The compliant support (34) responds to a compressive first force by producing a spring-like second force which opposes the first force.

In order to achieve maximum flake size, the crushing system applies a relatively gradual pressing force rather than a rapid, impact type of force.

In addition, there is a horizontal compression force toward the center.

Tightening results in the compression members contacting the muscle target site with increasing compressive force.

The tensioned cord (203) and patch (236) may be used with or without a fusion implant device (206) in order to, in the former instance, contribute to compressive forces applied to the fusion device by the surrounding bone structures.

A wire guide may support the wires in the shaft such that they are able to transmit a compressive force without buckling.

In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a pressure pad provides a compressive force to the venous plexus region of the foot.

At least one grinding roller presses resiliently against a bed of particulate material on the grinding track and applies a compressive force.

The dressing bolster may be adapted to apply a compressive force to the tissue site capable of closing a wound or incision therein.

In one embodiment, a container (50) is provided for at least partially surrounding an injured organ (10) and exerting a compressive force upon the organ (10).

During club head manufacture, the length of the device is selected to apply a compressive force between the head surfaces.

The case (10) comprises a pair of faces (12) adapted to distort when a compressive force is applied parallel to the plane of the disc (34).

The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health states that anything above 3,300 newtons is unsafe.

A second lamina is then stacked onto the one side of the first lamina, and then a compressive force is applied to specified areas of the laminate.

The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health states that anything above 3,300 newtons is unsafe.
