Abstract
A fastening device, which will facilitate the assembly of associated parts or manufactured articles, features a conductive target material for absorbing electromagnetic waves and converting wave energy to heat; an assembly element, contiguous with the target material, which expands upon exposure to heat emanating from the target material; and a solid adhesive material, contiguous with the conductive target material, which will become adhesively active and effect the adherence of the associated parts upon exposure to heat emanating from the target material.
