Nuclear fusion is a type of nuclear reaction in which two atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy. For a fusion reaction to take place, the nuclei, which are positively charged, must have enough kinetic energy to overcome their electrostatic force of repulsion. Thermonuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium will produce a helium nucleus and an energetic neutron. This is one basis of the Hydrogen Bomb, which employs a brief, uncontrolled thermonuclear fusion reaction. A great effort is now under way to harness thermonuclear fusion as a source of power. See; Hydrogen Bomb, Thermonuclear.
The combination of two hydrogen atoms to create a helium atom, yielding energy.

1. A spot welding process. 2. The merging of different elements into a union resulting from fusing. 3. Fusion welding technology uses an electrical charge to bond parts together by melting metal alloys at a very focused point of contact. This method of bonding is preferred over other conventional bonding methods such as soldering or brazing methods which usually result in the annealing of the parts being bonded. With fusion welding there is no annealing, burning or distortion. Fusion welding has been a mainstay in the jewelry industry for many years. Fusion provides a fast, clean bond between similar and dissimilar metals when using fusion findings. A large capacitor is used to store an electrical charge, like a battery. That charge is released through a fusion finding as it touches the surface of the receiving metal. A small explosion occurs which blows all of the oxides and gases away from the weld. For the next millionth of a second a vacuum exists, allowing the metals to bond in the residual heat. Low temperature (pot metal) and lead bearing alloys are not compatible with fusion welding.

a nuclear reaction in the center of a star that releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of radiation. In most stars, two hydrogen atoms are fused into a helium atom.
The permanent joining together of two bones which normally articulate upon each other as a joint. Bone is stimlated to grow across the joint space from both sides by removing all cartilage lining the joint and exposing the bleeding inner surface of the bone. These surfaces are then compressed (usually by placing screws across them). This compression can hold the ideal position as fusion is occurring and the compressive force also stimulates the process. The time taken for fusions to knit together soundly varies. A big toe (MTP) joint will on average require 6 weeks compared to twelve weeks for an ankle. Once fusion is complete the two bones are effectively one bone. Fusion is a common procedure for arthritis and results in the loss of movement of the joint.

The fusion process begins when raw materials are blended into a glass composition, which is melted and conditioned to be homogeneous and virtually defect free. The molten glass is fed into a trough called an “isopipe,†filling it until the glass flows evenly over both sides. It then rejoins, or fuses, at the bottom, where it is drawn down to form a continuous sheet of flat glass.

The graft can be an autograft (bone taken from the patient) or an allograft (cadaver bone).
The process by which atomic nuclei collide so fast that they stick together, form new atoms, and emit a large amount of energy. In the center of most stars, hydrogen fuses into helium.

Take a simple example--a sequential file with a size of 32K, and NetWare preset for 4K block transfers. Without fusion, NetWare will handle the file status quo--"break" it up into eight 4K blocks, which now become requests in the I/O queue. Then, through such NetWare features, as split and elevator seeking, NetWare will handle the requests as it sees fit (i.e., in the order in which it deems is the most expedient). With the data fusion, the driver recognizes the eight requests residing in the I/O queue as being sequential that have been "broken up". It then takes that series of requests out of the queue, "fuses" them back together into a single request, and processes the entire file at the same time. Because a driver utilizing this feature does its own elevator seeking, it will appropriate each I/O request immediately after NetWare places it in the (NetWare) elevator queue. The data fusion feature can be dramatically illustrated through the use of NCOPY and identical hardware (only the drivers are switched). Running under NetWare 386, this feature can deliver performance increases by as much as 297%, depending upon the traffic of the file server. Maximum fused block size is 32MB.

(aka "thermonuclear" or "hydrogen")--generation of energy by fusing hydrogen nuclei together into larger nuclei
Nuclear fusion is an atomic reaction in which many nuclei (the centers of atoms) combine together to make a larger one (which is a different element). The result of this process is the release of a lot of energy (the resultant nucleus is smaller in mass than the sum of the ones that made it; the difference in mass is converted into energy by the equation E=mc). Suns are powered by nuclear fusion, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. In this process, 4 hydrogen nuclei combine to form a single helium nucleus; about 0.3% of the original mass is converted into energy Zoom Astronomy Astronomy Dictionary Click on an underlined word for more information on that subject.

The phase transition of a substance passing from the solid to the liquid state; melting. In meteorology, fusion is almost always understood to refer to the melting of ice, which, if the ice is pure and subjected to one standard atmosphere of pressure, takes place at the ice point of 0°C ( see melting point). Additional heating at the melting point is required to fuse any substance. The specific enthalpy that must be added to fuse ice is called the latent heat of fusion and is approximately 3.35 × 105 J kg−1.
