Abstract: Assemblies and methods for fixation of bone or bone fragments using an orthopedic plate having a slot that causes the bone or bone fragments to compress as a screw is inserted into the slot and rotated therein. By anchoring the orthopedic plate to a first bone or bone fragment and rotating the screw into the second bone or bone fragment at an angle that may be up to approximately fifteen degrees from perpendicular to the top surface of the orthopedic plate, the screw head causes the orthopedic plate to traverse away from the first screw thereby causing the first bone or bone fragment to be drawn toward and/or compress with the second bone or bone fragment.

Abstract: A multi-functional support for a motor vehicle, wherein the multi-functional support comprises a plurality of mounts for accommodating, in a supporting manner, motor vehicle front elements, wherein the motor vehicle front elements are visible in the installed state in an outside top view of the motor vehicle, wherein the multi-functional support together with the received motor vehicle front elements can be fixed so as to be mounted in a floating manner on a body of the motor vehicle, wherein the floating mounting is designed such that, by releasing the fixing and by displacing the multi-functional support relative to the body, a joint line, which is visible in an outside top view of the motor vehicle, between the motor vehicle front elements and outer motor vehicle trim parts directly adjacent to the motor vehicle front elements can be adjusted in a predefined manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-functional support (1) for a motor vehicle, wherein the multi-functional support (1) comprises a plurality of mounts for accommodating, in a supporting manner, motor vehicle front elements (2; 3; 12), wherein the motor vehicle front elements (2; 3; 12) are visible in the installed state in an outside top view of the motor vehicle, wherein the multi-functional support (1) together with the received motor vehicle front elements (2; 3; 12) can be fixed so as to be mounted in a floating manner on a body (11; 13; 14) of the motor vehicle, wherein the floating mounting is designed such that, by releasing the fixing and by displacing the multi-functional support (1) relative to the body (11; 13; 14), a joint line (30), which is visible in an outside top view of the motor vehicle, between the motor vehicle front elements (2; 3; 12) and outer motor vehicle trim parts (8) directly adjacent to the motor vehicle front elements (2; 3; 12) can be adjusted in a predefined manner.
