One in 50 people are living with paralysis (Dana & Christopher Reeve Foundation). Children and adolescents represent a significant percentage of patients (20% are under 20 years of age and 5% are under 15 years of age).
For decades dental implants and abutments have been made of Titanium as it is the ultimate material for use in the human body. Problem was the Ti abutments would create a dark area through the tissue between the restoration and the implant in the bone.
Thumb screws, wing nuts or knobs are usually hand tightened to secure parts that do not require large clamping forces. However, they are subject to undesirable loosening due to vibration.
There is a need for a more reliable hand tightened fastener that does not loosen.
The thermal stir welding process (U.S. Patents 7,980,449 & 8,127,977) is a new solid-state (meaning the weld metal does not melt during welding) welding process invented at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The unique welding process (FIGURE 1) decouples the heating,
Amid frantic cries for help, some youths from the nearby locality joined in the rescue, pulling out those still alive, long before firefighters reached the spot. The death toll would have been less had the hospital authorities allowed them in to evacuate the patients earlier.
