Patent number: 11525333Abstract: An apparatus and a method of controlling flow communication with an apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus includes a flow communicator, a flow control member, an uphole-disposed flow interference effector uphole of the flow communicator, and a downhole-disposed flow interference effector downhole of the flow communicator. While each of the uphole-disposed flow interference effector and the downhole-disposed flow interference-effector, independently, is contacting the flow control member, the flow communicator is closed. Displacement of the flow control member, relative to the flow communicator, in the downhole direction, opens the flow communicator.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 13, 2022Assignee: NCS Multistage Inc.Inventor: Juan Miguel Montero Fernandez

Patent number: 8944818Abstract: A lower region of a temporary abutment includes an anti-rotational feature for non-rotationally mating with a dental implant. An upper region of the temporary abutment includes a first anti-rotational structure and at least one retention groove. A top surface of the temporary abutment includes one or more informational markers that provide information concerning the dental implant. A temporary abutment cap is configured to be coupled to the upper region of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap has at least one projection configured to mate with the at least one retention groove of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap has a second anti-rotational structure that is configured to slideably engage the first anti-rotational structure of the temporary abutment. The temporary abutment cap is configured to be coupled with a temporary prosthesis such that the temporary prosthesis and the temporary abutment cap are removable from the temporary abutment.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2012Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Biomet 3i, LLCInventors: T.

Publication number: 20110094542Abstract: The invention relates to a method including spraying steam in the form of multiple jets with a pressure and a temperature depending on the characteristics of the solar panel to be cleaned and of the impurities to be removed and at an angle that can be adjusted relative to the panel. The method can be combined with gentle cleaning using elements contacting the surface of the panels to be cleaned. The device includes a self-propelled vehicle, a water tank feeding a system for treating and purifying the water prior to feeding a steam generator, with a means for regulating the output temperature and pressure of the steam, which enters a system for distribution to the steam diffusers, which are coupled on a support associated with a cantilevered structure of the self-propelled vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2009Publication date: April 28, 2011Applicant: SOLAR BRIGHT, S.L.Inventors: Antonio Gonzalez Rodriguez, Pedro Luis Roncero Sanchez-Elipe, Rafael Morales Herrera, Osvaldo Daniel Cortazar Perez, Fernando Jose Castillo Garcia, Pedro Antonio Hungria Diaz Del Castillo, Alfonso Parreno Torres, Luis Miguel Gomez Lopez, Vicente Feliu Batlle, Miguel Montero Dominguez
