Abstract: A framing assembly for crown molding includes a mounting bracket and a plurality of mounting blocks. The mounting bracket is elongated in a length direction and adapted for mounting in a construction joint with the length direction extending in parallel with the joint axis. The mounting blocks are connected to the mounting bracket and spaced apart in the length direction. The crown molding is secured in the joint via connection to the mounting blocks.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for framing windows and doors. The apparatus includes buck blocks each having a block buck strip on one side, first furring strip, first finishing sheet, second finishing sheet, and optional second furring strip and buck lentil having a lentil buck strip extending along its bottom. The method includes the steps of laying buck blocks up opposing sides of an opening with their block buck strips facing into the opening, installing a window or door frame in the opening, installing a first furring strip, installing the first and second finishing sheets, and trimming the second finishing sheet flush with the first finishing sheet. The second finishing sheet proximal edge is wedged securely between the buck strip ramp and the frame outer side by virtue of a preferred embodiment buck strip ramp angle of 34 degrees±15 degrees.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to remove dental implant. The apparatus comprises a guide ring rotatably attached to a base, means to rotatably attach the guide ring to the base, means to attach the apparatus to an implant, and apparatus to remove dental implant indexing means sized to mate with implant indexing means when the apparatus is attached to the implant. Where an abutment is mounted to the implant, means of attaching the base to the abutment is taught. The method includes the steps of attaching the apparatus to an implant or abutment, sliding a trephine burr bore over the guide ring, and using the guide ring to guide the trephine while drilling into bone in which the implant is implanted, without drilling into the implant or abutment.

Abstract: A self-limiting occlusal reduction burr and method of use. The self-limiting occlusal reduction burr comprises a shank rigidly attached to one end of a conical shoulder, and a burr rigidly attached to an opposite end of the shoulder. The shank, shoulder, and burr are all axially symmetrical about an axis. A shoulder angle is defined by a shoulder outside surface and the axis, and in the preferred embodiment was 39°±20°. The self-limiting occlusal reduction burr may include indicia specifying a length of said burr and/or a diameter of said burr.
