Abstract: The invention concerns a method for controlling coalescence of particles forming a structure subjected to a treatment designed to establish crosslinking between said particles. The method consists in recording at least a physical quantity, whereof the evolution is continuously measurable and whereto the particle crosslinking is correlated, and in stopping the treatment when said physical quantity reaches a value corresponding the desired coalescence. The invention is characterized in that it consists in measuring as said physical quantity the shrinking of said structure. The invention also concerns a method and a device for making a structure of mutually crosslinked particles using said control method and a method for obtaining a product with interconnected pores, in particular for bone substitution, using such a structure.

Abstract: A method of working metal in which molten metal particles are ejected from, for example, a welding electrode or from a metal workpiece being cut or drilled. The ejected molten metal particles are caused to pass through a contact region in which they make contact with a cryogen, for example, liquid nitrogen or solid carbon dioxide. The contact renders the particles non-adherent to any adjacent surface to which the particles would otherwise adhere. Alternatively, the adjacent surface may be cooled by contact with a cryogen so as to render the particles non-adherent thereto. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tubular acoustic attenuation piece (1) comprises at least two shells (2) with a cellular core. External fish plate strips (8) alone secure the shells together and are fixed to the shells by fixing mechanism which are not visible on the side of the internal skins. Each of the longitudinal connection edges consists of an edge face of the corresponding shell.  A tubular acoustic attenuation piece for a jet engine air intake, comprises at least two shells, each of which forms a longitudinal part of the tubular piece and which are connected along their longitudinal edges to form the piece. The wall of each shell consists of a permeable internal skin (3), of an impermeable external skin (4) and of a cellular core (5) between the internal and external skins. For each connection (7) between two longitudinal edges of two adjacent shells, an external longitudinal fish plate strip is arranged on the side of the external skins of the adjacent shells, straddling the connection, and secured to the external skins. The external fish plate strips alone secure the shells together and are fixed to the shells by fixing mechanism which are not visible on the side of the internal skins. Each of the longitudinal connection edges consists of an edge face of the corresponding shell, along which edge face the cellular core of this shell has a marginal area of the same thickness as the rest of the cellular core but which can be damaged, so that the shell, corresponding with the marginal area, has acoustic attenuation which is not as good as in the remainder of the shell. Two facing longitudinal edges of two adjacent shells leave a slot (9) between them. The sum of the width of the slot and of the widths of the two facing marginal areas is at most equal to 15 mm.
