may be one sheet folded over to form at least two sheets). The two sheets of flexible material may be coupled together about the edges of the heating element by a weld. The material of the two sheets may include urethane. In some embodiments, a catalyst to accelerate hydrogen peroxide decomposition is coated on or impregnated into an element within the shell, or on the interior surface of the shell.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a metal-ceramic substrate (1) comprising: —providing a ceramic element (30) and at least one metal layer (10), wherein the ceramic element (30) and the at least one metal layer (10) extend along a main extension plane (HSE), —joining the ceramic element (30) to the at least one metal layer (10) to form a metal-ceramic substrate (1), in particular by means of a direct metal joining method, a hot isostatic pressing method and/or a soldering method, and —machining the at least one metal layer (10) by means of a machine tool (40) and/or laser light in order to define a geometry, at least in some portions, of a side face (15) of the at least one metal layer (10) not running parallel to the main extension plane (HSE).

An unconventional beverage accessory that can be submerged in cold or hot drinks. The Lignin-Cellulose layer, Coalesce Amalgamator and Supplementation Disperser are beverage accessories designed to tackle global waste, boredom, settle supplements. The new invention helps add structure, advancement in modern society. The new invention is a small Lignin Coalesce Supplementation Disperser designed for a person with health conscious, environmental conscious and advanced new beverage concepts.

This new invention is designed to help prevent messy spotty clutter on tables etc. This present invention is also designed to take control with stiff firmness on its thin organic form. The new invention's one time usage is designed to make rich compost.

The three major commodities coffee, tea, powder supplements are then sealed inside between layers of lignin formed in coalesce veneer sheets and non-woven corn fabric sheets.
