  • Publication number: 20230083433
    Abstract: Dental tools and methods for at least one of seating, insertion and removal of one or more components of dental attachment assemblies are described herein. The dental tools comprise an elongate member, an expandable grabber positioned around at least a portion of the elongate member, and an adjustment mechanism. The elongate member comprises an expander, which can have different widths or diameters along its length such that an adjustment of a position of the expandable grabber relative to the elongate member via the adjustment mechanism adjusts a width or diameter of at least a portion, preferably an end portion, of the expandable grabber.

  • Patent number: 11358259
    Abstract: A driver tool for insertion and removal of a first part configured for threaded engagement in a corresponding threaded bore in a second part has a driving end portion of polygonal shape with multiple flats configured for engagement in a recess in the first part having a corresponding polygonal shape. Some or all of the flats have a respective grabbing feature or edge designed to grab or grip into the opposing surface of the recess to allow a greater amount of torque to be applied to the first part when the tool is rotated in the unthreading direction than when it is rotated in the opposite threading or insertion direction.

  • Publication number: 20190050560
    Abstract: The techniques described herein enable client APIs to be deployed within isolated computing environments while externally exposing and/or maintaining a log of computing events that the client APIs perform and/or attempt to perform within the isolated computing environments. Generally described, configurations disclosed herein enable audit parameters associated with client application programming interfaces (APIs) to be deployed within an isolated computing environment to generate a log of computing events performed by the client APIs. Ultimately, access to the log of computing events is provided externally to the isolated computing environment without exposing sensitive computing resources (e.g., a host operating system (OS)) to the various client APIs.
