  • Publication number: 20210267727
    Abstract: A dental prosthesis system includes a dental implant having a dental implant fixture and an internal locking collar extending upwardly from the dental implant fixture. The internal locking collar defines a central bore extending downwardly into the dental implant fixture. An abutment for cement has a base surface for placement against the dental implant, which defines a central hole aligned with the central bore. A securing mechanism secures the abutment for cement to the dental implant. The securing mechanism including an expansion locking system disposed through the central hole and within the bore. A portion of the expansion locking system is expandable outwardly so as to lock the abutment for cement to the dental implant fixture.

  • Publication number: 20110202317
    Abstract: Methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses support the design and building of an information technology infrastructure. Build information may be extracted from an architecture diagram so that an automation engine can build and configure the infrastructure solution. The architecture diagram contains custom property lists that are associated with corresponding infrastructure components. Build data is then generated from the architecture diagram so that the automation engine can build a specified information technology infrastructure. The architecture diagram may represent each infrastructure component with an icon that is selected from a collection of icons, where each icon has a custom property template. Configuration data is populated in entries of the custom property template in accordance with the associated infrastructure component.
