    Abstract: This invention discloses a series of low-cost, castable, weldable, brazeable and heat-treatable aluminum alloys based on modifications of aluminum-manganese-based alloys, which turn all the non-heat treatable Mn-containing aluminum alloys into heat treatable alloys with high-strength, ductility, thermal stability, and resistance to creep, coarsening and recrystallization. These alloys inherit the excellent corrosion resistance of the Al—Mn-based alloys and can be utilized in high temperature, high stress and a variety of other applications. The modifications are made through microalloying with one or any combinations of tin, indium, antimony and bismuth at an impurity level of less than 0.02 at. %, which creates nanoscale α-Al(Mn,TM)Si precipitates with a cubic structure (wherein TM is one or more of transition metals, and Mn is the main element) in an Al(f.c.c.)-matrix with a mean radius of about 25 nm and a relatively high volume fraction of about 2%.

    Abstract: A penile prosthesis is disclosed that can alternate between an erect and flaccid state based on the shape memory properties of an exoskeleton that is responsive to increases and decreases in temperature. The exoskeleton consists of a shape memory alloy, such as nitinol, which in the erect configuration can radially expand and resist axial loads and buckling forces during coitus. The shape memory alloy is temperature-tuned to undergo a change to an erect state under external application of heat and can revert to a flaccid state with cooling below resting penile temperature.

    Abstract: Methods of forming three-dimensional metallic objects are provided. A metal oxide paste comprising metal oxide particles, a polymeric binder and an organic solvent is extruded through a tip to deposit sequential layers of the metal oxide paste on a substrate to form a three-dimensional metal oxide object. The three-dimensional metal oxide object is exposed to a reducing gas at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to reduce and to sinter the metal oxide particles to form a three-dimensional metallic object. Depending upon the composition of the metal oxide paste, the three-dimensional metallic object may be composed of a single metal, a simple or complex metal-metal alloy, or a metal-ceramic composite.
