Abstract: The disclosure presents a method of manufacturing a dental component (110; 210; 410; 510) with an angulated channel (170; 270; 470; 570) and for being mounted to a dental implant is disclosed. The dental component has a coronal side (130; 230; 430; 530) and an apical side (120; 220; 420; 520). The method comprises the steps of forming a first hole (140; 240; 340; 440) and a second hole (150; 250; 450; 550). The first hole substantially extends along a first axis (141; 241; 341; 441; 541) and is formed as a blind hole having an end region (143; 243; 343; 443; 543). The second hole substantially extends along a second axis (151; 251; 451; 551), wherein the entrance to the second hole is located coronally to and intersecting the end region of the first hole for creating the angulated channel. The first axis and the second axis are inclined with respect to each other. At least a part of the end region of the first hole is kept as a part of the angulated channel.

Abstract: The present invention addresses above-noted objectives by providing a dental component that includes a coronal end, an apical end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the coronal end and the apical end. The dental component also includes an interface for assembly to another dental component, the interface comprising at least one indexing section for rotationally locking the dental component to the other dental component and at least one guiding section. The at least one guiding section and the at least one indexing section alternate about the longitudinal axis, wherein the guiding section includes an apically facing or coronally facing guiding surface. Further, a tangent to at least a portion of the guiding surface has a slope towards the next indexing section about the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dental component (20; 120) forming the basis for at least a part of a prosthetic dental arch and comprising at least two subcomponents (21, 22; 121, 122) and a connecting device (30; 130) for compensating an offset in position and/or orientation between the subcomponents (21, 22; 121, 122). Each subcomponent (21, 22; 121, 122) includes a mounting portion (25, 26; 125, 126) for mounting the dental component (20; 120) on at least one dental implant or at least one dental implant analogue (11, 12; 111). The connecting device (30; 130) comprises a rotary compensation means (50, 60; 150, 160) that connects the two dental subcomponents (21, 22; 121, 122).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a placement device for a dental component, a method for handling a dental component with a placement device, a dental component for placement with a placement device and a set comprising a placement device and a dental component. The placement device (1) for a dental component (2) is preferably an implant and comprises a proximal end (11), a distal end (12) and a coupling mechanism (20) for coupling the distal end (12) to the dental component. The coupling mechanism includes at least one movable pin (21) having a longitudinal axis (A1) and being movable along its longitudinal axis (A1) relative to the placement device (1) for engaging the dental component. It also includes at least one engagement part (28) at the distal end of the placement device (1) for engaging the dental component, the engagement part having a longitudinal axis (A2).

Abstract: A method for drying a wet CO2 rich gas stream from an oxy-combustion process that includes: compressing the wet CO2 rich gas stream to a drying process operating pressure, cooling the wet CO2 rich gas stream in at least one cooler, alternately drying the wet CO2 rich gas stream in at least one dryer which contains at least one desiccant bed and regenerating the desiccant bed by conducting a heated regenerating gas through the dryer in opposite direction to the flow direction of the wet CO2 rich gas stream, separating the dried CO2 rich gas stream in a purification process to a purified CO2 gas stream and a waste gas stream rich in nitrogen and oxygen, whereby the waste gas stream rich in nitrogen and oxygen is used as regenerating gas, and subsequently to the regeneration the dryer is purged at least once by a pressurized CO2 rich gas stream conducted from the compressor, and whereby the dryer is charged up to the drying process operating pressure with a pressurized CO2 rich gas stream conducted from the comp

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of operating a boiler system that includes an oxy-fuel boiler in which an oxygen stream and a fuel stream are combusted to generate a flue gas stream. An air separation unit produces the oxygen stream for the oxy-fuel boiler. A gas processing unit cleans and compresses at least a portion of the flue gas stream generated in the oxy-fuel boiler producing a pressurized carbon dioxide stream. The method includes operating the boiler system, at least for a period of time, in a recirculation mode, during which a carbon dioxide stream from a CO2 compression unit within the gas processing unit is evaporated in the air separation unit and forwarded as a stream to the gas processing unit. The present disclosure further relates to a boiler system for an oxy-fuel process as well as to a power plant comprising such a system. The present disclosure also relates to the use of a carbon dioxide containing stream as a refrigerant.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of operating a boiler system that includes an oxyfuel boiler in which an oxygen stream and a fuel stream are combusted to generate a stream of flue gas, an oxygen gas source producing the stream of oxygen for the boiler, and a gas processing unit for cleaning and compressing at least a portion of the stream of flue gas generated in the boiler for producing a stream of pressurized fluid comprising carbon dioxide. The method includes operating the boiler system, at least for a period of time, in an evaporation mode, in which a stream of oxygen from the oxygen gas source in liquid form is evaporated prior to being introduced in the boiler by transferring heat energy to the stream of liquid oxygen from a first stream of carbon dioxide of the gas processing unit. The present disclosure further relates to a boiler system for an oxy-fuel process as well as to a power plant comprising such a system.
