Publication number: 20190247151Abstract: A dental restorative system (10) includes a dental prosthesis (21), a support surface (13a or 30) and a cement gap (22) between those opposing surfaces. A number of dry-fit features (11) can be placed upon the support surface (13a or 30) or the prosthesis (21) such that the features (11) extend into cement gap (22). Dry-fit features (11) serve to position the prosthesis (21) during a dry-fit procedure and during subsequent cementing of the prosthesis (21) to its support surface (13a or 30).Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2017Publication date: August 15, 2019Applicant: DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc.Inventors: Eric BRIGHT, Alexander YARMARKOVICH, Anton VENDLAND, Najib KHALIL

Publication number: 20110308872Abstract: A clutch mechanism for a motorized bicycle includes: a motor-assisted power source; a pedaling-assisted power source; a clutch that holds the motor-assisted power source away from the wheel so as not to encumber the pedaling-assisted power source. The clutch engages the wheel with a roller gear for either motor-assisted or independent power. A second concave V-shaped roller drive slips over the first concave V-shaped roller to increase the speed of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Inventor: David Eric Bright
