Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for obtaining a metal implant for open porosity tissue support and/or replacement, characterized in that it includes the following steps: (i) selecting a mold, (ii) arranging in the mold a solid metal core (7), (iii) filling the volume of the mold (1) still available with the powder of microbeads (3), (iv) integrating the microbeads with one other as well as with said at least one solid core (7) by electrical discharge machining.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a valve device (1) designed to be implanted in a dysfunctional larynx or in a prosthetic larynx, said device comprising a distal portion forming an annular support structure (3, 3', 3'') and a central portion forming an obturator (5, 5'), characterized in that said obturator (5, 5') comprises i) a peripheral part forming a first valve (7, 7', 7'') integral with the annular support structure (3, 3', 3'') in a first hinge region (2, 2''), and ii) a central part forming a second valve (9, 9', 9'') integral with the first valve in a second hinge region (4, 4'').
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device (10) for catalytic treatment of a motor vehicle exhaust gases (G), comprising an upstream tube (12) for exhaust gas (G) intake and a downstream tube (14) for exhaust gas (G) evacuation between which is interposed a longitudinal gas (G) treating chamber comprising catalytic treatment means based on metal fibres (24) traversed by the gases (G). The invention is characterised in that the catalytic treatment means is a block (18) of metal fibres (24) impregnated with a catalytic compound arranged inside the treatment chamber (16) and comprising at least an upstream conical or tapering intake cavity (26), directly fed by the gas (G) intake tube (12) which emerges opposite the cavity (26) base and whereof the concave housing (34) forms the entry surface of the gases (G) to be treated in the fibre block.
