Abstract: The improvement of the present invention pertains to a frustoconical abutment intended to overcome the problem of the implant's lack of parallelism. The abutment can be of the Allen-driven type or the through-screw type. Both engage with an implant ranging from partially to totally inserted below the gingival margin. The abutment of the Allen-driven type includes a threaded cavity that receives a threaded member of a prosthesis. The through-screw abutment includes a threaded through-opening that also receives the threaded member of a prosthesis. The frustoconical abutment permits a dentist to reduce the mass to end up with a resulting shape that will correct the lack of parallelism typically created by misaligned implants and allowing for more aesthetic form which mimics a natural tooth shape. This is particularly helpful when part of the implant's end protrudes from the gingival margin instead of submerged below it.

Abstract: A device for reading and transmitting the electrical energy consumption by a user through his telephone line, at predetermined time intervals. Current and voltage sensors provide an analog output that is converted to a digital output and transmitted to a general purpose computer where the necessary energy computations are made. The data is then sent to the central office through an automatic modem at a preselected time when the lines are not congested.

Abstract: Flap for vehicle windows comprising flexible internal and external sheets that sandwich a cushion member. Three portions or sections are defined, namely, an external end section, a middle section and an internal section. The middle section mounts over a conventional window opening and it has the cushion member. A magnetic member is mounted to the underside of the external lowermost end of the external section and it is intended to removably secure the external section against the vehicle. Adhesive means are provided to removably secure the internal section to the interior of the vehicle's door.
