Abstract: A method for manufacturing a one-piece dental implant. The method includes the steps, in any order, of manufacturing an outer body of metal having a cavity and manufacturing an inner body of plastic or composite material having an outer profile. The cavity has an inner profile, and the outer profile of the inner body is complementary to the inner profile of the cavity of the outer body. The inner body includes a core manufactured within the cavity of the outer body. The respective profiles are wavelike rounded in an axial direction of the dental implant and tapering from the crestal end of the outer body to the apical end of the outer body, such as to decrease tension between the inner and the outer bodies and/or such that to provide for an anti-rotation lock between the two bodies.

Abstract: The present invention relates a probe forming lithography system for generating an pattern on to a target surface such as a wafer, using a black and white writing strategy, i.e. writing or not writing a grid cell, thereby dividing said pattern over a grid comprising grid cells, said pattern comprising features of a size larger than that of a grid cell, in each of which cells said probe is switched “on” or “off, wherein a probe on said target covers a significantly larger surface area than a grid cell, and wherein within a feature a position dependent distribution of black and white writings is effected within the range of the probe size as well as to a method upon which such system may be based.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lithography system for projecting an image or an image pattern on to a target such as a wafer. Energy that is accumulated in the target by the projection of the image or image pattern is removed from said target, such that expansion by local and/or overall heating is limited to a relevant pre-defined value, and wherein such heat removal is realised by the use of a phase transition in a heat absorbing material that is brought into thermal contact with said target. As a further elaboration, such material may be applied in combination with a further material having a superior coefficient of heat transport, and may be incorporated in an emulsion comprising a material having a superior coefficient of heat transfer. Said material may e.g. be adhered to a bottom face of the target, and may also be included in a frame.
